Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic isn't all sunshine and rainbows
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic | Image credit: @OnLeaks & SammyGuru The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic has been the subject of several leaks already, even though Samsung is unlikely to launch the smartwatch until July. After several high-resolution renders showing the wearable device from various angles leaked earlier this week, a new report now spills information about its fine folks at Android Authority have found evidence that Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic isn't going to provide customers with upgrades across the board. Deep buried in the One UI 8 Watch's code sits a string that sheds light on the chipset Samsung plans to pack inside the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. According to the code lines in the not yet released One UI 8 Watch update, the Galaxy Watch 8 series will be equipped with Samsung's Exynos W1000, the same chipset that the South Korean company used for the Galaxy Watch 7 family. In addition to the chipset that will power Samsung's upcoming smartwatches, some of the code lines reveal their names: Fresh 8, Fresh 8 Small, and Wise 8. These are just codenames that Samsung uses internally, but the smartwatches will be launched on the market as Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. One UI 8 Watch introduces new tile previews | Screenshot credit: Android Authority The Galaxy Watch 8 is expected to come in two different sizes, as mentioned in the code lines (Fresh 8 and Fresh 8 Small). However, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic might only be available in one size: 47mm. On the bright side, Samsung fans will be able to pick from two versions: Bluetooth and using an old chipset for a new product doesn't seem to be a good idea in a day and age where everyone is trying to put the newest hardware inside their products, the large majority of customers will never know what chipset Samsung's new smartwatch packs inside because they probably don't care. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and its vanilla siblings are expected to be introduced in July alongside Samsung's new foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic leaked in full glory, design and other details revealed
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, rumoured to launch at the Galaxy Unpacked in July alongside the company's foldable smartphones, has leaked in all its glory. From the looks of it, one could say — if the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and the Galaxy Watch Ultra had a baby, this is what it would look like. Folks over at SammyGuru, in collaboration with OnLeaks, have brought the first CAD renders of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic smartwatch, giving us a detailed preview of what to expect. Source: OnLeaks x SammyGuru advertisementAccording to the report, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is said to retain the same button layout as the Watch Ultra model. However, the biggest change comes in the form of the rotating bezel, which was last seen two years ago on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Apart from this, the squircle-shaped frame does remind us of the Watch Ultra, but since the rotating bezel is making a comeback, we can't call the Watch 8 Classic a direct successor to the the past few years, Samsung seems to have alternated between its Classic and more rugged smartwatch offerings. The third and fourth generations arrived in successive years, followed by the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which took a more outdoor-focused approach. The sixth generation marked the return of the Classic, only for Samsung to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra as its seventh-generation flagship last year — a clear evolution from the Watch 5 Pro. Now, with the eighth generation, all signs point to the return of the Classic line, setting the stage for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic to take the Apart from this, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is expected to feature a 1.5-inch display — probably an AMOLED panel, just like the Galaxy Watch models from previous years. The dimensions are said to be approximately 46 x 46.5 x 14.2mm. According to a separate report by SammyGuru, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic was listed with model numbers SM-L500 (Bluetooth) and SM-L505 (LTE), suggesting there would be two variants of the upcoming smartwatch. When it comes to endurance, the Watch 8 Classic is rumoured to feature a 435mAh battery, which is bigger than the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic's 425mAh unit, but much smaller than the 590mAh battery of the Watch Ultra. The rotating bezel could be the likely reason for the smaller battery inside the Watch 8 Classic, as its inclusion will take up extra internal get to know more details about the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in the coming months, as we approach its launch. Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on Samsung's next-generation smartwatch.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic leaked renders reveal exquisite design
