New Samsung leaks are about next Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds

It looks like Samsung is solving a branding dilemma again by skipping another model name. The company's latest smartwatch was the Galaxy Watch Active 2 introduced in September, which was the successor of the Galaxy Watch Active. And that, in turn, succeeded the original Galaxy Watch. So, the expectation is the next Samsung wearable would be the Galaxy Watch 2. The presumption is the "Active" line is separate from the main Galaxy Watch line. But new leaks suggest the company is just opting to call its next smartwatch the Galaxy Watch 3 to avoid confusing it with the Galaxy Watch Active 2. (Similar to how the company skipped model numbers to launch the Galaxy S20.)

MySmartPrice saw the name surfaced on Thailand's NTBC certification site. It's the country's regulatory body that certifies devices. And then it was spotted by XDA-Developers on Samsung's app. An image asset on the Galaxy Wearable app mentions the smartwatch specifically, despite the company not confirming its name yet.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 2 codename hints at big things coming for the smartwatch

With the Galaxy Note 10 launch coming up, it’s being assumed that Samsung will be debuting a new version of the Galaxy Watch 2. The company did unveil last year’s Note and Galaxy Watch at the same event, after all. And while we haven’t heard much about the smartwatch, the supposed codename for the wearable hints at big changes coming to the Galaxy Watch 2. It goes by the name “Renaissance,” which seems fitting given that the Note 10 is being called “Da Vinci.” Perhaps the two put the focus on artistic expression, or they’re going to have better cross-functionality than usual. Or as Tech Radar points out, it could also mean the Galaxy Watch might be going through a major revamp. The word “Renaissance” can mean rebirth or revival, so this codename could hint at that. The wait to find out more about these devices shouldn’t be long though. Rumour has it Samsung will be launching the Note 10 on August 7th in New York, so we might be hearing more about these devices soon.
