[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Samsung Electronics will unveil its new smartwatch 'Galaxy Watch3' and bean-shaped wireless earbuds 'Galaxy Buds X' in August.


On the 9th (local time), according to XDA Developers and GSMArena, images bearing the brand name Galaxy Watch3 and product images presumed to be Galaxy Buds X were spotted in the Samsung Wearable app. Earlier, Samsung Electronics also received certification for a smartwatch with the model name 'SM-R855F' from the Thailand National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) under the same name.


The Galaxy Watch3 will be released in 41mm and 45mm sizes, with Bluetooth+Wi-Fi and LTE models. It is known to feature a physically rotatable bezel on the watch body and a Gorilla Glass DX display. It also supports 5ATM (5 atmospheres) water resistance. With 8GB of storage and a 330mAh battery, its performance is expected to be significantly improved compared to its predecessor. It also supports blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurement functions approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

The bean-shaped new Galaxy Buds product is also expected to be unveiled at the August Unpacked event. It is highly likely to be released under the name 'Galaxy Buds X,' which Samsung recently trademarked. Recently, images of the new Buds product leaked from the wearable app that controls Galaxy Buds, confirming the imminent release.


Summarizing the rumors so far, the Galaxy Buds X may feature improved sound and added fitness functions such as distance, calorie consumption, and heart rate tracking. With the change to a bean-shaped design, wearing comfort during exercise is also expected to improve. If Samsung Electronics strengthens health measurement functions in its wireless earbuds, it will be able to differentiate itself from products like AirPods.



IT specialist media Tom's Guide explained, "Apple is preparing the Apple Watch 6, which includes features such as blood oxygen level and stress tracking, so Samsung Electronics will have to make every effort to compete with Apple."
