- Samsung might opt for a square-shaped design for its future smartwatches.
- This idea is being discussed internally, and it’s reportedly getting a positive push.
- Samsung shifted to circular designs after introducing its first Gear models with squarish designs.
It would be weird seeing a square-shaped Samsung Galaxy smartwatch but that might just be the standard design going forward. A new report suggests Samsung is contemplating square-shaped Galaxy watches, and the idea is being positively pushed forward. It’s not clear though when we’ll start seeing the new design, and if it will be from the Galaxy Watch 7 Series.
Future Samsung smartwatches to feature square design
- Samsung is discussing internally to change the design of its smartwatches to a more squarish form factor, according to a report by Sam Mobile. This change in design is also “very much on the cards” so we might just start seeing squarish Galaxy watches soon.
- Samsung has so far launched circular Galaxy watches except for the first few models. The Galaxy Gear, Gear 2 and Gear Live came with squarish designs as opposed to the current circular style.
- It’s going to be an interesting shift though for Samsung as it has for a long time stuck to the circular design. There might be a comparison made with the Apple Watch too, which has a square design.
There’s no word yet on when the new square Galaxy watches will debut. Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch 6 series last year alongside its new foldables. The new Galaxy Watch 7 series is expected to debut later this year at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. If we are indeed getting a new design, then we should start seeing renders soon.
Samsung also upgraded its fitness band this time with the Galaxy Fit 3. This fitness band now looks more like a smartwatch with its bigger 1.6-inch display. It also comes with up to 13 days of battery life, various health modes, a 5ATM rating and IP68 for dust and water resistance.
