To make it even more premium, South Korean tech giant Samsung could launch its next smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, with screen protected by sapphire crystal and titanium structure.
Next summer, Samsung is expected to unveil two new smartwatches: the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. While the first model should come in two versions of different sizes (40 mm and 46 mm), the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro should stand out for its unique size, but also for the quality of its materials.
Indeed, according to information from leaker Ice Universe, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 Pro would have sapphire crystal protection, which would allow it to be particularly resistant to falls and scratches. This would therefore be a first for Samsung, which currently uses less resistant Gorilla Glass DX glass on its latest Galaxy Watch 4 of 2021.
Samsung will use titanium for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
In addition to sapphire crystal, Ice Universe announces that Samsung’s next watch will have a titanium case, which will make it super resistant. As a reminder, this would not be not the first time that Samsung has used titanium in one of its smartwatches.
Indeed, a few months after the launch of the Galaxy Watch 3 in 2020, Samsung had finally unveiled an even more expensive titanium version. The watch was offered at almost $600, or 50% more than the steel version.
On his side, Apple also offers titanium Apple Watches. The Series 7, for example, houses a model from 829 euros with a sports bracelet, and from 879 euros with a leather link bracelet. It would therefore not be surprising to see Samsung offer its Galaxy Watch 5 at a similar price.
As for its spec sheet, we’ve seen before that Samsung’s Pro Watch is expected to come with a monstrous 572 mAh battery, which is 60% more than the classic Galaxy Watch 4. The new watch could therefore offer a much more impressive autonomy than the previous generation.
