This info comes from famend trade leaker Ice Universe on Twitter (opens in new tab) who claims the display measurement on the Galaxy Watch 6 is “100 p.c confirmed” to be 1.47 inches, up from the Galaxy Watch 5’s 1.4-inch show. In consequence, the decision will subsequently be “improved”, resulting in a greater “display proportion”. When requested on Twitter if there may even be a better-performing Professional model, Ice Universe said there might be Galaxy Watch 6 Basic mannequin however did not elaborate.

You could be questioning, “Does seven-hundredths of an inch actually make that huge of an impression?” It form of does, really. Greater screens imply simpler interactivity, in any case.

Nevertheless it’s nonetheless, probably an honest improve and you’ll’t beat having higher decision. Our foremost concern is the battery life, although Samsung might have an answer for that. Based on current stories, the Galaxy Watch 6 could have both a 300mAh or a 425mAh battery to feed the extra power-hungry display. As for different design modifications, Ice Universe said again in February (opens in new tab) that the Galaxy Watch 6 could have a curved glass display just like the Google Pixel Watch.

Samsung, up to now, has but to disclose something official about its new smartwatch so take this info with a grain of salt.
