The 400 mm display of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is expected to measure 1.19 inches with 396 x 396 pixels. While the display of both Galaxy Watch 5 in 44 mm and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro measures at 1.36 inches 450 x 450 pixels. Both come with sapphire glass screens in AMOLED displays. The watches feature a metal case with side buttons, as well as a rear heart rate sensor.
The Galaxy Watch 5 has a larger battery than its predecessor at 284mAh for the 40 mm and 410mAh for the 44 mm, about 15% bigger than the Galaxy Watch 4. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro runs for days without charging required thanks to the whopping 590mAh battery capacity.
Just like the Galaxy Watch 4 line, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will be powered by an Exynos W920 chipset. The watch is reportedly to have a 16 GB storage capacity, GPS and NFC, while cellular models will have an eSIM.
