The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is set to bring
back the rotating bezel after the Active models swapped it out for a capacitive
version. We saw that in photos for the certification process, now new photos
have surfaced and they a powered-on watch.
As you can see the UI hasn’t changed much
and it is still heavily reliant on the rotating bezel to scroll through the
menus, the list of recent apps and other portions of the UI. The watch is
expected to come out with the new Tizen 5.5 OS, which is currently on its
second public milestone
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 will come in
two sizes – 41 mm and 45 mm, aka SM-R840 and SM-R850. These will have 1.2” and
1.4” screens, respectively, and will be both IP68 and MIL-STD-810G rated. The
watch will pack 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB storage (which chipset will be used is
unknown). The two sizes will also have LTE versions (R845 and R855).
We expect Samsung to announce the new
smartwatch along with the Buds Live TWS (the beans) next month.
