Wireless PowerShare is no longer present
When Samsung’s Galaxy Watch7 was recently revealed, people were excited to see all of the new features but failed to notice that something was missing.
User JordyV27 on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) discovered a support page revealing that neither the Galaxy Watch 7 nor the Galaxy Watch Ultra has Wireless PowerShare.
For those unfamiliar, Wireless PowerShare is a reverse charging feature that allows Samsung wearables to steal a bit of power from a Galaxy smartphone. To transfer energy, you just had to place the smartwatch directly on the back of the phone. This function was exclusive to a handful of first-party devices, but it really came in handy in a pinch.
PowerShare is gone because of the new BioActive sensor on the rear of the watches. It’s a powerful collection of sensors more accurate than the Galaxy Watch6’s hardware and provides “deeper [health] metrics.
