Samsung is making waves in the tech world with a flurry of new releases, including the Galaxy Tab S10 series and the Galaxy S24 FE. But there’s another exciting announcement that shouldn’t be overlooked: the launch of an LTE version of the Galaxy Watch FE.
First introduced in June, the Galaxy Watch FE, or “fan edition,” has been a hit with budget-conscious consumers seeking a stylish and functional smartwatch. Now, with the addition of LTE connectivity, Samsung has taken this popular device to the next level.
The 40mm Galaxy Watch FE is packed with features designed to track your health and fitness, all at an affordable price. It boasts a sleek, comfortable design with a circular Super AMOLED display, offering crisp visuals with 396 x 396 pixels. Under the hood, it’s powered by an Exynos W920 chipset, coupled with 1.5 GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.
While the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version of the Galaxy Watch FE retails for $200, the new LTE model comes in at $250. This makes it a remarkably affordable option, significantly cheaper than the 40mm Galaxy Watch 7 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/LTE ($350) and even more so compared to the Galaxy Watch Ultra ($650).
The Galaxy Watch FE shares a lot of features with the Galaxy Watch 7, including heart rate monitoring, stress tracking, GPS, blood-oxygen calculations, and mobile payment support. However, it does not include sleep apnea monitoring and comes with a slightly smaller 247mAh battery compared to the 40mm Galaxy Watch 7’s 300mAh battery. Its Exynos W920 dual-core processor is also less powerful than the newer Exynos W1000 5-core processor found in the Galaxy Watch 7.
Available in black, silver, and pink gold, the Galaxy Watch FE is a stylish and functional smartwatch that offers an excellent value proposition. The first LTE versions are set to launch on October 3rd.
With the release of the Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, and now the LTE version of the Galaxy Watch FE, Samsung is clearly committed to providing consumers with innovative and accessible technology across various product lines.
