Samsung's big summer event, Unpacked, is right around the corner, but that hasn't stopped leaks from hitting the web in the meantime. The latest leak claims to have the specs for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra smartwatches, which are expected to debut at the Paris event.
The specs were leaked by a French website, Dealabs Magazine, and detailed what will come out in France. Mostly, it appears this might affect what color of the band the smartwatches feature, but otherwise, expect US versions of the watches to be the same.
Interestingly, Dealabs claims that the Galaxy Watch 7 will not have a price increase in France. The Galaxy Watch 6 debuted at $299 and $329 for the 40mm and 44mm sizes, respectively. Hopefully, this means that globally, the Galaxy Watch 7 price will match the Watch 6 numbers.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7
From the specs, it looks like there will be four variants of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.
The new watch comes in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm, which is the diameter of the watch face. Depending on configuration, both sizes will be available with Bluetooth connectivity only or with Bluetooth and 4G connectivity.
The 40mm size will launch in Green and Cream colorways, while the 44mm versions will choose Green or Silver.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is the new smartwatch on the block from Samsung and looks poised to compete directly with the Apple Watch Ultra.
Unlike the Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will only come in one version with some colorway variants. The watch features a 47mm face with Bluetooth and 4G connectivity.
Despite seeing the Watch Ultra with an orange band in various leaked images, the French site claims that the orange band will not be available in France. We haven't seen any reports of the colors being locked to specific regions. Outside of the orange band, the watch is expected to debut in Titanium Gray, Titanium Silver or Titanium White.
Other than the larger face and battery, for the most part, the Ultra watch looks to be pretty similar to the Watch 7. The Watch Ultra is also made from titanium, unlike the aluminum alloy in the Watch 7.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to have a launch price of around $700.
