Meanwhile, we’ve recently learned that Samsung plans to bring back the “Classic” lineup of its smartwatch, so this year we’re going to have a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in addition to the traditional models.
Whether or not it’s the Classic model that will feature the innovative design that Samsung referred to during its conference call, it remains to be seen. The important thing is that Samsung is changing things up a bit, which isn’t that surprising based on previous history.

The South Korean giant changed the design of its Galaxy Watch lineup a couple of time in an attempt to take on Apple’s own smartwatch and bring a breath of fresh air to its long-time fans.
Up until now, this strategy seems to have been successful, as Samsung’s smartwatches remain as popular as they were in the past. We expect more information about the Galaxy Watch 8 models to emerge in the coming weeks since the new smartwatches are likely to be introduced in July along with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 flagships.
Unfortunately, there’s little to no information about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 flagship tablets, but that’s certainly going to change as we’re getting closer to their release date, which is probably scheduled for early fall.
In related news, Samsung continues to invest in advanced technologies like VR, XR and MR. The company said during the earnings call that it’s now exploring new products such as XR, thus confirming previous reports about Samsung’s next XR headset.
