Samsung traditionally announces a new generation of its Galaxy Watch series at an Unpacked event in August. The Galaxy Watch 6 series is also expected to go official at the same time this year. Rumors and leaks about the upcoming smart wearables seem to be gathering pace. Now a new report reveals the chipset details of the Galaxy Watch 6.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series processor tipped
SamMobile reports that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series will be powered by an upgraded processor. The chipset is expected to be the Exynos W980. It is said to be more than 10 percent faster than the Exynos W920 that is found on the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series. The new SoC on the Watch 6 series also means that Samsung will be upgrading it after two years. The processor wasn’t a part of the upgrade on the Galaxy Watch 5 models.
The Exynos W980 is yet to be announced. The chipset may be based on Samsung’s 5nm process. This could also result in better battery life.
Apart from the aforementioned information, the report does not reveal any additional details about the Galaxy Watch 6 series. Past leaks suggest that the South Korean brand’s next-generation wearables will have a bigger and high-resolution display with thin bezels. They are also rumored to pack larger batteries. A report by last month revealed that Samsung might bring back the fan-favorite rotating bezel but only for one Galaxy Watch 6 model.