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic | Image credit: @OnLeaks & SammyGuru A new Classic-branded Samsung smartwatch is expected to be introduced this year after a brief 2-year hiatus. The unannounced Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is supposed to be unveiled in July alongside Samsung's new foldable flagships, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip then, several reports coming from various reliable sources paint a rather exciting picture about the new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic smartwatch. More importantly, a couple of high-resolution renders and a 360-degree video have just popped up online, providing us with a first look at Samsung's upcoming wearable the smartwatch will indeed looks exactly like in these renders, it confirms Samsung has decided to further refine and polish the design that made the Galaxy Watch Classic series so popular among Samsung fans. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic | Video credit: @OnLeaks & SammyGuru The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic adopts the same ' squircle ' form factor as the Galaxy Watch Ultra, which suggests Samsung plans to elevate the Classic series to an upper tier design-wise. The rotating bezel is making a comeback, as seen in the pictures. So are the back button, which is positioned on the opposite side of a customizable button. An orange crown sits in the middle of the two buttons, giving the smartwatch a bold look. Overall, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic borrows a lot more design perks from the Galaxy Watch Ultra rather than the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, but that's a good thing. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic | Image credit:@OnLeaks & SammyGuru According to the report, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic sizes are 'roughly' 46 x 46.5 x 14.2mm. The smartwatch is said to feature a 1.5-inch rounded display. It will be available in two versions (Bluetooth and LTE), but just one size: 47mm. In comparison, the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic was available in both 43mm and 47mm sizes. Another difference between the two-year old Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is the size of the battery. While the former is powered by a 425 mAh battery, the latter will feature a slightly bigger 435 mAh battery. It's unlikely that this will matter that much in the grand scheme of things, but at least it's an upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic renders leak — here's a first look
Come July, Samsung should have a refreshed set of its Galaxy Watches, which may include the return of the Galaxy Watch Classic that Samsung omitted from last year's lineup. Back in March, model numbers for unreleased Samsung smartwatches were revealed in leaked firmware tests. That leak hinted at either two sizes for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 or the return of the Classic. Now we have a bit of confirmation thanks to new renders from regular tipster OnLeaks who shared their images with Sammy Guru. Based on previous rumors, the new Classic model could be available in one 47mm size, similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra. According to SammyGuru, the refreshed Classic could feature a 435 mAh battery and a rotating bezel. The battery is smaller than the one in the Ultra, which may be due to the moving bezel taking up internal space. The images provided by OnLeaks make the new Classic look like a mix of the square-ish Ultra and the rounder, softer Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, otherwise known as the "squircle" shape. The display on the Watch 8 Classic should be 1.5 inches which would be the same size as the Ultra and the larger 44mm Watch 7. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Allegedly, the Classic will be roughly 46 x 46.5 x 14.2mm. It's unclear what this means for the Ultra watch as the model numbers hint at Bluetooth and LTE variants of the Classic unless the Classic is a successor to the Ultra model. It's expected that Samsung will announce its new watches alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 during its summer Galaxy Unpacked event. That launch is rumored to be taking place in early July.

Google Pixel 10 leak is a warning shot for Apple to lift its iPhone game
