Apparently, the &#8220;idea is being enthusiastically considered internally and the change is very likely to happen&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The report is lacking in other details, and there is no clarity on whether we could see this change in the Galaxy Watch 7 series by the end of this year<\/strong> or wait for future models. If Samsung had planned such a drastic design change for its Galaxy Watch 2024 lineup, it would have already leaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the lack of rumors, let&#8217;s stay calm about the possibility of the Galaxy Watch 7 coming with a square screen, no matter how much we may want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
