Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch 5 series in August last year. It arrived with an infrared sensor for skin temperature measurement. Now the South Korean brand is rolling out an update that introduces a new feature on the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro models. The feature enables skin temperature-based menstrual cycle tracking for women. 

Earlier in February this year, Samsung partnered with Natural Cycles to bring the latest feature for its Galaxy Watch 5 series. Now, after getting regulatory approvals, the new feature is rolling out to all Watch 5 series models in South Korea, the US, UK, and 29 other European countries including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. The temperature-based menstrual cycle tracking feature is been progressively released via Samsung Health app updates. 

The new feature update enables accurate menstrual cycle tracking by utilizing the infrared temperature sensor on the Galaxy Watch 5 series. Users had to manually track menstrual cycles until now. Samsung explains that basal body temperature (BBT) varies by menstrual phase and it needs to be measured immediately after waking up. This can be inconvenient and also forgotten. Since the Galaxy Watch 5 series is capable of tracking sleep and its infrared temperature sensor, the new cycle tracking feature can work automatically. 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series will also be able to track ovulation and predict the beginning of the user’s next period by adding their own calendar-based cycle tracking entries. Samsung says that this data is securely encrypted and stored on the device. To use these enhanced features, users need to update the Samsung Health app to the latest version, look for ‘Predict period with skin temp’ option in the settings and enable it. Additionally, the cycle tracking feature will also evaluate self-reported symptoms and provide relevant suggestions such as relaxation techniques. 

Samsung warns that if a user takes hormonal birth control or is undergoing treatment, the newly updated feature will not be useful for tracking ovulation. Predictions may also vary depending on how the usage of the Galaxy Watch 5 by the user.

The post Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series Now Receiving Temperature-Based Menstrual Cycle Tracking Update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung‘s latest Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro are getting their second software update in a month. This comes after their August 2022 release and the updates bring stability improvements to the devices.

The Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro are the successors of the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic. They run on the One UI Watch platform and are the first to launch with Wear OS 3.5. Having to roll out two updates in quick succession for the new Galaxy smartwatches could point to inherent problems observed after their launch. Both models do not recharge as quickly as specified pre-launch and they were slightly thicker than expected. Another observed issue was the D-Buckle Sport Band that comes with the Pro model causing problems on some laptops.

The rollout of the updates indicates Samsung’s response to remedy some of the observed shortcomings in the new Galaxy smartwatches. The SM-R900 (Galaxy Watch5) and SM-R925 (LTE version of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro) will benefit from the latest update. The new update is referenced with R9xx0XXU1AVH6 and is undergoing a sequential rollout across the regions. As of this moment, the update is only available in North America. We expect Samsung to scale up the rollout within a short while to cover other continents. The update, according to Samsung, retains the July 2022 set of security patches for the devices.

The new software updates for the Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro will enhance overall system stability and reliability. It also applies new stabilization codes for watch operations but no new features are included in the latest update.

The post Samsung rolls out the second update in a month for Galaxy Watch5 & Watch5 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has finally taken the wraps off the much-awaited latest Galaxy watch models. This time around the company not only launched the Galaxy Watch 5 but also unveiled the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and the Watch 5 Golf Edition. The Galaxy Watch5 improves on features that customers use every day, while the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, the newest model in the Galaxy Watch family, is the company’s most robust and feature-rich timepiece to date.

Samsung Galaxy Watch5 – Specs & Features

The next generation of digital health monitoring is powered by Samsung’s own BioActive Sensor, which is a feature of the Galaxy Watch5. The BioActive Sensor, which debuted on the Galaxy Watch4 series, combines three potent health sensors into a single, special chip to provide comprehensive measurements that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level. These readings come from the BioActive Sensor. Additionally, users can monitor their ECG from their wrist to gain a greater understanding of their heart health.

The Galaxy Watch5 tracks health parameters with even better accuracy than Galaxy Watch4 because of its larger surface area and closer contact with your wrist. Additionally, the Galaxy Watch5 series’ other sensors, like the recently added temperature sensor, work in conjunction with its potent 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor to give consumers a comprehensive awareness of their wellness. Even when the temperature of your surroundings varies, the temperature sensor uses infrared technology for more precise readings. This creates new opportunities for both users and developers to benefit from brand-new experiences related to health and wellness.

