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.

Are you a big fan of Samsung and Pokemon? Well, we have some incredible news for you! As we approach Pokemon Day on February 27, which celebrates the release of the groundbreaking Pokemon Red and Green video games in Japan in 1996, Samsung has just announced that it will be re-releasing some of its most beloved Pokemon-themed accessories.

Samsung has announced the return of three popular Pokemon-themed accessories. These include a watch band for the Galaxy Watch 5 series, a phone case for the Galaxy Z Flip 4, and a unique Poké Ball-shaped case for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. While these accessories are currently listed on Samsung’s website, they will not be available for purchase until February 27, which coincides with Pokemon Day.

The most eye-catching of the bunch is definitely the Poké Ball-shaped case for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. They have made a comeback after becoming a fan-favorite in last year’s Pokémon accessory release which featured the same Poké Ball for the Galaxy Buds Pro. The protective case on the other hand features the iconic starter trio from Pokemon Gen 1 (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in addition to the face of the franchise – Pikachu. It goes without saying that Samsung kind of missed an opportunity to make the Galaxy Z Flip 4 case look more like a Pokédex, but this case also looks quite cool.

Due to the immense popularity of these Pokemon-themed accessories, they sold out in less than a day last year, leaving many fans disappointed. With the popularity of these accessories, it is hard to predict how long they will be in stock this time around. Therefore, it is highly recommended that fans act fast to get their hands on these limited-edition items.

Samsung is rolling out a new software update for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series. These include the ability to record 360 audio and an improved camera controller. The new updates will enhance the content-capturing capabilities for Galaxy users. Samsung stated that “Paired with a Galaxy smartphone, the latest wearable software updates bring users new ways to capture the world as they hear and see it. These software updates reflect Samsung’s continuous commitment to providing the most up-to-date experiences to existing devices.”

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro’s 360 audio recording allows users to record sound on video as they hear it. This is possible by pairing the TWS earphone with a Galaxy smartphone. Users can capture and record high-quality realistic audio for videos without the need for professional equipment. The feature is possible because it uses a microphone in each earbud to pick up 360-degree sound 

The 360 audio recording is said to be the first feature in the Galaxy line that utilises an advanced new Bluetooth audio standard called LE audio. It offers better audio quality, lower latency, and longer battery life. LE audio also enables binaural recording on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.  

On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 4 series gain new features in its Camera Controller app. The new update for the smartwatches adds zoom capabilities that expand the camera experience when paired with a Galaxy smartphone. Users can control the phone’s zoom camera by pinching the watch’s face or turning the rotating bezel. This eliminates the need to run back and forth to the camera to frame a picture.  

The 360 Audio Recording will be released on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Z Fold 4 through software updates starting today. The updated camera controller feature will be available on the Galaxy Watch 5, 5 Pro, Watch 4 and 4 Classic starting this February.

Samsung has released two new metal straps for the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in Korea. The two new metal straps are the Link Bracelet and the Milanese strap. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’s Link Bracelet strap is made of lightweight and durable titanium material. The Galaxy Watch 5’s new Milanese strap is made from premium stainless steel and is durable.

The D-buckle band is the basic strap of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and is more suited for outdoor activities. On the other hand, the Link Bracelet gives an analog but luxurious look to the smartwatch. It can be used as a fashion accessory with a matching suit. The button-type design makes it easy to connect the watch body and the new metal strap. The length of the strap is also adjustable with a button while the buckle uses a magnetic fastening method.

The Milanese strap can be used regularly without the fear of corrosion or contamination. The mesh structure of the stainless steel is tightly combined to give a comfortable fit and proper air circulation. A button-type design is also used for the Milanese strap together with the magnetic fastening method used for buckling.

As per pricing, the Link Bracelet for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro retails for 253,000 won (~$182) and the Milanese strap sells for 99,000 won (~$71). The price of the Milanese is the same for both variants of the Galaxy Watch 5 – the 40mm and 44mm variants. Samsung is however offering discounts for the two metal straps when purchased in November via Samsung.com.

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 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.

The post Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will have a significant price hike according to this leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 could be getting the same 5W wireless charger as its predecessors, as per a report. A Samsung 5W wireless charger reportedly appeared on the FCC certification website and it is speculated to be for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 lineup, which is expected to launch in August. The listing doesn’t reveal any other key specifications. However, a report earlier this month said that the upcoming smartwatches will feature slightly larger batteries than the previous models.

According to a report by MySmartPrice, a new Samsung 5W fast charger appeared on the FCC certification site, which could be for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 Series. The charger has been spotted on the website with model number EP-OR900 which correlates with Galaxy Watch 5 40mm model’s battery with model number EB-BR900ABY.

A Samsung charger bearing the same model number was also spotted (via Sammobile) on South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency (RRA). This all indicates that we are moving closer to the launch of the new Galaxy Watches.

As mentioned above, the previous generation watches—the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Watch 3 series came with the same 5W wireless charging speed leading to a charging time of under two hours for a full charge.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is expected to land in August. Samsung hasn’t revealed any details about the watch 5, but we already know the smartwatch will come in two sizes- 40mm and 44mm. Also, there is going to be no classic model this year. The company has replaced it with a “Pro” version.

