Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 packs bigger battery, eyes on Pro

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 could come with a bigger battery than its predecessor. The company appears to be focussing on the development of new products that will be unveiled at August Unpacked. However, folks over at GalaxyClub spotted the battery unit of Samsung’s next smartwatch.

According to the information, the standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 packs a bigger battery than the Galaxy Watch 5. The company has reportedly submitted the battery to South Korea’s certification authority, and the document reveals a worthy upgrade.

Samsung has also got certification for both of the submitted batteries, which bear model numbers SM-R93x and SM-R94x. Different model numbers refer to different variants (sizes) of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 smartwatch.

It has been revealed that the Galaxy Watch 6 40mm battery (EB-BR935ABY) has a typical capacity of 300 mAh, while the rated capacity is 295 mAh. Pay attention, the vanilla Galaxy Watch 5 features a battery with a typical capacity of 285mAh and a rated capacity of 276mAh.

On the flip side, the 44mm variant’s battery appears to have a typical capacity of 425 mAh, and a rated capacity is 412 mAh. Notably, the Galaxy Watch 5’s 44mm model’s battery has a typical capacity of 410 mAh and a rated capacity of 397 mAh.

Since the Korean tech giant is bringing bigger batteries with its next-generation wearable devices, the upgrade is not too big. Still, it can be seen as a significant change as the company strictly follows the policy of maintaining the size, thickness, and appearance of Galaxy devices.

Eyes on Watch 6 Pro

Earlier, it was revealed that Samsung is taking inspiration from Apple Watch and Google’s Pixel Watch to design its Galaxy Watch 6. As per leaks, the upcoming wearable device(s) may bring a curved glass display, ditching the flat panels.

Galaxy Watch 5 Pro should also get a sequel as Apple already brought the Watch Ultra with an eye-watering price. The Pro model should also come with a bigger battery and enhanced hardware to deliver better health features and long-lasting performance.