The Galaxy Watch5 provides a full end-to-end user experience that extends beyond fitness activities to include post-workout, rest, and recovery. The Body Composition measuring tool provides a comprehensive picture of the user’s overall health, allowing them to set objectives, guide them through specific workouts, and track progress. When it’s time to relax, the Galaxy Watch5 series provides users with recovery statistics, such as post-cardio heart rate after a hard workout and personalized water consumption recommendations based on sweat loss.

The models also have Sleep Scores, which track sleep stages as well as snore detection and blood oxygen levels. Improve your sleeping habits with sophisticated Sleep Coaching, which provides a month-long guided regimen.

Through SmartThings integration, the Galaxy Watch5 automatically adjusts connected lights, AC units, and TVs to specified sleep settings. Users can rest easy knowing that the improved fall detection will notify an emergency contact if you or a loved one stumbles at home or falls out of bed.

The Galaxy Watch5 has a 13% larger battery and can track eight hours of sleep in just eight minutes, which is 30% faster than the Galaxy Watch4. The Galaxy Watch5 is protected by an extra layer of toughness. Samsung is unveiling its first smartwatch display with a Sapphire Crystal display, which has a 60% tougher outer layer and will keep your watch trustworthy in everyday use.

The smartwatch features Google Assistant voice prompts and, in the near future, Google Maps, allowing users to navigate without a smartphone connection.

Furthermore, One UI Watch4.5 provides a more complete typing experience, a more convenient way to initiate calls, and a slew of new accessibility features that make the Galaxy Watch more intuitive.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the most recent addition to the Galaxy Watch lineup. Because of its superior materials, the Watch5 Pro is up for any challenge, from hiking to cycling and beyond. It has an improved Sapphire Crystal that is more resistant to wear and tear, as well as a sturdy titanium housing with a protruded bezel design that protects the display. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also includes a brand-new D-Buckle Sport Band that combines tough sturdiness with a sleek and clean design.

The Galaxy Watch5 Pro boasts the largest battery in a Galaxy Watch. It’s 60% larger than the Galaxy Watch4, which is important for keeping up with you when you tackle a new path. Take advantage of GPX, which is now available for the first time on a Galaxy Watch. Take a hike and record and share it with other trail-lovers on the Samsung Health app with Route Workout.

You can also download hiking and cycling itineraries to help you prepare for your next race or to change your routine. With intuitive Turn-by-turn guidance, you can focus your eyes on the path and not the map as you hike or cycle. When you’re ready to go, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will alert you. When you’re ready to go home, the Track back features on the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will lead you back the way you came.

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.

The 44mm variant of the regular Galaxy Watch 5 would be available in Blue, Gray, and Silver colours, and the 44mm model is to cost €350 for the Bluetooth model and €400 for the LTE model.

The highest-end 46mm Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is to set you back at €490 for the Bluetooth variant and €540 for the LTE variant and be available in Black or Titanium Gray.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series will be available for preorders worldwide after the official Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event happening on August 10th next Wednesday. Our team will be covering launch event, so stay tuned to Gizmochina for more details on the Galaxy Watch 5 series then!

Ahead of the official launch next week, the pricing details for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro have leaked online, which indicates that the wearable devices won’t be more expensive than their predecessors.

As per the leak, the Galaxy Watch 5 will have a starting price of 349 CAD, which is around $270 for the basic 40mm model, while the 44mm model will cost 389 CAD, around $300. On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45mm will be priced at 559 CAD, which approximately converts to $435.

Previously, the European pricing of the upcoming smartwatches was leaked online. If that pricing is accurate, then the Galaxy Watch 5 40mm model with Bluetooth connectivity will cost €259.98, while the 44nm model with Bluetooth support will be priced at €286.90.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro 45nm model will be priced at €430.89. The pricing is typically on the higher side in the European market, which means that the devices will be priced a bit lower in other regions.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series has been spotted in high-quality leaked renders. The leaked images have been shared by reliable tipster Evan Blass (aka evleaks) in collaboration with publication 91Mobiles. The next-generation Galaxy Watch is set to debut at the brand’s Unpacked event on August 10th. 

