All he Galaxy Wa ch 5 umo s a d leaks

The Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 could be he bes Samsu g wa ch ye . We’ve see a ha dful of umo s so fa , i cludi g he possibili y of a ew P o model.

I also became he fi s sma wa ch o u Wea OS 3, a u ified pla fo m ha i eg a es a selec io of Google p og ams wi h he familia Samsu g apps.

So how will he fif h-ge e a io Galaxy Wa ch mai ai i s claim o he bes sma wa ch fo A d oid? Wi h he umo ed Google Pixel Wa ch h ea e i g o c ash he pa y, he Galaxy Wa ch 5 should a emp o i ova e he wea able ma ke . We could see ew fi ess- acki g fea u es, a upda ed desig , mo e ways o s ay co ec ed f om you w is a d mo e. 

He e’s wha we k ow so fa abou he Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5, as well as wha we’d like o see f om Samsu g’s ex sma wa ch.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 umo s (upda ed Ju e 9)

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 possible elease da e

The mos likely Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 elease da e would fall some ime i Augus 2022, if Samsu g is s icki g o i s usual p oduc schedule. While we’ e seei g he eveal of he Samsu g Galaxy S22 se ies a he Samsu g U packed key o e o Feb ua y 9 (he e’s how o wa ch Samsu g Galaxy U packed 2022), he compa y is k ow fo hos i g a seco d big eve du i g he summe .

I Augus 2021, we saw he debu of he Samsu g Galaxy Z Fold 3 a d Samsu g Galaxy Z Flip 3, wo of he bes pho es a ou d, alo g wi h he Galaxy Wa ch 4’s official a ou ceme . As such, we could see he Galaxy Wa ch 5 a ive wi h he Samsu g Galaxy Z Fold 4 o a o he foldable. 

Fu ily e ough, his is p ecisely wha leake Jo P osse has ow said. The Galaxy Wa ch 5, alo g wi h he Galaxy Z Fold 4 a d Galaxy Z Flip 4, will be evealed o Augus 10, a d go o sale o Augus 26.

Samsu g’s p oduc s a e of e leaked o eased i he weeks leadi g up o a p oduc eve . I o he wo ds, we should ge a se se of he Galaxy Wa ch 5 elease da e close o i s pla ed lau ch.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 p ice expec a io s

The Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 p ice could be he same as he Galaxy Wa ch 4’s p ice. The Galaxy Wa ch 4 s a s a $249.99 fo he 40mm Blue oo h model a d $299.99 fo he 40mm LTE model. The Galaxy Wa ch 4 Classic s a s a $349.99 fo he 42mm Blue oo h model a d $399.99 fo he 42mm LTE model.

If he Galaxy Wa ch 5 does ’ come i wo co figu a io s, we could see g ea e va ia io i he p ice. I could eve esu ec he Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 3’s o igi al $399 s a i g p ice, which mi o s he Apple Wa ch 7’s cos .

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 4 desig a d specs

We do ‘ ye k ow a huge amou abou he Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5, bu he e have bee a couple of leaks. 

The mos ece o e comes f om GalaxyClub (ope s i ew ab), which claims o have fou d code ames a d model umbe fo he umo ed h ee models of he Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5.

The smalles of hese is said o have he code ame ‘Hea -S’ a d he model umbe SM-R90X. I will epo edly comes i 40mm a d 42mm sizes, which would esse ially make i he eplaceme fo he basic Galaxy Wa ch 4. 

The seco d model is he ‘Hea -L’ — o SM-R91X. This will epo edly come i 44mm a d 46mm sizes, which would seem o fi wi h i bei g a eplaceme fo he Galaxy Wa ch 4 Classic ve sio .

The e’s also umo ed o be a P o model — of which mo e below.

Ou side of he modelsize i fo, we’ve also head a couple of umo s abou he se so s ha migh come o he Galaxy Wa ch 5. The fi s of hese, f om Ko ea si e ET News (ope s i ew ab), claims ha he Galaxy Wa ch 5 will come wi h empe a u e-se si g ech. 

