Although we just received some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/latest-galaxy-z-fold-flip-7-price-leak-awesome-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">awesome news<\/a> regarding Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 prices in Europe, we can&#8217;t say the same about Samsung&#8217;s upcoming wearables.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/winfuture.de\/news,151688.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WinFuture<\/a> report, the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will cost more than their predecessors. Furthermore, the report suggests that the mildly refreshed Galaxy Ultra model for 2025 will be just as expensive as its predecessor and cost more than the Watch 8 Classic.<\/p>\n<p>\nBy price, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic won&#8217;t be the top-of-the-line\n<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the standard Galaxy Watch 8, which Samsung will reportedly release for a higher price. The 40mm and 44mm variants may go on sale for \u20ac40 to \u20ac50 more than the Galaxy Watch 7. For reference, the Wi-Fi Galaxy Watch 7 40mm\/44mm debuted for \u20ac319 and \u20ac349.\n<\/p>\n<p>Next up, the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will also cost \u20ac50 more than the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic did at launch in 2023. The Watch 6 Classic debuted for \u20ac419 but could cost as much as \u20ac499 in the 47mm LTE configuration. This means the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will have a starting price of \u20ac469 and cost as much as \u20ac549.\n<\/p>\n<p>As for the Galaxy Watch Ultra re-release for 2025, oddly enough, this will be the costlier model of all three. Since it looks almost the same as the original Ultra, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/leaked-galaxy-watch-8-and-ultra-2-renders-leave-nothing-to-the-imagination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apart from color changes<\/a>, early rumors assumed that it would be re-released for a lower price than the original 2024 Ultra.\n<\/p>\n<p>But according to WinFuture&#8217;s sources, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, a.k.a. Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), will go on sale in Europe for the same price as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/samsung\/galaxy-watch-ultra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original model<\/a>, or \u20ac699. This will make it more expensive than the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no information on whether Samsung will continue to sell the 2024 Ultra after Unpacked, but if it will, it stands to reason that it will be cheaper. However, keeping the original Ultra on store shelves would add confusion to Samsung&#8217;s smartwatch lineup, so chances are high that the 2024 Ultra will be retired next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z7 foldable phone series and the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup at Unpacked next&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[299,1685,76222,87605,88731,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-224732","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-europe","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-galaxy-watch-8","11":"tag-galaxy-watch-8-classic","12":"tag-galaxy-watch-ultra-2","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114768280590961065","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