The leaked renders give us a better look at the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro. From the left to right, upon a closer inspection, the first two variants have a model number SM-R920 and R925F respectively corresponding to the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Both have a 45mm dial size and a sporty watch band. 

The next three in the line are likely the regular Galaxy Watch 5 with model numbers SM-R900, SM-R905F, and SM-R910. These will be available in 40mm and 44mm dial sizes. The regular Watch 5 features silicone straps with a buckle mechanism. 

The Pro variant is seen with large bezels and is thicker (probably due to a bigger battery) compared to the standard version. All five smartwatches i.e. the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and Watch 5 feature two physical buttons on the right side and a small cutout that we assume to be a microphone. The Galaxy Watch 5 series will be water-resistant up to 5 meters.  

The Galaxy Watch 5 series will come with built-in GPS. One variant in the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (SM-R925F) and the regular Galaxy Watch 5 (SM-R905F) will come with LTE support. The Pro variant is seen in Black and Brown colour wheras the regular version is expected to be available in Rose Gold, Lavender, and Black colours.

The post Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series pricing leaks ahead of launch next month appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung’s upcoming watch 5 series is expected to launch next month at the company’s unpacked event. Ahead of the imminent launch, the Galaxy Watch 5, and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro have been spotted on Thailand’s NBTC website. The listing did not reveal any specifications for the wearables. However, thanks to leaks and rumours, we already know most of the details about the upcoming smartwatches.

As initially spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, the Galaxy Watch 5 certified by NBTC have a model code SM-R915F, whereas the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has SM-R925F. As usual, the certification authority doesn’t reveal any specifications for either of these smartwatches.

Previous reports have suggested that both models of the smartwatch will feature two physical buttons. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is expected to have a more formal look and will be priced higher than the vanilla Watch 5.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Watch 5 series on August 10 alongside the much-awaited foldable Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4. The smartwatches are likely to be available in Phantom Black, Silver, Pink Gold, and Sapphire colour options. The pricing details of the Watch 5 series have also been revealed, The series is rumoured to have a price tag of $300 for the non-LTE 40 mm Watch 5. The LTE Watch 5 Pro is said to be available for $540.

Moreover, it is reported that Samsung has ditched the fan-favourite rotating bezel and the “Classic” model this year. The company is said to have replaced the physical bezel with a digital one. Furthermore the upcoming Galaxy watches use premium materials like sapphire glass and titanium.

There are also rumours that the Watch 5 series may feature a temperature sensor and a higher-capacity battery. The South-Korean tech giant is yet to confirm any details about the upcoming watch series. We hope to see an official announcement in a few weeks.

The recent beta update of the Samsung Health App almost confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 5 will be available in two variants, a regular Galaxy Watch 5 and a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (but no classic). Interestingly, the beta update also hints that the upcoming Samsung watch 5 series might come with the long-rumored temperature sensor.

According to a screenshot shared by a Redditor, the Samsung Health app, after the beta update, started showing a toggle for “Skin temperature during sleep”. As the name suggests, this feature could be used to track the skin temperature during the sleep cycle. The temperature sensor feature comes as a surprise because it was earlier reported that Samsung is still far behind with its algorithm, and thus it’s unlikely to launch this feature with the upcoming watch.

Separately, the Health app beta update also confirmed Galaxy Watch 5 and Pro names and hinted that there will be no “Classic” this year. The references to the names were first spotted by 9to5Google. The publication shared a screenshot that shows listings for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro but no signs of the Classic model.

This isn’t the first time the Korean conglomerate has used its Health app to reveal a forthcoming product. Last year, mentions of the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic appeared in the company’s health tracking software roughly a month before their official debut.

The Galaxy Watch 5 will likely be available in 40mm and 42mm sizes, whereas the Pro is expected to come in only one size. The Pro may have a titanium body and sapphire glass. It is expected to sport a large 572mAh battery.

Samsung is yet to make any official announcements regarding the upcoming smartwatches. We expect the upcoming Galaxy watch5 series to launch sometime in August.

The post Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 might come with a Temperature sensor after all appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Samsung, for some time has been releasing two versions of its Galaxy Watch every year. This year too, the brand is expected to release two Galaxy Watch 5 models — the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Classic. But now a new report from SamMobile reveals that there could be a third model in the series, dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

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.
