The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 support pages are up, tipping an earlier release date
A mysterious device codenamed as model number SM-R850 has appeared on Samsung's support pages already, followed by Q&A how to pair it with the Samsung Galaxy Buds+. It's followed by another model, SM-R845F, and about the only number missing is the SM-R840 which, surprise, surprise, was already leaked and revealed in a full press render to be the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3.
That's right, the support pages for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch successor have been prematurely posted, as MySmartPrice found out, indicating that Samsung probably won't wait for its August 5th Unpacked 2020 event to announce the wearable, despite that this is the date it shows on the leaked press renders.
The latest rumors are for July 8 presser from Samsung, followed by a Galaxy Watch 3 release date of July 22. This makes more sense than overstuffing the Unpacked agenda with four phones, tablets, and, potentially, new true wireless hearables.
As to why so many model numbers, well, the Galaxy Watch 3 is expected to land in no less than nine versions with the following specs, features, and prices:
- Galaxy Watch 3 sizes and display specs: 1.4" (45mm), 1.2" (41mm) HOP OLED (LTPO) screens
