Samsung briefly put up support pages for
the upcoming Galaxy Watch 3 on its South Korean website and subsequently pulled
them. The only information the pages contained was the model number of the
device - four in this case. The SM-R840NZKAKOO/SM-R840NZSAKOO - which refer to
the 41mm model - and SM-R850NZDAKOO/SM-R850NZSAKOO - the 45mm. These are the
non-cellular variants of the upcoming smartwatch, the cellular models have the
SM-R845 and SM-R855 model numbers.
However we do know some of the specs, courtesy
of the Galaxy Watch 3's certification with Thailand's NBTC. The case will be
covered with Gorilla Glass XD and will have 5ATM water-resistance and cover
some of the MIL-STD 810G certification for added durability.
Both the 41mm and 45mm will have LTE
variants and all models will have GPS. Naturally the Galaxy Watch 3 will have a
heart-rate monitor, and it's very likely it will also have blood pressure
monitoring. There's a rumored Titanium model as well.
A recent rumor suggested that Samsung will
hold an event for the Galaxy Note20 series and the Galaxy Fold 2 on August 5,
there's a good chance the Galaxy Watch 3 will make its official appearance
alongside those.
