While Nothing's upcoming wireless earbuds are still officially behind wraps, it looks like fans now have a good idea of what to expect (at least visually) once the company formally unveils its new products. More specifically, a set of leaked images show the new Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) designs, leaving nothing (pun somewhat intended) to the imagination.

Posting on twitter/X, tech tipster Ishan Agarwal shared several images of both earbuds. Based on the posts, it looks like the Nothing Ear will succeed the Nothing Ear (2), although interestingly enough it doesn't bear "3" in its name, at least at the moment. As for the design, it does resemble the first two Nothing Ear flagship earbuds, especially with the design and square charging case.

Meanwhile, the Nothing Ear (a) is expected to slot into Nothing's budget accessory lineup, as evidenced by the "a" branding. The leaked photo shows three different variants, one of which sports a yellow palette, which is a look previously unseen in older Nothing products. The a-model earbuds also come in a slightly smaller charging case.

As for hardware, not much is known about the new Nothing Ear model, although it's predicted that the Ear (a) might feature 45dB ANC, Dual connection, quick charging, up to 8 hours battery life and IP54 rating.

Samsung's smartwatches aren't that expensive. They're not cheap, that's for sure, but we wouldn't really call them super expensive either. But in a bid to maybe court more users into its ecosystem, a report from Android Headlines claims that a cheaper Galaxy Watch FE could be in the works.

Now, there is a bit of conflicting information here. Android Headlines claims that the device is called the Galaxy Watch FE. A post on X by Max Jambor claims that it will instead be a re-release of the Galaxy Watch 4 that was originally released back in 2021. Android Authority clarified this tweet with Jambor who claims that the 2024 Galaxy Watch 4 is basically the "FE" model, just not in name.

All this seems to suggest that this alleged Galaxy Watch FE will be based on the Galaxy Watch 4, but exactly what it will be known as remains to be seen. It's not a bad idea for Samsung to re-release the smartwatch. Apple has done something similar with the Apple Watch SE. They have also kept older models around as a cheaper alternative to their flagship models.

Either way, only time will tell how this rumor pans out. Samsung is rumored to be launching the Galaxy Watch 7 possibly this July (or later), so maybe we'll have more details then.

Ever since Samsung made the switch to Wear OS instead of Tizen for its wearables, battery life has taken quite a hit. The company did try to make up for it in the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, but for some reason went back to a smaller battery in the Galaxy Watch 6. That could change with the Galaxy Watch 7 series where it could launch with better battery life.

According to a report from Galaxy Club, the Galaxy Watch 7 could see an increase in battery life over its predecessor. Apparently it will come with the same battery capacity as the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. For context, the Watch 5 Pro has a 590mAh battery, whereas the Watch 6 series has a 425mAh battery.

We're not sure if this will result in the same amount of use time as the Watch 5 Pro. The Galaxy Watch 7 could launch in three variants where we might see the return of a Pro model. The use of a newer chipset could potentially result in more efficient energy use, thus extending its battery life even further.

Recent rumors are also claiming that Samsung could boost the memory of the watch. It could go from 16GB of storage to 32GB. This isn't a lot, but for those who download a lot of music and apps, it could be a welcome upgrade. The Galaxy Watch 7 series won't be launching anytime soon. Samsung could host a Galaxy Unpacked event this July so maybe we'll see the watches announced then.

Honor recently announced that it was launching its newest wearable - the Honor Band 9 - for select markets worldwide. Priced at £50 (or around 60-70 bucks in the US), Honor's new budget wearable packs a sleek-looking design with premium stylings, in addition to a commendable set of fitness-tracking features.

Honor didn't hold back in giving the Band 9 a fancy look and feel, and while it is made out of plastic it is designed to with a glossy metallic finish, in addition to a 1.57-inch AMOLED touchscreen which is bright enough for outdoor viewing. The Honor Band 9 also features a quick-release strap mechanism that allows users to customize their watch band.

The Band 9 also comes with around 96 workout modes consisting of everything from track and field sports to dance, water sports and ball games, in addition to all-day health monitoring including heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep quality, stress levels, and menstrual cycles. The device runs on a custom operating system, although unlike a fully-fledged platform like Wear OS for example, it can't install third-party apps.

This entire setup runs on a 180mAh battery that Honor says can last up to 14 days on a single charge. The wearable also supports magnetic charging, a much-welcome convenience at this price. It's available in Purple, Blue and Black color variants.

Last year when Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch 6 series, it was available in two variants - the base model and the Classic. But for this year's Galaxy Watch 7, the latest rumors are claiming that Samsung could actually launch three different models of the smartwatch.

Apparently there will be a Classic model, a Pro model, and then an additional model, which could be just the base model. It's actually interesting because for the Galaxy Watch 5 series, Samsung launched the base model and a Pro model. So with the Galaxy Watch 7, if the rumors are accurate, Samsung could bring the full lineup.

If that's the case, there will be plenty of options to choose from. There is another rumor, this time from @TheGalox_ on X where they claim that the Exynos W940 chipset will power the new wearables. It is said that the Exynos W940 will be more efficient, about 50% so, and 30% faster than its predecessor.

This means that users can look forward to a better-performing smartwatch with improved battery life. The Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to launch later this year, possibly alongside Samsung's new foldables. Take this with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we'll have more information later this year.
