[RUMOR] Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5 Gets New 'Pro' Version With an Upgraded Battery Life

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch may have a "Pro" version with better specifications.

Sammobile's sources recently reported that Samsung might be developing a Pro version of its Galaxy Watch 5, which would allegedly have a better battery life than its predecessors and the regular Galaxy Watch 5.

However, the publication's sources warned that Samsung's upcoming smart watch's specification could change from now and its expected launch will be later this year.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 'Pro' Details

According to Sammobile's sources, the upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 Pro version will have a 572mAh battery that could bring a nearly 60% increase in battery capacity compared to the Galaxy Watch 4. This increase means that the smartwatch's battery life could last longer than its regular version.

For comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 comes with a 361 mAh battery on its larger-sized variants, which can barely hit two days with regular use during Android Central's testing. Meanwhile, a TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS has a slightly larger 577mAh battery that lasts an average of three days on a single charge.

With the suspected Galaxy Watch 5 Pro's battery being only five mAh lower than a TichWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS', the smartwatch could indeed see higher battery life.

A Korean certification Sammobile cited shows that the battery's model name is EB-BR925ABY, which Samsung certified with Safety Korea on March 30, per Notebook Check. According to Sammobile, the battery's capacity can be confirmed in the certification.

However, GSMArena warns interested customers in their report about the price of the Galaxy Watch 5' Pro version, saying that the smartwatch is likely to launch at an even higher price than the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm did.

Meanwhile, the other Galaxy Watch 5 models are also rumored to receive slight battery life gains over the Galaxy Watch 4 lineup.

Unfortunately, Sammobile's sources mentioned that the Pro version is not 100% confirmed for release along with other confirmed Galaxy Watch 5 models. They added that the plan could end up getting scrapped between now and the Galaxy Watch 5 series' launch, which is expected to happen in August.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Details

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is rumored to be the best Samsung smartwatch yet. A report from Tom's Guide suggests that its price could be the same as the Galaxy Watch 4's if it comes in two configurations. Meanwhile, Specs Tech's article stated that the smartwatch (the regular one) could have an Exynos W920 with 5 nm manufacturing accuracy powering it and a Mali-G68 GPU.

The smartwatch could also have a 50-meter water resistance depth and a 276mAh battery, which is 10% larger than the Galaxy Watch 4's 247 mAh battery, per Android Authority.

LetsGoDigital's article implies that the Samsung Galaxy 5 could have a display that the user can unroll to make it bigger, gaining an extra 40% of display in the process.
