Rumors end the week with speculation on Samsung’s supposed changes for the Galaxy Watch 8 series.<\/p>\n
Alongside tipster AssembleDebug, Android Authority<\/a> states Samsung’s early One UI<\/a> 8 code holds clues about the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 series. Specifically, the post highlights the current animation images within the software, which showcase the addition of a “Quick” button for the Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> Classic. This change reportedly takes the Classic’s physical button tally to three, like the Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n While the leaked graphics don’t show this button for the base Watch 8, the imagery highlights another significant change: an Ultra-like redesign.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n The tipster discovered that the Galaxy Watch 8 (codename “Fresh 8”) and the Watch 8 Classic (“Wise 8”) feature a squircle design similar to Samsung’s 2024 Ultra model. “Squircle” concerns a watch’s square base with a circular watch face on top. While both models reportedly sport this new shape, they’re not equal.<\/p>\n The leaked image suggests the Watch 8 could have slimmer bezels, while the Watch 8 Classic could be slightly thicker. This is something we’ve seen happen with the Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic<\/a>. Moreover, it’s unclear if Samsung has retained the rotating bezels on the Classic (though there’s hope).<\/p>\n The Galaxy Watch 8 series comes into view<\/p>\n (Image credit: Android Authority)<\/p>\n Lastly, the publication purports the 8 Classic could get an upgrade to its vibration pattern support. In short, this might make its vibrations a little stronger, furthering suspicions around a more Ultra-like model.<\/p>\n The latest leak is pretty substantial in terms of the Watch 8 series’ outlook; however, in early April, the pair reportedly showed up in SafetyKorea’s database<\/a>. Samsung was reportedly spotted passing its next series through its certification loops, which brought the existence of a pair of watches to our attention. The battery model numbers in the database were EB-BL330ABY and EB-BL505ABY for the Watch 8 and 8 Classic, respectively.<\/p>\n The reported battery size of the former is 435mAh, leaving the capacity of the other unknown for now.<\/p>\n A recent leak from earlier this week touched on the expected Gemini<\/a> integration in Wear OS, but through the eyes of One UI 8 Watch<\/a>. A teardown showed Google is preparing to bring Gemini “Actions” to its wearable software, which will likely wind up on Samsung’s next-generation watches. Several strings suggest Gemini can help users move items on their calendars, summarize emails, and more.<\/p>\n Samsung is expected to debut its Galaxy Watch 8 series during its summer Unpacked.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rA8x92xSnWTA8k4dJkeC4V.jpg\")
