14 DAY TRIAL // We’re only a few days away from the moment when Samsung will officially take the wraps off the new-generation Galaxy Watch, and the closer we get to this highly anticipated event, the more information makes its way online.
This time, the folks over at 91mobiles have published renders of the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, a more rugged version of the device that’s supposed to be extra durable and come with some exclusive capabilities.
Based on these renders, the lineup will come in five different colors, though the design doesn’t seem to be much different from the previous-generation Galaxy Watch.
Needless to say, the new series will come with several hardware upgrades, including larger batteries.
For instance, it’s believed that the Galaxy Watch 5 will have a 276 mAh unit, whereas its predecessor uses a 247 mAh battery. A similar upgrade will happen on the Classic version as well, while people familiar with the matter suggested that the Pro could come with a massive 572 mAh battery.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll offer insane battery life, though it’s expected to still add a day or two over the standard version of the watch. But given the Pro will pack more capabilities, a larger battery is obviously required as well.
Evidence found online suggested that the new devices would also support 10W charging, which is obviously good news given, well, this is a gadget that’s supposed to stay on the wrist all the time. The current models use 5W, so overall, the charging should be twice as fast as on the Galaxy Watch 4.
But given the larger batteries, the final time required to go from 0 to 100 percent could be pretty much the same.
The new models will be announced in August, with the sales to kick off later the same month.
