This summer, Samsung has prepared a long list of versions for its traditional Unpackedsome as anticipated as its Galaxy Ring smart ring or the Galaxy Watch 7 smart watch, about which we have already heard rumors that it would be the first to integrate a sensor to measure blood sugar.
But apparently, Samsung’s smartwatch will not arrive alone: after speculating about a possible Pro model, everything now points to the opposite, towards the presentation of a cheaper smartwatch in its range. Are we facing the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE?
Cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch Support Website Now Live
In fact, it is not the first time that this possibility has been speculated, but in the last few hours the media MySmartPrice has revealed the existence of a support page for a mysterious Galaxy Watch with the identification code SM -R861 both on the web of in the United Kingdom as well as in the Latin American company of the Korean firm, which would confirm that indeed, Samsung’s smartwatch family is growing this year.
Samsung’s support page leaves no doubt: there will be a new device for the wrist
The existence of this cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch has already appeared in the FCC and now with the activation of its support page, we can expect its imminent launch. Of course, this website unfortunately doesn’t offer any additional information beyond the model number itself. In fact, according to the FCC listing, we only know that this version of the Galaxy Watch It will only support Bluetooth connectivity, so we can forget about the LTE variant.
Samsung Galaxy Watch FE or a reissue of the Galaxy Watch 4? Although continuing with the nomenclature chosen by the Korean firm, we would expect the last name “FE” for this more affordable version, some opt for a reissue of the popular Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 for a question of codes: the fourth generation series It ended with R860, so it is possible that this is the base model and implements a new feature.
Launching a re-release of a model three years late may not seem very attractive, but it would not be the first time that Samsung has done it, such as the renewal of the Tab S6 Lite (2024) tablet. Of course, there is also the possibility that Samsung’s cheap smartwatch will be called Galaxy Watch FE and these references to the fourth generation only indicate that we are dealing with a new image of the Galaxy Watch 4 with updated software. We’ll have to wait a few weeks to dispel doubts, until Unpacked on July 10.
