Samsung’s second huge launch of 2022 is simply across the nook, with the corporate holding an occasion on August 10 at which we’re anticipating to see the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 line – and people watches are shaping as much as be actual highlights of the present.

At this level there’s not a lot we don’t know concerning the wearables, assuming the current leaks we have seen are correct, and an enormous new leak has simply emerged on WinFuture (opens in new tab), consisting of virtually an entire specs checklist, together with supposedly official advertising photos.

The largest information on this leaked data is the battery capacities, with the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 apparently having a 284mAh battery, the 44mAh mannequin mentioned to have a 410mAh battery, and the 45mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Professional apparently getting an infinite 590mAh battery.

These capacities can be greater than the Samsung Galaxy Watch Four line’s battery capacities, and likewise greater than earlier leaks have advised. They’d apparently permit for 50 hours of life in the usual fashions and as much as 80 hours within the case of the Galaxy Watch 5 Professional, which might be even higher than the three days of life we’d beforehand heard it may handle.

Different leaked specs embody point out of a 1.19-inch 396 x 396 AMOLED show on the 40mm mannequin and a bigger 1.36-inch 450 x 450 AMOLED display on the opposite two, with sapphire glass used for the display on all three variations.

Additionally they all apparently cost wirelessly at 10W, and all use the Exynos W920 chipset that we’ve beforehand seen within the Galaxy Watch 4. That’s mentioned to be paired with as much as 16GB of storage, plus GPS, NFC, and – within the case of mobile fashions – an eSIM.

Now we have dimensions too, with the usual Galaxy Watch 5 fashions apparently each being 9.8mm thick, and coming in at 28.7g for the 40mm mannequin and 33.5g for the 44mm one. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Professional in the meantime is alleged to be 10.5mm thick and 46.5g. All that additional weight is probably going due to the larger battery.

We’ve included some leaked pictures of the wearables above – extra of them might be seen on WinFuture’s web site, however they don’t present a lot that we haven’t seen earlier than. The principle takeaway is that not one of the fashions appear to have a rotating bezel, which is a disgrace. Certainly, the Watch 5 Professional appears a lot the identical as the usual variations, however it apparently has a titanium physique.

There’s additionally a brand new sensor seen on the rear of those wearables, which the positioning speculates could also be for measuring physique temperature.

Lastly, now we have doable pricing, with the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 apparently costing €299, the 44mm mannequin priced at €329, and the Galaxy Watch 5 Professional retailing for €469. That’s for the Bluetooth-only fashions, with mobile variations apparently costing €40-€50 extra.

For reference, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Four began at €269 for a 40mm mannequin, rising to €299 for a 44mm one, and between €369 and €399 for the Galaxy Watch Four Basic, relying on the dimensions.

So the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 line is seemingly going to be costlier. Value conversions are by no means precise, but when these euro costs are correct then you possibly can count on to pay a bit greater than the $249.99 / £249 / AU$399 that the Watch Four began at for a Watch 5, and greater than the $349 / £349 / AU$549 than the Watch Four Basic began at for the Watch 5 Professional.

Evaluation: even with these costs, the Galaxy Watch 5 line may have the Apple Watch Eight beat

The Galaxy Watch line is usually the primary rival to the Apple Watch, and this yr it may present even more durable competitors than common.

Whereas we don’t know something for certain about both the Watch 5 or the Apple Watch Eight but, leaks recommend that Apple’s upcoming wearable will likely be not less than as costly, even taking into consideration the rumored worth rises for Samsung’s watches talked about above.

With Samsung’s wearables probably providing drastically improved battery life they may have the Apple Watch Eight beat in that division; and, outdoors of a doable new Apple Watch Eight Rugged Version, it doesn’t sound like Apple’s upcoming wearables will provide too many upgrades. They may have a physique temperature sensor, however then so would possibly Samsung’s watches.

The selection as ever will principally come right down to your most popular working system – and you probably have an Android cellphone then the Apple Watch Eight gained’t be an possibility in any respect. However simply trying on the rumored specs and pricing, it’s doubtless that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 line will match or beat one of the best Apple watches.
