At the end of July, Samsung will introduce two new foldable devices, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, as well as new tablets Galaxy Tab S9, S9+ and S9 Ultra. However, the Korean giant also plans to launch a brand new watch series, the Galaxy Watch 6.
These will be direct successors to the current Galaxy Watch 5s, but will instead follow the same strategy as the previous Galaxy Watch 4s. Indeed, instead of a Galaxy Watch 6 and a Galaxy Watch 6 Pro, Samsung will replace this latest model with a “Classic” version. So this generation marks the return of the rotary dial, as on the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
The rotary dial looks slightly thinner than the previous generation, which will allow Samsung to use larger screens. Larger size will also lead to a use. larger capacity batterybut we don’t know the details of the datasheet at the moment.
What is certain is that the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will launch in the coming years. two colors: black and silver. The straps are very similar to the previous generation, so no changes are expected here.
Galaxy Watch 6 takes advantage of a larger screen
As for the Galaxy Watch 6, Samsung is also preparing two different sizes: 40 mm and 44 mm. However, the watch has different colors compared to the Classic version. In total, 3 colors are introduced: black, cream and gray.
Probably the biggest innovation of this generation shrinking black borders All over the plate that Samsung will allow use larger screens. We don’t know the exact size of these new panels, but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we learn more.
The good news is that these screens are probably sapphire crystal, which will make them very resistant to bumps and scratches. WinFutre is also a 5ATM waterproofwhich means you can dive up to: 50 meters deep for a period of 10 minutes.
Galaxy Watch 6 will benefit from a new Exynos processor
Although Samsung has been very cautious about the chip it uses in its smart watches in recent years, the Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic are expected to use a completely new processor. It would be an Exynos W930 SoCIt will replace the Exynos W920 used in the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5.
Various reports announced a performance increase of only about 10%, so it could be a chip with higher frequencies or finer etching. Therefore, the Galaxy Watch 6 should be slower than the next Pixel Watch 2, which is expected to come out in the fall and should use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5+ chip.
Obviously, Galaxy Watch 6 will be compatible Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3, and a model LTE will be offered as an option. Now it remains to know the full technical picture of the watches and especially their prices. Samsung had increased the prices of the Galaxy S23 at the beginning of the year, and it is not impossible for the watches to suffer from the hikes.
