Galaxy Watch FE leak sets-up a Galaxy Watch 4 rebrand
In This Article
While much of the recent Galaxy Watch speculation has centred on Samsung potentially launching a premiumApple Watch Ultrarival, it appears the company might be preparing to sneak anApple Watch SEcontender in on us too.
New purported renders posted on Twitter claim to show the design for a potential Galaxy Watch FE. The supposed leak comes little more than a month before Samsung’s next Unpacked event.

Argos is offering the 512GB Galaxy S24 Ultra for just £944.10 using the code ELEC10, which makes it cheaper than an iPhone 15 Pro.
The renders, published to the social media platform by Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) on Tuesday, show a trio of colour options which look like black, silver and rose gold.
The images are also accompanied by some purported specs from the wouldbe leaker who speaks of a 1.2-inch AMOLED display with a 396 x 396 resolution, and a device powered by an Exynos W920 dual core chip (1.18GHz) with 1.5GB of RAM.

That’s the same chip that appears on the Galaxy Watch 4 and, judging by the design and massive bezels, it could be Samsung is revamping and perhaps rebranding 2021’sGalaxy Watch 4as a Galaxy Watch FE.
According to the leaker it will have Wear OS accompanied by theSamsung One UI Watch 5, which arrived last year on theGalaxy Watch 6.
The leaker claims there’ll be a 247mAh battery that’ll last for up to 30 hours, while he also reckons there’ll be 50m of water resistance from the 5 ATM and IP68 certifications. He also reckons there’s also dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC on board.
It appears somewhat unlikely Samsung would look to debut this watch alongside its Galaxy Watch 7 range at the rumoured Unpacked event in July. Such a device would look decidedly old hat alongside the latest and greatest watches, especially if there was aGalaxy Watch Ultrainvolved.
Maybe Samsung could debut a Watch FE alongside the inevitable Galaxy S24 FE likely to go on sale at the end of the year. The Watch FE would be an entry level watch that may even retail for around the £100-£150 mark. Stay tuned.
