Samsung Galaxy Watch FE Support Pages Go Live, Launch Imminent

Samsung appears to be gearing up to launch a new affordable version of its Galaxy Watch, as indicated by a series of recent leaks and support pages that have surfaced online. The new model, identified by the model number SM-R861, has been spotted on Samsung's UK and Latin America websites. This suggests that the new device will join the Galaxy Watch lineup, potentially under the name Galaxy Watch FE. However, there is some speculation that it could also be branded as the Galaxy Watch 4 (2024).

The new watch is anticipated to support 5W wireless charging and will likely be available in several markets, including the US, South Korea, and other global regions. Despite the leaks, the final name and specific details of the smartwatch remain unconfirmed by Samsung. The model has also received regulatory certification, adding to the anticipation of its imminent release. The Galaxy Watch FE is expected to debut at Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10, which will also feature other new devices.

The new model is expected to feature updates akin to those in the Galaxy Watch 4 series, with a focus on affordability. It is rumored to support Bluetooth connectivity exclusively. There are also indications that it might come with new fitness and health tracking features, such as "Energy Score" and advanced heart rate zone measurements. Additional details about the smartwatch, including software enhancements and pricing, are anticipated to be revealed at the launch event.
