Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series: What has changed over Watch 5 series?
The new Galaxy Watch 6 series from Samsung offers a 20% larger display from Galaxy Watch 5 series, showcasing more text on screen and a larger keyboard. Next, the display not only has a higher resolution, but boasts of a peak brightness of 2000 nits, compared to 1000 nits on Galaxy Watch 5 series. There’s also a new feature called Always On Display brightness adjustment.
As for other design changes, Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic come with a 30% slimmer bezel and a 15% thinner rotating bezel respectively. The major upgrade in Watch 6 design is that the physical rotating bezel has made a comeback, which was absent on the Watch 5 Pro. Then, the watch bands now have a one-click mechanism to remove those from the watch.
Next, the processor has also been upgraded from Exynos W920 on Watch 4 and Watch 5 series to Exynos W930 with higher clock speeds on Watch 6 series. Furthermore, the RAM amount has also increased from 1.5GB to 2GB. Lastly for hardware changes, the Galaxy Watch 6 series comes with a larger battery in all models compared to last year’s Watch 5 series.
Most other changes are rather not changes but software updates, the majority of which should also come to Galaxy Watch 4 series and Watch 5 series, but that isn’t confirmed officially yet. These new features were already detailed when the One UI 5 Watch beta began earlier this year for older Samsung watches. The watch 6 series also gets enhanced gesture control, thermo check app, Camera controller, new Google Calendar and Gmail apps and more.
