Even though the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series still feels brand new, we're probably already halfway through the next release. We haven't heard about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 yet, that's true. But there is no doubt that something else will come after Wear OS. We've noted all the new information we've found below so you know what to expect on the next Galaxy Watch. You can also start making a list of what you want at any time.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 series is expected to release by the end of the year. We don't know much more about this smartwatch yet, but it should be released after the Galaxy Watch 5, which launched in August 2022. If the South Korean tech company does what it's always done, the Galaxy Watch 6 series could feature a base model and a more advanced model.

A new leak suggests that the Galaxy Watch 6 series may no longer have a flat screen. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 will not have a flat screen, according to a reliable source. Instead, it will feature curved glass. The glass of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is curved again.
We now know that glass is not flat, but that's about all we know. So far, Samsung hasn't said much about this “smartwatch.” Although the company has filed a patent that would allow it to integrate a projector into some of its future Galaxy Watches, it is possible that the Galaxy Watch 6 will not be equipped with one.
The patent describes a smartwatch with a projection screen on one side of the case and a display area next to the case that displays information. It could be used to mirror the main screen or display more information, according to the report.
Design of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are expected to release later this year, along with the Galaxy Watch 6 series. It appears the company is making some significant changes to the look of all these new devices. For example, the hinge on foldable phones is now waterdrop-shaped, making the screen crease less obvious.
Even the next Galaxy Watch won't have the same industrial look. According to information from Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), the glass of the Galaxy Watch 6 will be curved. This is different from the flat screen of the Galaxy Watch 5. If this is true, the Apple Watch and Google Pixel Watch may have influenced Samsung. A phone with curved glass around the edges of the screen is more likely to be scratched, but it might also look cooler.
We don't know much else about the Galaxy Watch 6, but we do know that Samsung is talking to Chinese display maker BOE to get OLED panels. It is highly likely that the company will continue to use a round OLED display, as with all previous Galaxy Watches. Samsung might use a new chipset in the Galaxy Watch 6 after using the same Exynos W920 chipset for two years.
Features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
There hasn't been much discussion about the Galaxy Watch 6's features. It's possible the watch will feature a new chipset to compete with Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1, but Wear OS smartwatches typically stick with the same SoC for a few years. Samsung could continue to use the same processor, since it works well in the watches it already makes.
The Galaxy Watch 5 has a storage space of 16 GB and a RAM of 1.5 GB. On the other hand, the Pixel Watch is better because it has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage space. storage. All this is happening on a very old chipset. If Samsung wants to stay competitive, it might need to match or even beat the Pixel Watch's specs for better performance and more space for apps, music, and other things that can be downloaded.

We may already know something about the battery. Leaked photos of the Galaxy Watch 6 batteries show that the watches could have more storage space than their predecessors. The battery of the 40mm model is expected to be 300mAh, while that of the 44mm model will be 425mAh.
This means that the watches should be able to last at least a day without needing to be recharged. We don't yet know how much battery power the Pro model has. We believe the Galaxy Watch 6 will have the same sensors as the Galaxy Watch 5. We are not aware of any new sensors or features yet.
Health function in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
Samsung also offers health tracking features that are currently only available on Galaxy phones. You need to use the Samsung Health Monitor app if you want to use ECG or blood pressure monitoring. You will not be able to use these functions if you do not have a Samsung phone. We understand that Samsung wants to keep some features for its own family, but we hope the company lets everyone use them.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 release date
The Active 2 was released in September, but it was announced in August, along with the rest of the range. Based on the release dates of new models in the past, we expect the new models to be released during the Samsung Unpacked event this summer. In all likelihood, this event will take place at the beginning of August, so the devices will go on sale at the end of the month. Samsung has a habit of making its new products available. The only one that isn't is the Galaxy Watch Active. It was announced in February 2019 and released in March of the same year. All other Galaxy Watches announced in August were released a few weeks later.
How much does the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 cost?
It is difficult to guess the price of a watch at the moment due to the current situation. The Galaxy Watch 5 line was released last year. The base model cost $279, and the Pro model, which only comes in one size, cost $449. For LTE versions, each choice came with an additional cost. This generation's Series 5 started out costing about $30 more than the previous generation.
For one thing, Samsung probably won't raise the price this year. On the other hand, Samsung still offers lower prices than its Cupertino competitor. It's not impossible to ask buyers to pay more for a good portable device. If Samsung makes enough changes, the new series could be worth a higher price.

Will the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 see the light of day?
To be honest, it's almost impossible that there won't be a new Samsung smartwatch by 2023. Samsung kicked off a huge wave of new ideas for smartwatches by adding Wear OS 3 to the Galaxy Watch 4 series. Currently, the Galaxy Watch 5 series continues to ride this wave. Even if other wearables based on Wear OS improve, Samsung will certainly release a new generation this summer to continue its momentum. It would be difficult for the company to withdraw from the race, especially as products like the Pixel Watch try to attract new users.
Is there a Pro model for the Galaxy Watch 6?
So far, there haven't been many rumors about what Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 series will be. It is likely that Samsung will maintain its two-pronged approach and give its customers a choice. But the company hasn't said whether it will bring back the Classic model or create a second Pro model.