The seco d of hese, f om a alys Mi g-Chi Kuo (ope s i ew ab), is ha he Galaxy Wa ch 5 will miss ou o empe a u e-se di g ech. Righ .

So, who o believe he e? Well, a his s age we have o easo o us ei he o e ove he o he . Howeve , Kuo’s easo i g is ha algo i hm limi a io s migh p eve he ech appea i g i he ew model. Give ha he has also made he same claim abou he Apple Wa ch 8 — which has also bee ipped o ge a empe a u e se so — p esumably he k ows some hi g abou he subjec . Fo ow, hough, we’ll co side his o e o be u ce ai ei he way.

The umo ed Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o has bee ipped o ea i s ‘p o’ mo ike ha ks o a i a ium a d sapphi e glass co s uc io . These poi o a wa ch ha ’s esis a o bumps, k ocks a d sc a ches wi h a p emium look, bu he eal ques io is wha his will do o p ici g. The use of p emium ma e ials could see a hef y boos i p ice, especially as we’ve see p emium ma e ials used i he Apple Wa ch a ge hike he p ice up co side ably ove he base model.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o umo s

Acco di g o o e ew umo , he e may be a Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o model. No much has bee claimed abou his model, bu i could have a huge 572 mAh ba e y. Tha ’s o o ly a ea 60% i c ease o he 361 mAh ba e y fou d i he la ge , 44mm Galaxy Wa ch 4, i ’s p e y much he bigges sma wa ch cell we’ve hea d of o da e. 

This big ba e y could o o ly ex e d he e du a ce of his claimed sma wa ch, bu also suppo a whole load o fea u es, such as measu i g blood glucose levels a d offe i g fea u es ha a e game-cha gi g fo diabe ics.

I addi io , we’ve hea d ha his umo ed Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o could wi d up eplaci g he Classic model i Samsu g’s li eup. Howeve , we do ‘ k ow if Samsu g will be keepi g he o a i g bezel o he P o. 

Tha said, a ew leak f om GalaxyClub (ope s i ew ab) has cas doub o he P o eplaci g he Classic, i s ead sugges i g i could me ely be o e of h ee Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 models. Tha si e fou d code ames a d model umbe s ha a e pu po edly fo he Wa ch 5 — a d he e a e a io of hem. 

Of hese, he P o is said o have he model umbe SM-R92X, al hough he e’s o i fo ma io i his leak abou he size.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 fea u es: Wha we wa o see

Whe he he ex Galaxy Wa ch will become he bes sma wa ch of he yea depe ds mos ly o he fea u es i will offe . He e a e a few we’d like o see ma e ialize.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5: Eve y hi g we k ow so fa

By Ch is Wedel , Michael L Hicks published 28 May 22

F om ew se so s o a umo ed Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o, he e’s how Samsu g could imp ove o las yea ‘s model.

The Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 4 has emai ed he u dispu ed champio of A d oid sma wa ches si ce i a ived las summe . I pa , ha ‘s ha ks o Samsu g’s desig a d sof wa e expe ise, bu i ‘s also because o o he Wea OS 3 wa ch has shipped i he yea si ce. By he ime he Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 ships la e his yea , he compe i io will be much mo e fie ce. 

Google will elease i s ew Pixel Wa ch a d mos of he op Wea OS wa ches will ge Wea OS 3 as soo as his summe . Bu all of hese will have o co e d wi h he Galaxy Wa ch 5, which will allegedly evamp i s p edecesso ‘s middli g ba e y life, bu dle i a ew heal h se so , a d add a b a d- ew, ul a-la ge P o model wi h p emium ma e ials.

Below, we’ll b eak dow whe we expec he Galaxy Wa ch 5 o a ive, how i ‘ll diffe f om he Galaxy Wa ch 4, a d eve y hi g else you eed o k ow.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5: Desig a d models

We’ e big fa s of he Galaxy Wa ch 4 classic, which has a mo e adi io al, s ylish look a d a useful o a i g bezel fo aviga i g h ough Wea OS. Bu ece umo s have i dica ed Samsu g will aba do i s Classic desig fo he Galaxy Wa ch 5.

