Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 might arrive with an all-new processor

Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Watch could hit the market with a brand new smartwatch chip, according to SamMobile. The new system-on-chip (SoC) is reportedly known as the Samsung Exynos W980.

Other details about the new chip include a 5nm fabrication process, and over 10 percent faster speeds than the previous generation.

The chip would serve as the successor to the Galaxy Watch 4‘s Exynos W920 from 2021. Last year, the Galaxy Watch 5 launched without a processor upgrade.

If this report proves true, it will be good news for Google’s Wear OS ecosystem. Android smartwatches are notorious for their less-than-speedy silicon, especially when compared to the Apple Watch.

The Galaxy Watch 6 is rumoured to launch this summer alongside the latest foldable smartphones offerings from the South Korean company.

Samsung looking to visually improve its watches with the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6

The Samsung Galaxy Watch series is notorious for both its beauty and quality, but why stop improving?

There’s speculation that the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 will see some serious visual improvements, including a larger display and slimmer bezels.

According to the well-known Samsung leaker Ice Universe, Samsung is rumoured to increase the Galaxy Watch 6’s dial to 1.47 inches while improving its resolution.

The South Korean tech giant is known for following trends towards increasing screen sizes, more notably with its phone line. Both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ did something similar to what Samsung is now looking to do with its watches – size up and slim down.

Samsung looks to be considering taking a page out of Apple’s playbook, with the Apple Watch Series 7 line shrinking its bezels by 40 percent. They also increased the watch’s display size by 20 percent, setting the bar high for the ideal smartwatch appearance.

Some are having mixed reviews about the alleged decision to focus on visual improvements, with reports of a larger screen with higher resolution potentially affecting the Galaxy Watch 6’s battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is expected to be officially revealed this coming August. In the meantime, Ice Universe provided a comparison showing what the difference in bezel size might look like.

The tweet has since been deleted.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 rumoured to offer less battery than predecessor

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 series will reportedly be available in four models this year, adding another version to last year’s Galaxy Watch 5 lineup. SamMobile reports that the Chinese regulatory board has published the listings for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 series.

  • The listing includes model and battery sizes:
  • Galaxy Watch 6 40mm: 300mAh
  • Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 42mm: 300mAh
  • Galaxy Watch 6 44mm: 425mAh
  • Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 46mm: 425mAh

The ‘Classic’ model will reportedly bring back the rotating bezel and is slightly larger than the standard smartwatch.

Oddly this is a downgrade from the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which featured a 590mAh battery. Though out of the ordinary, we have seen Samsung lower the megapixels of some of its smartphone cameras in the past.

Samsung will likely reveal its Galaxy Watch 6 series this coming August.

Leaks suggest Samsung is bringing back the rotating bezel with Galaxy Watch 6

Samsung skipped on the ‘Classic’ watch variant with the latest Galaxy Watch 5, and instead went with a Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro.

The absence of the ‘Classic’ variant was also marked with the absence of a rotating bezel on the Pro model of the Watch 5.

Now, it appears as though Samsung is looking to bring the rotating bezel back with the upcoming Watch 6 series.

As reported by SamMobile, Korean tipster SuperRoader, who has shared accurate leaks on several occasions in the past, said that Samsung plans to bring back the rotating bezel with the Galaxy Watch 6 series in a new YouTube video.

The leak suggests that the new watch Watch 6 series will have a regular and a classic variant, with the latter sporting a rotating bezel. The regular Watch 6, on the other hand, will have a regular digital bezel.

SuperRoader also said that Samsung will be releasing four new watch models this year, namely the Galaxy Watch 6 40mm, Galaxy Watch 6 44mm, the Galaxy Watch Classic 42mm and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 46mm.

Further, GalaxyClub was able to spot the batteries of the upcoming Watch 6 series and corroborated that the regular watch will come in 40mm and 4mm sizes while the classic watch would be available in 42mm and 46mm sizes.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro ran on a 590mAh battery, while the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is rumoured to run on a 300mAh cell. The smaller battery size also adds credence to the rumour that Samsung is skipping the Pro variant and is going with a Classic model for the Watch 6 series.
