Model numbers of the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE have appeared online, indicating a potential imminent launch, according to reports.
Allegedly, the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is set to debut in the US, South Korea, and various global markets.
According to a recent report, Samsung is gearing up to unveil the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE, a ‘Fan Edition’ variant of its Galaxy Watch smartwatch lineup. This new version is expected to utilize Google’s Wear OS operating system and offer similar specifications to an older Galaxy Watch model, but at a more affordable price point. Anticipated to hit the market before July, the Galaxy Watch FE could be launched alongside the Galaxy Watch 7 series.
The purported Galaxy Watch FE has been spotted in an IMEI database with three model numbers: SM-R866F for the global variant, SM-R866U for the US market, and SM-R866N for the South Korean market. Reports suggest that the Galaxy Watch FE will be priced competitively to appeal to budget-conscious consumers.
Interestingly, the model number of the Galaxy Watch FE, SM-R866F, closely resembles that of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 launched in August 2021 (SM-R860F). This similarity hints at the possibility of the Galaxy Watch FE being an affordable alternative, running Wear OS and equipped with the Exynos W920 chip.
Information regarding the rumored Galaxy Watch FE, such as its hardware specs and pricing, has not yet been revealed online. It is anticipated to be Samsung’s entry-level wearable device, running Wear OS and adopting the design elements of the Galaxy Watch 4. This approach is akin to Apple’s strategy with its Watch SE models, which provide a scaled-down feature set at a more accessible price point.
Samsung has not officially announced any intentions to release a new model of the Galaxy Watch FE. However, if such a device is in the pipeline, Samsung may unveil it in the upcoming weeks. Previous reports suggest that Samsung is gearing up to launch three models of the Galaxy Watch 7, its next-gen smartwatches, along with its next-generation foldable phones at the rumored Galaxy Unpacked event slated for July.
