Galaxy Watch 7 might support faster charging
Looks like the Galaxy Watch 7 might hop on the 15W charging train, a 50% speed boost compared to its predecessor. Samsung's latest smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic, max out at 10W charging.

Based on certification documents, it seems like one of the four Galaxy Watch 7 variants, SM-L305, is geared up to support charging at 5V and 3A, making it 15W in total. Given that different model numbers typically represent regional variants, it's probable that the other three variants, SM-L300, SM-L310, and SM-L315, will also support 15W charging.
This year, the Korean tech giant might shake things up by introducing a new, more affordable model called the Galaxy Watch 7 FE. However, according to the latest info, this model won't just lack support for 15W charging – it'll actually only support 5W, making it 50% slower than the Galaxy Watch 6.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series is set to make its debut at the next Unpacked event in early July this summer. As I mentioned earlier, while the Galaxy Watch 7 might not receive a battery increase, there could still be improvements in that area. How?
Well, one of the most exciting rumors right now is that it could be powered by a 3nm chip, the Exynos 940. This could enhance efficiency and potentially extend the battery life of the smartwatches, which is always a critical aspect of wearables. Stay tuned for more updates.
