[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The appearance of Samsung Electronics' new smartwatch, the 'Galaxy Watch3,' has been revealed through the National Radio Research Agency website. Although it is surrounded by a rotatable bezel, the display size is actually larger than its predecessor.


On the 17th, images of the Galaxy Watch3 were registered on the National Radio Research Agency homepage, which is responsible for radio certification. The Galaxy Watch3 features a rotatable bezel, two physical buttons, and sensors capable of measuring heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG).


The Galaxy Watch3 will be released in two versions: 41mm and 45mm. The watch face sizes are 1.2 inches and 1.4 inches respectively. Although the overall watch size is smaller than the previous model, the display is actually larger. It appears that the bezel was made thinner to enable a bigger screen.


With Samsung Electronics obtaining approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for ECG and blood pressure measurement functions, attention is also focused on the health measurement features of the 'Galaxy Watch3.' The Galaxy Watch3 is expected to be equipped with eight photodiodes to assist heart rate measurement, as well as sensors such as a blood pressure monitor and gyroscope capable of measuring blood pressure and ECG. Samsung plans to release the Samsung Health Monitor app with ECG and blood pressure measurement functions in the third quarter to provide these features.

The battery capacity is the same as the previous Galaxy Watch Active2. The battery is 247mAh for the 41mm model and 340mAh for the 45mm model. It is equipped with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of memory, which is an increase from the previous model, and supports IP68-rated water and dust resistance. In addition to aluminum and stainless steel models, it is expected that a new model made of titanium will be introduced this time.



Meanwhile, IT specialist media SamMobile predicted that the Galaxy Watch3 might be unveiled in July, a month earlier than the August Unpacked event. Samsung releases a smartwatch product once a year. In August 2018, Samsung unveiled the 'Galaxy Watch,' the successor to the Gear S3, alongside the Galaxy Note9, and in February 2019, it introduced the 'Galaxy Watch Active' as part of its wearable lineup with the Galaxy S10. The codename for the new Galaxy Watch product being released this time was 'Noblesse,' and the product name certified overseas is 'Galaxy Watch3.'
