Samsung may be planning to shake up its smartwatch lineup this year. A new Pro model is apparently in the pipeline, but it’s not clear if it will replace the classic model. Based on rumours, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will be at the top of the range and will be made of quality materials according to the latest leak.
Sapphire is highly durable and scratch and crack resistant, making it ideal for use in a smartwatch. The downside is that this makes the Watch 5 Pro very expensive. In comparison, the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, one of the best watches out there, starts at $350.
According to a previous rumor, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will come with a hefty 572mAh battery, which would be 60 percent more than the larger Galaxy Watch 4. This could work wonders for battery life. , which isn’t great on current models, but can result in a very large watch, which some people may not prefer.
Other details are still scarce. Samsung is said to be working on a temperature sensor for its next watches, but it may not be ready in time for the rumored August launch.
