South Korean tech giant, Samsung will launch its next-generation of premium smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 5 series at the brand’s Galaxy Unpacked 2022 Event, happening next Wednesday, August 10th.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series is the successor to last year’s Galaxy Watch 4 series and will consist of two smartwatches: the standard Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
Although the upcoming smartwatches have not yet been officially teased nor have their design formally revealed by Samsung yet, we already know all the details about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 series via electronics safety certification databases and leaks online. In today’s article, here at Gizmochina, we have gathered all the info, pricing, specs and design renders that are available online so far.
Galaxy Watch 5 Series Design and Specs
Let’s start with the design, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro sport a circular screen form factor like its predecessor the Galaxy Watch 4, however this year, both the Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro will not feature the rotating bezel found on the previous generation Galaxy Watch 3 Classic and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
Colours for the Galaxy Watch 5 series can be described as suited for those who are sporting a youthful and active lifestyle. For the standard model, leaked official renders online show that the Galaxy Watch 5 will be available in four colours: Gold, Purple, Navy Green and Blue.
For the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, it is said to be available in more muted yet professional colours such as black or gray titanium. And this time around, leaks indicate that Samsung will be equipping its higher end Galaxy Watch 5 Pro with a Sapphire glass front display with a titanium built body.
As flagship smartwatches, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series are expected to arrive with exceptional durability standards as well such as an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, MIL-STD-810G for salt, shock and radiation protection.
Under the hood, we expect the Galaxy Watch 5 series to sport similar internals to the Galaxy Watch 4 series. For context, the Galaxy Watch 4 featured Samsung’s industry-leading Exynos W920 smartwatch SoC, with 1.5 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
Endurance on the hand, both the Watch 5 and 5 Pro are said to have better battery life than its predecessor. The Galaxy Watch 5 will be available with a 276 mAh for the 40mm model or a 398mAh battery for the 44mm model. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is said to offer a massive upgrade in the battery department, coming in at a 572mAh battery capacity. Notably, Samsung is also said to offer 10W fast charging support on the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which is nearly double of what’s currently offered by the Galaxy Watch 4 series.
Lastly, both watches will run Google’s latest wearOS 3.5 skinned with Samsung’s One UI Watch 4.5.
Pricing and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will be available in two size options: 40mm and 44mm, while the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro comes only with a single option – 46mm.
The Galaxy Watch 5 40mm will be available in Pink Gold, Gray, and Silver. The 40mm variant will reportedly cost €300 for the Bluetooth model and €350 for the LTE model.
