The upcoming Galaxy Watch 6 is rumored to have a larger display compared to its predecessor, thanks to its slimmed-down bezels. According to a specs list leaked by SnoopyTech, the 40mm Watch 6 will feature a 1.31-inch OLED display, while the 44mm version will have a 1.47-inch OLED display.
Not only will the Galaxy Watch 6 see an upgrade in display size, but the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will also receive the same treatment. Rumored to come in 43mm and 47mm options, the Classic version is said to have a 1.2-inch display with a possible 432 x 432 resolution and a 1.47-inch screen with a 480 x 480 resolution. This is a slight improvement from the display sizes of its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 5.
Additionally, the leaked specs list confirms previous rumors that Samsung plans to equip all Watch 6 models with sapphire crystal glass displays for enhanced durability. This is a departure from last year when the more expensive Watch 5 Classic was the only model to feature this premium glass. Along with the upgraded display, the Galaxy Watch 6 is also expected to reintroduce the rotating bezel, a feature that was absent in the Galaxy Watch 5. Leaked images suggest that the Galaxy Watch 6 lineup will feature a physical rotating bezel instead of the touch bezel introduced in the previous iteration.
However, the changes in the Galaxy Watch 6 don’t end there. The leaked specs sheet reveals that the Watch 6 could come with a new Exynos W930 chip, an improvement from the previous model. It is also rumored to offer 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, surpassing the 1.5GB of RAM found in the Watch 5. As for the battery life, the Watch 6 might feature slightly larger batteries. The smaller size options are rumored to have a 300mAh battery, while the larger ones could have a 425mAh battery. It remains to be seen whether these upgrades will translate into better battery life, which was a major concern highlighted in reviews of the Watch 5.
In summary, the leaked specs suggest that the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic will come with larger displays, better durability with sapphire crystal glass, the reintroduction of the physical rotating bezel, and improved performance with a new chip, increased storage, and RAM. While the rumored larger batteries could potentially address battery life concerns, users will have to wait for the official release to determine the true capabilities of the Galaxy Watch 6.
