The existence and imminent arrival of theSamsung Galaxy Watch FEhave been all but confirmed, after official support pages for the upcoming smartwatch were spotted on various international versions of theSamsungwebsite.
As reported byMySmartPrice, the support pages don’t name the smartwatch, but do refer to the device model number SM-R861. That model number hasrecently appearedin regulatory filings in the United Arab Emirates, with the Galaxy Watch FE name.
You can see the UK version of the support pagehere. It doesn’t tell us much about the smartwatch – the tips just cover general advice for all Galaxy Watch models – but it’s more evidence that a cheaper version of the wearable is indeed on the way.
According torecent leaks, the next Samsung Unpacked event is going to be held on Wednesday, July 10. As well as the Galaxy Watch FE, theGalaxy Watch 7, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra, we’re also anticipating new foldables and wireless earbuds.
What to expect
We don’t have too many clues when it comes to what to expect from the Galaxy Watch FE – a lot of leaks have simply been indicating thatit’s on the way– but given that FE (Fan Edition) moniker, it’s almost certainly goingto be a cheaper variantof the watch.
There hasbeen some debateover the name of this cut-price wearable device, with certain sources suggesting it’ll be called the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024) – but now most of the signs point to this being called the Galaxy Watch FE.
We shouldsee Wear OS 5 arriveat around the same time as the next batch of Galaxy Watch models too, so there will be new software features to try out and make the most of, as well as new hardware devices to choose between.
