The support page for the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE shows model number SM-R861 and some reports claim that the launch is imminent as well. The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is expected to be a more affordable model sharing some specs with the existing Galaxy Watch 4.

Galaxy Watch 4 was launched in 2021 with a starting price of Rs. 23,999 which is way less than Galaxy Watch 6 (Rs. 29,999). If Galaxy Watch FE is modelled along the lines of Watch 4 then it will have a similar circular shape with a rotating bezel and run WearOS with various health and fitness features.

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE is expected to compete with watches like Amazfit Cheetah, OnePlus Watch 2 and Google Pixel Watch among others. These smartwatches are priced under 25k and have various exciting features.

It is powered by Exynos W920 processor with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB storage. Health sensors include ECG, Optical heart rate sensor, sleep tracking, and more.

If the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE does come based on Galaxy Watch 4, then it might be a capable smartwatch as well.