Google's Pixel phones have cultivated a solid reputation for their stunning camera chops. In 2025, Google might take things to the next level with the Pixel 10, edging past mainline iPhones in the process. As per a fresh leak, it seems the company's next baseline flagship will take the zoom capture prowess to newer heights. The folks over at Android Headlines (in collaboration with @OnLeaks) have shared alleged product renders of the upcoming Pixel 10, which shows a triple-lens camera array at the back. On the Pixel 10, buyers will be greeted by a dedicated telephoto zoom camera. So far, Google has only offered triple rear cameras on its flagship phones. The entry-point phones, on the other hand, have only served two lenses for regular and ultrawide capture, respectively. This isn't your usual stacked lens zoom system, though. The rectangular lens cutout suggests that we are getting a periscope-style folded lens zoom kit, similar to the Pro flagships. That means the optical zoom output is going to be on the higher side. On the Pixel 9, the lack of a dedicated zoom camera is somewhat filled in by a sensor-cropped 2x zoom capture. To further assist users with long-range shots, the camera app offers Google's 8x Super Res Zoom mode. This feature kicks into action when users are zooming deep into a frame. The image capture begins with what Google calls 'HDR+ with bracketing.' This is essentially clicking multiple photos at different exposure levels. Next, a remosaicing tool takes over the hardware-software processing pipeline. This software trick takes sensor-cropped shots at a lower resolution compared to the native camera resolution — as in delivering 12MP shots from a 48MP sensor — in order to reduce noise. All that sounds impressive, but zoom shots obtained from the main sensor are no match for what a dedicated telephoto sensor can deliver. With the Pixel 10 adding a dedicated telephoto array, users can expect more 'natural' long range shots and a higher zoom output. This is a massive upgrade, considering the price bracket of the entry-point Pixel phones. The Pixel 9, for example, started at $799 in the US, same as the iPhone 16. Both the phones offer a similar dual-camera layout. If the Pixel 10 indeed gets a dedicated zoom camera — without a price hike — Apple will have to seriously lift its game. The Galaxy S25 stands out, as it offers a dedicated zoom camera at the same asking price. However, it's the regular telephoto lens layout, and not the more powerful periscope zoom camera that the pricier Galaxy S25 Ultra or the Pixel 9 Pro bring to the table. As far as the design goes, the Pixel 10 will essentially mimic what the Pixel 9 Pro looks today, down to the chassis format and the pill-shaped camera hump at the back. It seems Google is focusing more on the meaningful upgrades than refreshing the design language this time around. Talking about hardware upgrades, it seems Google will deliver a double whammy this year. The Tensor G5 processor, as per leaks, will deliver a more powerful CPU core cluster this time. The silicon will rely on eight cores, as usual, but the core distribution is said to be more powerful this time around. For heavy-lifting, there is going to be a single Arm Cortex-X4 processing core on the chip. But unlike the Tensor G4 silicon aboard the Pixel 9 series, which offers three Arm Cortex-A720 cores for medium-intensity tasks, the Tensor G5 will reportedly feature five Cortex-A725 cores. To handle less-compute intensive tasks, the Tensor G5 might serve two Cortex-A520 cores. Theoretically, we are looking at a stronger multi-core processing output on the Pixel 10 series phones, not just because there are more powerful and efficient Arm cores, but also due to the higher number of mid-grade processing cores. On the graphics side, Google might ditch Arm's Mali GPU in favor of a unit supplied by Imagination Technologies. The rumored dual-core IMX DXT graphics engine will bring support for hardware-accelerated ray-tracing and GPU virtualization for the first time to Pixel phones. Technically, one can expect dramatic improvement in the visual quality of high-end mobile games. Furthermore, a beefier GPU will also deliver improvements in certain camera-related processes. Pixels are deemed to be the ideal choice if one aims to experience the best implementation of 'smartphone AI.' That's because Google commands the hardware accelerator stack as well as the underlying OS and the Gemini AI architecture. On the Pixel 10, the AI output is also getting a lift. The Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) on the Tensor G5 silicon will reportedly deliver a 14% boost in AI performance, going from 13 (INT8) / 6.5 (FP16) TOPS output on the Pixel 9 family to 18 (INT8) / 9 (FP16) TOPS output on the Pixel 10 series. As per the latest leak, the vanilla Pixel 10 will feature a 6.3-inch display, the same as its predecessor. If the standard Pixel 9 is anything to go by, the upcoming phone will deliver an OLED panel with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. So far, the leak mill has been silent about other aspects of the phone, though. Yet, based on what we've seen so far, the Pixel 10 is shaping up to be a terrific iterative upgrade. And if Google manages to avoid a price hike, this one is going to become the default choice for Android shoppers for a lot of reasons. Google has almost caught up with Apple at the software update longevity. Moreover, the company's work with OS-level AI implementation is far ahead of Apple. In fact, Gemini is delivering a more fulfilling experience on iPhones at this point in time than the Siri-ChatGPT bonhomie within Apple Intelligence. If Google gets the Pixel 10's pricing strategy right, it will likely emerge as one of the most well-rounded value propositions out there. I'm just hooping the buggy demons of the Pixel series' past don't raise their ugly heads once again.
