Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra could be equipped with anti-reflective screen technology. The smartwatch is rumored to use anti-reflective coating, an identical feature to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Ahead of the launch, crucial information about the wearable has been tipped.
According to the info, Samsung might pack the Galaxy Watch Ultra with anti-reflective coating on the screen. It would result in a greatly enhanced user experience over rivals. Apple’s iPhone is already defeated by the S24 Ultra in terms of screen visibility and color vibrance.