A ece leak sugges ed Samsu g will sell h ee Galaxy Wa ch 5 models, code amed Hea -S, Hea -L, a d Hea -P o. The fi s wo models co espo d wi h he wo s a da d Galaxy Wa ch 4 case sizes, while he hi d P o model will have a massive ba e y a d use p emium ma e ials: sapphi e glass a d a i a ium case.

Galaxy Wa ch5 P oSapphi e glassTi a iumMay 14, 2022

I appea s all h ee wa ches will use he same capaci ive ouch bezel as he base Galaxy Wa ch 4. The Hea -S case size will likely be 40mm, while he Hea -L would fall a 44mm — bo h he same size as he Galaxy Wa ch 4 models.

We do ‘ k ow ye whe he he P o ve sio will g ow eve la ge o si a ou d he same case size as he Hea -L. Bu as we’ll discuss below, i ‘s umo ed o have a massive ba e y i c ease, which you’d assume would co espo d wi h a eve la ge case.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5: Specs a d se so s

Samsu g made some sig ifica upg ades wi h he Galaxy Wa ch 4 i e ms of bo h pe fo ma ce a d heal h se so s. Bu he e’s easo o assume he Galaxy Wa ch 5 will be mo e of a i e a ive upg ade.

Fi s , he p ocesso : while we’ve hea d o umo s o his f o , we believe i ‘ll use he same Exy os W920 chip as las yea ‘s wa ch. We’ve hea d o umo s abou Samsu g wo ki g o a ew chip, a d i used he same Exy os 9110 chip fo he fi s h ee ge e a io s of Galaxy Wa ches. Tha ‘s why we would ‘ be su p ised if i s uck o he W920 fo a o he yea o wo.

The Galaxy Wa ch 4 uses 1.5GB of RAM a d has 16GB of s o age. Give mos A d oid sma wa ches o ly have 1GB, 1.5GB is a guably ple y, a d Samsu g may s ick o he same memo y as befo e. We’ve hea d he Pixel Wa ch could use a 2GB32GB build wi h he olde 9110 chip, so i ‘s possible Samsu g will upg ade he e as well. Cu e ly, howeve , we suspec i ‘ll s ick o he s a us quo.

I s ead, Samsu g will likely i c ease he ba e y size i he Galaxy Wa ch 5. O e ba e y leak sugges ed he smalles model would have a 276mAh ba e y, ea ly 30mAh mo e ha he cell fou d i he 40mm Galaxy Wa ch 4. A d a seco d ba e y leak (ope s i ew ab) disclosed ha he la ge model would have a 391mAh ba e y, 30mAh mo e ha he Galaxy Wa ch 4 44mm.

As fo he Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o, a sepa a e ba e y capaci y leak i dica ed his model would have a 572mAh ba e y, abou he size of he ba e y i he TicWa ch P o 3 Ul a GPS. Whe e he Galaxy Wa ch 4 o ly las s a day o wo o ave age, he la ge TicWa ch co sis e ly pe sis s fo h ee days eve wi h 247 hea a e a d blood oxyge acki g. Of cou se, wi h a ba e y his size, he Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o may be jus as bulky a d heavy as he P o 3 Ul a by ecessi y.

I e ms of Galaxy Wa ch 5 se so s, we have eve y easo o believe i ‘ll e ai he same 3-i -1 BioAc ive se so wi h op ical hea a e, blood oxyge , blood p essu e, ECG, a d Bioelec ical Impeda ce A alysis. Tha ‘s al eady be e ha mos sma wa ches besides he Fi bi Se se. Bu could i add o e mo e se so ?

Back i Ma ch, we hea d he Galaxy Wa ch 5 could also eceive a i f a ed he mome e , which could be used o ack you ski empe a u e ove igh a d help o judge sleep quali y a d heal h. 

