Samsung’s upcoming Watch 6 Pro reported to feature a rotating bezel

Samsung is working on the successor to its Wear OS-powered Galaxy Watch 5 lineup.

While we already know quite a lot about the upcoming watch series through leaks and rumours, it is still unclear how many models of the watch Samsung will release and what they will be called.

The confusion surrounding the branding of the Galaxy Watch 6 family can be traced back to Samsung’s decision to remove the rotating bezel feature from the Watch 5 lineup. To differentiate the top-of-the-line member of the family from the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, Samsung opted for the Watch 5 Pro name.

Rumours from March suggested that the rotating bezel is making a comeback with the Watch 6 series. The watch, according to the rumour, will be named Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Now, new rumours suggest that the rotating bezel feature may return in a ‘Galaxy Watch 6 Pro’ device. According to Ice Universe, a reliable source of Samsung leaks, the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro will have an overall design that’s similar to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic but with a narrower border, via PhoneArena.

Ice Universe didn’t share any information about the regular Galaxy Watch 6. However, there may not be a radical redesign with the Watch 6 since the Watch 5 wasn’t too different from the Watch 4. Further, the upcoming watch could hit the market with a brand new smartwatch chip known as the Samsung Exynos W980.

The Watch 6 series is expected to be released alongside the company’s new foldables sometime in August.

Galaxy Watch 6 expected to feature larger battery this year

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 is expected to launch in the latter half of the year, so it makes sense that the South Korean company is starting to prepare for its arrival. Part of this process includes ensuring the device’s components are certified by regulators.

GalaxyClub spotted that South Korean regulators have certified two power cells that will likely be available in the Galaxy Watch 6. The certification indicates that there will be two watch models, one with a 40mm base and a slighter 44mm base. The certification filing also features two model numbers, ‘SM-R93x’ and ‘SM-R94x.’

The image shows a 300mAh battery for the smaller watch, with the larger device sporting a 425mAh cell. This is compared to the 285mAh battery in the 40mm Galaxy Watch 5 and the 410mAh cell in the 44mm variant.

According to a previous leak, the Galaxy Watch 6 is rumoured to feature a curved glass design similar to the Apple Watch Series 8’s display. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 series released on August 26th, 2022.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 rumoured to feature curved glass design

Samsung looks to be returning to a curved glass design for its upcoming Galaxy Watch, according to a well-known leaker.

The prolific leaker, Ice Universe, tweeted that the Galaxy Watch 6 will return to a curved glass design. However, Ice Universe states that there isn’t “much other” information about the watch’s design.

The Galaxy Watch 5 and 4 both offered a flat glass display in comparison. However, the company did use a curved glass display on the Galaxy Watch Active 2, a device that Samsung launched way back in 2019.

Competitor-wise, Google’s Pixel Watch has a curved glass dome display. That said, Samsung may use Apple’s strategy, as its Watch 8 series has curved glass. Apple uses its glass to hide its bezels, and Samsung does the same technique on its smartphones, so it’d make sense that Galaxy Watch 6 would follow suit.

It’s unclear when Samsung will unveil its Galaxy Watch 6 series, but it’ll likely come alongside the company’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.
