Samsung Reportedly Considering Square Design for Next Galaxy Watch
Samsung is reportedly planning to adopt a square design for its upcoming Galaxy Watch, diverging from the circular design featured in recent models, according to SamMobile. The new design is reminiscent of older models like the Galaxy Gear, Gear 2, and Gear Live, which were popular over a decade ago.
Samsung transitioned to circular designs with the Gear S2, which introduced a rotating bezel and has been maintained in subsequent generations, including the current Galaxy Watch 5 models. The decision to return to a square shape is being seriously considered within Samsung, the report highlighted.
As Samsung contemplates reintroducing the square shape after eight years of circular designs, the challenge lies in how the company executes this shift and persuades customers accustomed to the circular design. This poses an intriguing challenge amidst the established popularity of its circular Galaxy Watch series.
It remains uncertain whether this change will debut with the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series or be postponed until a later release, possibly the 2025 Galaxy Watch 8.