Bu ece ly, a alys Mi g-Chi Kuo claimed ha Apple ca celed he fea u e i he Apple Wa ch Se ies 7 due o difficul ies wi h ge i g he algo i hm igh , a d said he suspec s Samsu g migh o use he se so ei he due o algo i hm limi a io s. He’s o ly specula i g bu has a solid ack eco d wi h leaks.

(۳۳)Samsu g is faci g his challe ge as well. U like p evious media epo s, I hi k Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 i 2H22 migh o suppo he body empe a u e measu eme due o algo i hm limi a io s.May 1, 2022

O he wise, u less Samsu g adds a EDA se so fo s ess mo i o i g, he e is ‘ much lef ha he compa y could add. I s se so sui e is fai ly defi i ive. 

We k ow fo ce ai he Galaxy Wa ch 5 will also sha e hese ai s wi h i s p edecesso : 5ATM a d IP68 wa e dus p o ec io , MIL-STD-810G p o ec io , NFC, buil -i GPS, a d a Supe AMOLED display. Bu we’ e o he wise u ce ai wha o he imp oveme s Samsu g will make.

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5: Sof wa e

Samsu g’s ake o Wea OS 3 is a hyb id fo m of bo h Google’s Wea OS a d i s ow Tize O e UI Wa ch pla fo m, aki g eleme s of bo h. Give Google is s ill developi g Wea OS 3 i p epa a io fo a lau ch o he Pixel Wa ch a d o he Fossil a d Mobvoi wa ches, we ce ai ly should ‘ expec Samsu g o use Wea OS 4.

Tha bei g said, do ‘ assume Samsu g will s a d pa wi h i s sof wa e. I fac , he Sou h Ko ea compa y ece ly a ou ced i s fi s O e UI Wa ch be a p og am, which will kick off o Ju e 2 fo Galaxy Wa ch 4 ow e s. Jus as Google es s ew fea u es wi h i s A d oid be a eve y yea , Samsu g evide ly wa s o le i s die-ha d fa s y ou expe ime al wa ch fea u es mo hs i adva ce of whe he ex wa ch ships. So if you wa a s eak peek a he Galaxy Wa ch 5, you may wa o sig up.

Samsu g ece ly added Google Assis a o he Galaxy Wa ch 4, so you ca expec i o he 2022 wea able as well. The same goes fo o he Google apps like Maps a d Keep. 

Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5: Release da e a d p ice

While we have ‘ see a y leaks o his opic, i ‘s o ha d o guess ha he Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 elease da e will be some ime i Augus . The Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch, Galaxy Wa ch Ac ive 2, Galaxy Wa ch 3, a d Galaxy Wa ch 4 each lau ched some ime i Augus , fou yea s i a ow. We do ‘ have a specific da e ye , bu you wo ‘ have lo g o wai .

As fo p ici g, we ca assume he p ice will ma ch he Galaxy Wa ch 4 give hey’ll have he same case sizes: $250 fo he 40mm a d $280 fo he 44mm, espec ively. The e may be some sligh va ia io , bu o hi g d as ic give Samsu g does ‘ seem o be maki g majo cha ges his yea .

Samsu g will also sell a LTE upg ade fo he Galaxy Wa ch 5 fo (we suspec ) a $30 su cha ge.

As fo he Galaxy Wa ch 5 P o p ice, i would cos a leas as much as he 46mm Galaxy Wa ch 4 Classic — $۳۸۰ — bu would likely cos much highe give i s alleged sapphi e glass a d i a ium casi g. A i a ium Apple Wa ch Se ies 7 cos s a leas $800, while Ga mi wa ches wi h sapphi e glass also cos i ha p ice wi dow. 

We do ‘ k ow ye wha Galaxy Wa ch 5 colo op io s will be available ac oss all h ee models.

Ou Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5 wishlis

I ‘s 2022, a d ma y of us a e ei he looki g fo f esh s a s o imp oveme s o va ious a eas of ou lives, i cludi g he ech we use. Of cou se, Samsu g is o e of he la ges ech ology compa ies i he wo ld, so he e a e high hopes fo i .

