The Galaxy Scout 3 will exist Samsung's big update to a two-year-old pattern, and with potent competition from the Apple Watch v and upcoming Apple Lookout man vi, it needs to exist packing some great hardware to get noticed. And now that hardware may have just been fully revealed.

SamMobile has managed to go a hold of the Galaxy Watch 3's spec canvas, giving us a total insight into Samsung's upcoming smartwatch. Although the name isn't certain yet (the next Samsung smartwatch could be the Milky way Watch 2 or the Galaxy Watch three), almost all of the hardware is now revealed, assuming this leak is accurate.

Samsung Galaxy Sentry 2 (Galaxy Watch three): Release date, price and news
Hither are the all-time smartwatches yous can buy

The next Galaxy Watch volition be available with either a 41mm or 45mm face, and either a stainless steel or titanium casing. All versions will take a rotating bezel like the original Galaxy Sentry, which you tin can use to navigate through the scout's menus instead of swiping and tapping. The scout will as well sport an IP68 rating, meaning information technology'll be safe to take the Galaxy Watch out in whatever weather.

You'll get either a i.2-inch display or 1.4-inch display, with the precise dimensions of the confront being 41 x 42.5 10 11.iii mm for the smaller edition and 45 x 46.two x 11.1 mm for the larger version. That makes the Watch 3 a double improvement over the original Milky way Watch; information technology's smaller in size, just with a 0.one-inch larger display. The displays will use Gorilla Glass DX, the latest Corning-made material design for smartwatches that promises extra toughness and meliorate readability of the display fifty-fifty in brilliant lite.

Inside the watches you'll detect a 247 mAh or 340 mAh bombardment. These are smaller than the Galaxy Watch just are the same size as the Galaxy Watch Agile ii, so hopefully you won't be losing any bombardment life despite the size cut. You'll also get 1GB RAM and 8GB storage, a option of GPS or LTE, and Tizen OS v.5, the newest version of Samsung's wearables operating system.

Taking a page out of the Galaxy Watch Active 2'due south book, the Galaxy Sentry 3 will feature pulse-reading, an ECG monitor and blood force per unit area monitoring. Withal, the ECG function may not be available worldwide considering the unique sensor requires carve up approval from national regulators.

It's still hard to tell how the Galaxy Sentry 3 will stack up with information technology's biggest rival: this year's Apple Sentry half-dozen. The Apple Lookout man will likely have much more than storage infinite, every bit the Apple tree Watch five starts at 32GB storage. Yet, Apple has traditionally washed poorly on battery life, then unless something large changes, we wait that Samsung'south watch will last far longer betwixt returns to the charging cradle.

Apple has yet to add slumber tracking to an Apple Scout, which Samsung already has implemented on its existing smartwatches, and therefore volition most likely add together to the Milky way Watch 3. This means the new Galaxy Picket will have an advantage on launch, but merely a temporary one, equally slumber tracking is rumored to be coming to the Apple Watch 6 and WatchOS 7, along with some mental wellness-tracking tools.

We're expecting a price of around $400 for the new Milky way Sentinel, which volition be a lilliputian more the original model just still cheaper than the equivalent Apple Watch. That'due south certainly a skilful advantage for Samsung to have, but information technology'll have to improve its storage and software options before it tin can be considered a proper victor over Apple tree's smartwatch.

The Galaxy Watch 3 is likely going to appear at a Samsung Galaxy Unpacked outcome in August, where nosotros'll see the long-awaited debut of the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2. The Apple Spotter 6 will likely appear the month after in September alongside the iPhone 12, pregnant that we'll see Apple's response to these specs very rapidly after Samsung's launch.
