i've been thinking a lot about what's coming next for samsung's next big smartwatch and
we are approaching that time of the year where we do sort of start to get a glimpse into what
samsung are actually working on so there are a few rumors and leaks flying around at the moment the
main one being that there could be up to three versions of the galaxy watch five so that's one
more than last year and rumors are flying around suggesting that there will be a galaxy watch 5 pro
or ultra version which will replace the galaxy watch 4 classic now one of my complaints if you
like in my recent galaxy watch 4 classic review was that there really wasn't much classic about
it and i have a feeling and it's just a feeling that what samsung are going to be going for
with the galaxy watch 5 pro is a sort of garmin watch where you get a lot of advanced tracking
and gps features but with that will come a much higher price tag and again i have a feeling
that it will be samsung's most expensive smartwatch ever potentially touching the
500 pound mark now a lot of people when they do these sorts of videos is all just speculation i
like to actually source my information so i found out that galaxy club managed to dig up several
different code names the first one is called heart s with a model number smr 90x this is assumed to
be your base model of the galaxy watch 5 which is usually the cheapest version of the two or three
in this case this one is assumed to be coming in a 40 millimeter and a 42 millimeter variant
then we also have the heart l which we had assumed would replace the galaxy watch 4 classic this is
coming with a 44 millimeter and a 46 millimeter variant but then another code name has popped up
the heart pro which could possibly come in with a whopping 48 millimeter variant this makes sense as
the watch 5 pro has been rumored to be coming with a 572 milliamp hour battery which might finally
appease the samsung community and all those galaxy watch fans who have been complaining about the
battery life for years on end now don't worry it's not just the super fancy super expensive
galaxy watch 5 pro and ultra models that are going to be getting this huge battery upgrade part
number leaks have suggested that all of the new galaxy watches will be getting a slight battery
increase from their previous versions part numbers have popped up suggesting that the base version
of the watch 5 will be getting an upgrade to 276 milliamp hours up from the original 247 not a huge
increase by any means but with the optimization that i expect to be coming with the galaxy watch
5 pro and galaxy watch 5 models i think it will make a significant difference at least by a good
few hours now we also have battery information for the watch codenamed heart l this is the model in
the middle if you like this one will be getting a 397 milliamp hour battery and if we compare that
to the current watch for classic which has a 361 million power battery it looks like this version
will be getting a sort of similar modest increase as well in other news we have had talk about a
thermometer of sorts coming to the watch five but it's looking more and more likely that that will
not actually be happening now apparently this is due to the making slow progress with the algorithm
which determines the skin temperature personally i'm a bit gutted that this feature is going to be
emitted but at the same time i'm kind of glad they have decided to leave it out of this version i'd
much prefer a watch that works rather than samsung rushing something out bringing it to the shelves
with a high price tag and then making us pay for something that isn't actually quite working
properly now assumptions could also be made about a new version of wear os and it's most likely
coming but it's quite possible the galaxy watch 5 will not be the first in line this time last year
the galaxy watch 4 managed to ship with the latest railroad 3.0 leaving competitors waiting quite a
while to get that update but this year rumors of the pixel watch are back and it's looking
more and more likely that this will be the year for the pixel watch finally i expect to see this
around september time i guess and we could stretch that to november depending on what's going on and
it'll be very interesting to see what happens between samsung and google around this time
given they pretty much work together on wear os 3.0 and the galaxy watch for google will have to
bring something completely unique to the market in order to stay friendly with samsung and not
step on any toes so to speak and i for one am very excited to see how it all goes down i'm
also very excited to see what comes of the pixel watch finally i remember watching other youtubers
videos on this before i even started my channel and it seems every year there are new rumors about
the pixel watch so hopefully fingers crossed this will be the year anyway in terms of release date
for the watch five it's still assumed to be august possibly early september depending on what's going
on in the world so really we are fast approaching that time and i have no doubt samsung will start
to feed us just a little bit more information on their next new smartwatch in the meantime
though do check out our latest episode of watch face wars to check out some of the best wearows
and galaxy watch faces on the market today for now though i've been alex and this has been
take it easy thank you so much for watching and hopefully i'll see you in the next one