Wi h he Galaxy Wa ch 4 ushe i g i a ew e a fo Samsu g i i s wea able li eage by d oppi g he homeg ow Tize OS i favo of Wea OS 3, of cou se, he e we e bou d o be some bumps i he oad. Despi e hese hiccups, he Galaxy Wa ch 4 se ies a e fa as ic sma wa ches. This is ha ks o excelle build quali y, some of he mos adva ced heal h mo i o i g se so s, a d ma y mo e easo s.

Bu despi e i s ech ical excelle ce, he Galaxy Wa ch 4 se ies had i s issues. Tha ‘s why we’ e hopi g he Galaxy Wa ch 5 makes some upg ades a d e ai s i s posi io as he bes A d oid sma wa ch available. Wi h ha i mi d, he e a e a few cha ges we’ e hopi g Samsu g has i i s sigh s fo he Galaxy Wa ch 5.

Be e ba e y life a d fas e cha gi g

Lo ge -las i g ba e ies a e ‘ a wishlis i em fo Samsu g alo e. I is some hi g we wa ac oss he boa d i e ms of sma wa ches. Bu , we’ e alki g abou o e of he mos adva ced ech ology compa ies globally, a d we expec mo e f om i . I should ‘ be oo much o ask ha ou sma wa ch ge s a leas wo days of use be wee cha ges while usi g he device o i s full po e ial — ye he e we a e.

Alo g wi h ex e di g ba e y life, Samsu g eeds o up i s cha gi g game.

If you use a Wea OS wa ch, you k ow ha you’ll eed o cha ge i eve y igh . Because u less you use o e of Mobvoi’s TicWa ch P o devices, you wo ‘ be able o u ilize you wa ch fo sleep acki g — assumi g i suppo s i — wi hou cha gi g i . To be fai , he TicWa ch P o wa ches achieve a lo g ba e y life by employi g dual-laye sc ee ech ology.

Ge i g lo g ba e y life f om a small compu e o he w is is a ough ask, bu alo g wi h solvi g ha puzzle — please give us fas e cha gi g. While wi eless cha gi g is a g ea fea u e, Samsu g’s impleme a io is slow. To go f om 0 o 100, you’ll eed abou wo hou s o each ha poi . Though i ‘s a diffe e ech ology, he Fossil Ge 6 ca ge a full day’s use wi h less ha 30 mi u es o he cha ge — he e’s o easo Samsu g ca ‘ a leas ma ch his o he Galaxy Wa ch 5.

Ope up heal h mo i o i g fea u es ou side of Samsu g pho es

Fo yea s, Samsu g wea ables have equi ed a ple ho a of sepa a e apps o fu c io o pho es o made by Samsu g. So while you could use you Tize -based wa ch o a y A d oid sma pho e, i would wo k be e , a d i some cases, have mo e fea u es o Samsu g b a ded devices. U fo u a ely, ha did ‘ ge esolved e i ely wi h he Galaxy Wa ch 4 u i g Wea OS — a d ha eeds o cha ge.

Samsu g wa ches have lo g offe ed adva ced heal h mo i o i g fea u es, a d he move o Wea OS should b i g ha o eve yo e.

To ake adva age of he ECG o blood p essu e mo i o i g if available i you cou y, you eed o be usi g a Samsu g pho e. The e’s o easo ha a fea u e wi h he po e ial o save someo e’s life should o ly wo k wi h a pa icula b a d of pho e. Whe he FDA app oved ECG mo i o i g fo Samsu g wa ches i Sep embe 2020, i equi ed a sepa a e app fo his fea u e, a d he e a e o easo s why his app a d fea u e ca ‘ wo k o a y A d oid pho e.

