Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series to switch to a squircle design | Infinium-tech
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series is likely to come in a squirtal body shape, which is similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra released last year. The Galaxy Watch 8 will come in two sizes, while the watch 8 classic, which is expected to bring back the rotating bezel, will be available in only one size.
This information comes from a deep dive inside a UI 8 watch firmware for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. One of the animation files shows images that you can see below (to the left of the names, the internal codenames used for these devices are Samsung).
Interestingly, there is no reference to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, so the original can remain the top dog of the line for another year. As the above images suggest, the watch 8 series will have a squarel body, but the Galaxy Watch will maintain a spherical screen just like ultra. Therefore its divisive design is now being implemented throughout the range.
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic can also find a quick button such as the Galaxy Watch Ultra, as well as extended vibration pattern support. Unfortunately it is not clear from the data whether it will also have much awaited rotation bezel.
The Galaxy Watch 8 series will launch with a UI 8 watch, which will now bring the bar to a UI7 on a smartphone into the watches. There will also be support for the face of random clock, a battery safety feature that limits to a certain percentage charging, and a new shortcut app that will allow you to keep the apps used a few times on your watch face correctly.
