HD images of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 7, Buds 3 Pro have leaked. Courtesy of Evan Blass, we now have official images of Galaxy Unpacked products, two weeks ahead of the official unveiling.
Starting with the HD images of Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung has made it quite precious. It would feature Apple’s Watch Ultra-like bands, making it stand apart from the Standard and Classic variants.
The Galaxy Watch 7 continues to bring Samsung’s signature smartwatch design. It will have touchscreen bezels. The band may get upgraded with an Ultra-model feel but without dual clasp element.
The Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are also shown in all their glory. These products are also inspired by Apple’s AirPods, bringing stems and vents for multi-purpose enhancements.
Samsung has reportedly fueled the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with Mercedez-like LED light strips on stems. However, it remains to be seen whether the LED will glow in Pure White or in RGB format.
Samsung will also launch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 foldables. The former retains the same design, while the latter will have a slightly wider cover screen, making it more useful in unfolded state.
