We know a lot about the Galaxy Watch 8 series already, but a new leak is now baring all, with full specs and details around all three new smartwatches, including the higher prices.

Dealabs reports that Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series – comprised of Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025) – will include a few key upgrades, such as jumping to 64GB of storage across the higher end models, as well as seeing the Exynos W1000 chipset used across the board. The base Galaxy Watch 8 will stick at 32GB of storage, while Classic and Ultra will be doubled to 64GB.

The report goes on to detail the full specs, as embedded below, and also notes that Galaxy Watch 8 (which comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes) will have a silicone band, Watch 8 Classic will have a “Premium Hybrid Strap,” and Watch Ultra (2025) will have an “Extreme Sport Bracelet.” In other words, Classic will have a partially leather, partially silicone or rubber design, while Watch Ultra will have the same band as last year’s model, though in a new color. Another notable detail is that Galaxy Watch 8 Classic doesn’t have LTE on all variants like the Ultra does.

Meanwhile, the report also backs up prior rumors of price changes by revealing the pricing in France. Galaxy Watch 8 will apparently see a price hike just shy of 20%. Watch 8 Classic will also be around 20% more expensive compared to the larger Watch 6 Classic, while Watch Ultra (2025) will be the same price as its predecessor.