I addi io o ope i g up hese fea u es o be accessed by all A d oid pho e use s, i would be g ea o see he Galaxy Wa ch 5 be he device ha fi ally b i gs blood p essu e mo i o i g o he U.S. This, of cou se, is ‘ e i ely up o Samsu g as i equi es FDA app oval, bu i ‘s a fea u e ha ca have a sig ifica impac o people’s well-bei g. Hopefully, si ce he fea u e ece ly became available i Ca ada, i will be i he U.S. soo . By combi i g i wi h hea a e, blood oxyge , a d he BIA se so f om he Galaxy Wa ch 4, he ex i e a io of Samsu g’s sma wa ch could be i c edible.

Cohesive app desig la guage

Yes, we k ow ha his is a issue wi h Wea OS a d o he fu u e Samsu g Galaxy Wa ch 5. Bu , Samsu g is co-developi g he ope a i g sys em wi h Google, a d if i wa s o have i s sma wa ches i he same co ve sa io as wha Apple offe s — his eeds o happe .

Wea OS has offe ed a ela ively obus app ca alog, bu he quali y a d s yle of hose apps a e all ove he place.

Samsu g sma wa ches eside i he p emium ie , a d use s should expec a p emium expe ie ce, o e ha Apple Wa ch use s have e joyed fo yea s. Samsu g ailed ha dwa e lo g ago, a d eve i s Tize OS had some p emium aspec s. U fo u a ely, o e of hose was ‘ he apps.

By c ea i g a cohesive app desig la guage, Samsu g a d Google ca offe use s a d develope s he cha ce o use applica io s ha pe fo m a d look g ea . Fo example, apps o he Apple Wa ch compleme he ha dwa e a d p ovide co sis e cy ac oss he ca alog. Wea OS wa ches come i va ious shapes a d sizes, bu by c ea i g a commo la guage a d se i g app s a da ds, wa ches like he Galaxy Wa ch 5 ca fu he imp ove hei p emium s a ce.

Offe a LTE ve sio ha ac ually wo ks

O e of he mai easo s I e u ed my Galaxy Wa ch 4 LTE was because i , like ma y p io Samsu g cellula wa ches, was a disas e whe he LTE adio was ac ive. These ypes of wa ches a e supposed o offe he abili y o leave ou pho e behi d a d s ill be able o eceive o ifica io s, calls, ack wo kou s, a d mo e. Bu Samsu g has had a his o y of i s LTE sma wa ches s uggli g i seve al ways.

Whe payi g a p emium p ice o have he luxu y of a cellula co ec io o a sma wa ch, i ‘s a fea u e ha should be accessible.

Whe I ied o use my Galaxy Wa ch 4 o a u , i could ‘ s ay powe ed o lo g e ough o ack my wo kou . Powe i g off mul iple imes due o ove hea i g, eve ually, I lef he wa ch off. Tha is u accep able. U fo u a ely, eve whe yi g o leave my pho e behi d, o du i g a wo kou , a d u ilize a fea u e I bough he wa ch fo , i would ove hea . The Galaxy Wa ch 5 eeds o esolve his issue.

Samsu g develops he imp essive ha dwa e ha we see a d he i e al pa s ha u he devices. The e a e ma y fac o s ha come i o play whe deali g wi h cellula adios. S ill, Samsu g ca achieve a sma wa ch ha ca offe p ope LTE co ec ivi y, should i be a p io i y. If Samsu g does ‘ , a d i chooses o co i ue dow he cu e pa h, jus leave LTE ou of he Galaxy Wa ch 5 e i ely.

The fi s y was good, bu he seco d will be be e

Eve hough, af e wo ies, he Galaxy Wa ch 4 did ‘ do e ough o imp ess me, Samsu g makes some of he bes A d oid sma wa ches. I gives o he b a ds some hi g o shoo fo jus as hey co i ue o push Samsu g.

Samsu g’s fi s swi g a a Wea OS wa ch we ve y well i ma y ways. I did ‘ jus slap o a diffe e OS wi h he Galaxy Wa ch 4; i also b ough i imp oved heal h mo i o i g fea u es alo g wi h some ew o es.
