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.

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.
