New Galaxy watches get important certification ahead of Unpacked event

What may be one of the busiest Galaxy Unpacked events in a long time is set to take place in Paris in aroud three weeks. Samsung will unveil two new foldables, two wireless earbuds, two smarwatches, and its first-gen smart ring at this event, and some products may go up for pre-reservation as soon as June 26.

For smartwatch lovers, Samsung is adding the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra to its merry band of Wear OS-powered watches. And it appears the company is cutting it close with all the certifications it needs to start selling the new devices.

Galaxy Watch 7 3C certification contradicts information gained from its FCC certification

This week, Samsung was granted the China Compulsory Certification (3C) in, well, China. As always, 3C lists some charging information for the upcoming devices, and this information contradicts what was reported by the FCC.

The FCC listed the Galaxy Watch 7 with 15W charging support, while the 3C tests were carried out using a 10W charger. This doesn't mean the FCC was wrong. Rather, it suggests that the 15W charger could be an optional purchase and the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra will come with the old 10W charger in the box.

We will have to wait for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra to go official to find out which—if any—charger is bundled in the box. In the meantime, check out the video below to learn about some of the best Samsung ecosystem features.
