Last month, we learned that Samsung will be skipping the Galaxy Watch 5 Classic this year and will instead launch a Pro model. However, the brand didn’t officially confirm this. Today, the codename of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series has emerged on the Internet confirming the existence of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

The codenames of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 series were discovered by GalaxyClub. The smartwatch has three different codenames that are, “Heart-S“, “Heart-L“, and “Heart Pro.”

It is said that the Heart-S codename is associated with the compact model (SM-R90x) of the Galaxy Watch 5 having a size of 40 or 42mm. The Heart-L is associated with the mid variant (SM-R91x) of the watch having 44mm or 46mm size.

Lastly, the Heart-Pro is associated with the bigger (SM-R92x) model i.e. the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (or could be called the Galaxy Watch 5 Ultra). The size of the Pro/Ultra is unknown but the footprint of the smartwatch will be bigger than normal sizes.

Previously, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 or the Heart-S’ battery capacity was revealed. The smartwatch is said to come with a bigger battery of 276mAh. This is slightly bigger than 247mAh inside the 40mm Galaxy Watch 4.

On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro i.e. the Heart-Pro will pack a 572mAh battery, which will be way bigger than the 361mAh cell present inside the 44mm Galaxy Watch 4.

The post Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series codenames emerge: Galaxy Watch 5 Pro confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Rumors for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series have been increasing lately. As per leaks, we expect this year’s Watch 5 lineup to have three models – Watch 5, Watch 5 Classic, and Watch 5 Pro. However, a new report from SamMobile reveals that the company will scrap the Classic model.

Last year, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic were great smartwatches targeted at two different sets of audiences. The Watch 4 was more appealing to the younger crowd of the group, while the Watch 4 Classic was for the users on the other side of the spectrum. Now, unfortunately, the Classic is moving out from Samsung’s portfolio to give space to the Pro model.

So this year, we’ll only see the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro. We know that the Pro will come in only one size, which will be bigger than the vanilla Watch 5. The vanilla Watch 5 is expected to have two dial sizes – 40mm and 44mm. There’s no confirmation if there will be a rotatable bezel on the forthcoming watches.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will carry the model number SM-R925 and have a big 572mAh battery as opposed to the 361mh cell present inside the Galaxy Watch 4. The vanilla Watch 5 with a 40mm dial is expected to pack a smaller 276mAh cell, whereas, the 44mm version will get a 361mAh cell.

Apart from the battery, a recent report revealed that the Watch 5 series will have a circular OLED display and will come with features like GPS and a heart rate monitor. The Watch is also expected to come with a body composition sensor, the same as the Galaxy Watch 4. Both the Watch 5 models will boot on One UI Watch on top of Wear OS 3.

The report suggests that the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will carry the model number SM-R925. It is tipped to come with a big 572mAh battery, as opposed to the 361mAh on the Galaxy Watch 4.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’s large battery leads us to believe that it may have a bigger size However, the size of this year’s Watch 5 has been revealed to be 40mm and 44mm by the prior report. It could be that only the Pro model will have a bigger size, but we aren’t sure about the exact size as of now.

Apart from the battery and size, the Watch 5 Pro will have Google’s Wear OS. Some Watch 4 users had previously complained about the battery life of the smartwatch, and it appears to change with this Pro model.

The details for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are scarce as of now. Also, this is the first time we are hearing about the Pro model and the company hasn’t officially confirmed anything. That said, do take the above information with a grain of salt.
