- Samsung is adding an LTE option to its budget-priced Galaxy Watch FE.
- The LTE-connected smartwatch is priced at $249.99, or $50 more than the Wi-Fi edition
- Launched earlier this year, the Galaxy Watch FE is based heavily on the Galaxy Watch 4.
Today’s the day when Samsung’s latest “Fan Edition” smartphone goes official, but the new Galaxy S24 FE isn’t the only FE model taking the spotlight. Earlier this year, Samsung expanded its wearable lineup with the addition of the affordably positioned Galaxy Watch FE. At its launch event this morning, Samsung is sharing a little bit about what’s next for this hardware, as well as announcing a new LTE edition.
The Galaxy Watch FE, if you’re not familiar with it, emerged a few months back as a lower priced alternative to the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. And while the name might have you thinking that this follows the same design principles as Samsung’s FE phones — a few downgrades from the flagships, but still recent, powerful hardware — we ended up discovering that the Watch FE is for all intents and practices a rebranded and refreshed Galaxy Watch 4.