According to previous leaks, the Galaxy Watch 5 40mm version will sport a 276mAh battery. While the larger 44mm model will come with a 397mAh battery. The upcoming watches are also said to carry Titanium and Sapphire build.

Samsung‘s upcoming devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Watch 5 have all been subject to multiple leaks. The devices are expected to make their debut in the second half of 2022, however, they have already appeared on the BIS certification website.

According to a 91mobiles report,  the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4’s battery model numbers are EB-BF936ABY and EB-BF937ABY. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip4 batteries have the model number  EB-BF721ABY, EB-BF722ABY, and EB-BF723ABY. Last but not the least, the BIS listing reveals that the Galaxy Watch 5 batteries will have EB-BR910ABY, EB-BR925ABY, and EB-BR900ABY model numbers.

The devices receiving BIS certification this early may indicate that Samsung plans to introduce them in India as soon as possible. So far, we know that the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which will be Samsung’s next foldable flagship will come with the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus SoC.

The camera sensors are also due for an upgrade and rumors suggest that the upcoming foldable will feature a 108MP primary camera and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The device will also feature a better hinge and might come with a stylus slot.

Coming to the Galaxy Flip4, the device is also expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chipset and a slightly bigger battery at around 3,400mAh. The next-gen Galaxy Watch is expected to come in three models codenamed Heart-S, Heart-L, and Heart Pro. They will operate on WearOS and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro model is expected to come with a big 572mAh battery.

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.

Samsung is gearing up to launch a new smartwatch in 2022. The upcoming watch will be the successor of the current-gen Galaxy Watch 4 series which is one of the best smart wearable devices available in the market right now.

Last week, a report emerged suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 will have a slightly bigger battery at 276mAh capacity compared to the current 247mAh battery on the Galaxy Watch 4.

Now, a new certification published by Safty Korea (via GSMArena) shows that the leaks were indeed accurate. The certifications reveal that the Galaxy Watch5 40 mm (EB-BR900ABY) will have a 276 mAh battery. On the other hand, The larger Watch5 44 mm (EB-BR910ABY) will have a 397 mAh battery, up from 361 mAh on the current generation smartwatch.

Other than that, previous rumors state that Samsung is planning to include some health-related features in the next-gen wearables. These are said to include a sensor to accurately measure the body temperature, helping users identify viral symptoms and treat colds. Although users should get a marginal increase in battery life with the new features turned off.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is expected to enter the mass production phase in the third quarter of this year. At this time, there’s no information available about the launch timeline or availability of the device, but if we are to go by the previous launches, then the upcoming smartwatches from Samsung could launch sometime around August this year.

Samsung has a lineup of smartwatches under the Galaxy brand and the current generation Galaxy Watch 4 series is one of the best smart wearable devices available in the market, but the company is now gearing up for its successor.

The next-generation Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series is still months away and while there’s not much information available about the upcoming wearable device, a new leak hints at the battery capacity of the device.

A report from SamMobile claims that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 with model number SM-R900 has appeared in a regulatory filing with its battery carrying part number EB-BR900ABY, having 276mAh capacity.

This is slightly bigger than the 247mAh battery found in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, which could mean a longer-lasting battery life for the next-generation wearables from the South Korean giant.

If the reports are to be believed, then the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series could also come with some advanced health-related features, including a sensor to accurately measure the body temperature, helping users identify viral symptoms and treat colds.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is expected to enter the mass production phase in the third quarter of this year. At this time, there’s no information available about the launch timeline or availability of the device but if we are to go by the previous launches, then the upcoming smartwatches from Samsung could launch sometime around August this year.

Samsung is considering making its Galaxy smartwatches run on solar energy. The Korean company has seemingly been toying with the idea of incorporating solar cells onto a Galaxy Watch wrist strap.

This has been uncovered via a patent filed all the way back in 2019. LetsGoDigital (via SamMobile) came across it after it got published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on September 16.

The patent shows a usual Galaxy smartwatch but with a twist – its strap has been equipped with solar cells. Although, the patent doesn’t have any indication regarding the efficiency of such an implementation.

It is worth noting that solar cells are still a long way off from being a complete substitute for traditional battery charging solutions for devices with high energy needs. As such, Samsung may only be experimenting with them as a mode of providing auxiliary power. This should not only increase the time between each charge but should also make the wearables a lot more eco-friendly.

It’s obviously too early at the moment to ascertain plans for a solar-powered Samsung Galaxy Watch. After all, the Galaxy Watch 4 series was only just unveiled. Still, it is safe to assume that the tech is indeed in the works and has perhaps been reserved for an upcoming version of the smartwatch series.

However, Samsung does intend to switch more and more devices to solar. The company recently adopted solar power for its latest QLED smart TV remotes. Further, Samsung also recently achieved 100% reusable energy at its factories in the USA, Europe, and China.

All in all, smart wearables are a great candidate for solar technology. But of course, patents are not always an indicator of something definitive and should hence always be taken with a pinch of salt. Only time will tell if the idea for a solar-powered Samsung Galaxy Watch will actually materialize.
