Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 packs bigger battery, eyes on Pro
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 could come with a bigger battery than its predecessor. The company appears to be focussing on the development of new products that will be unveiled at August Unpacked. However, folks over at GalaxyClub spotted the battery unit of Samsung’s next smartwatch.
According to the information, the standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 packs a bigger battery than the Galaxy Watch 5. The company has reportedly submitted the battery to South Korea’s certification authority, and the document reveals a worthy upgrade.
Samsung has also got certification for both of the submitted batteries, which bear model numbers SM-R93x and SM-R94x. Different model numbers refer to different variants (sizes) of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 smartwatch.
It has been revealed that the Galaxy Watch 6 40mm battery (EB-BR935ABY) has a typical capacity of 300 mAh, while the rated capacity is 295 mAh. Pay attention, the vanilla Galaxy Watch 5 features a battery with a typical capacity of 285mAh and a rated capacity of 276mAh.
On the flip side, the 44mm variant’s battery appears to have a typical capacity of 425 mAh, and a rated capacity is 412 mAh. Notably, the Galaxy Watch 5’s 44mm model’s battery has a typical capacity of 410 mAh and a rated capacity of 397 mAh.
Since the Korean tech giant is bringing bigger batteries with its next-generation wearable devices, the upgrade is not too big. Still, it can be seen as a significant change as the company strictly follows the policy of maintaining the size, thickness, and appearance of Galaxy devices.
Eyes on Watch 6 Pro
Earlier, it was revealed that Samsung is taking inspiration from Apple Watch and Google’s Pixel Watch to design its Galaxy Watch 6. As per leaks, the upcoming wearable device(s) may bring a curved glass display, ditching the flat panels.
Galaxy Watch 5 Pro should also get a sequel as Apple already brought the Watch Ultra with an eye-watering price. The Pro model should also come with a bigger battery and enhanced hardware to deliver better health features and long-lasting performance.
Thanks to Samsung’s research partnership, the Galaxy Watch 6 revolutionizes running with the University of Michigan Exercise & Sport Science Initiative. This collaboration is launched to help runners manage their health and physical activity by providing more reliable and accurate data.
The Michigan Performance Research Laboratory (MiPR) — ESSI’s core research lab — will oversee an eight-month study that uses the Galaxy Watch series to estimate the VO2 max and sweat loss of participants as they run.

The study will compare reference data against smartwatch data from both indoor (treadmill) and outdoor running trials of different distances, from 2.5km to 20km.
Runners at all levels grapple with sweat loss, dehydration and heat management, particularly during the summer months. Samsung and University of Michigan teams hope the study’s findings will further enhance smartwatch technology, giving runners more accurate measurements of their health metrics.
Galaxy Watch 6
Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic feature personalized fitness coaching, advanced sleep management, and health monitoring. For runners, the new Personalized Heart Rate Zone feature provides five optimal running intensity levels based on individual physical capabilities.
Additionally, Track Run helps runners record their runs while on a running track. During a run, Galaxy Watch provides in-depth analysis including asymmetry, regularity, and ground contact time to help improve performance and reduce injury.
Samsung has a range of Fan Edition devices in the pipeline, which could be released soon. The company will launch a new FE smartphone, tablets, and earbuds in the near future. A new leak talks about color variants, pricing, and speaker specifications of the Galaxy Buds FE.
A reliable industry source revealed that the Galaxy Buds FE could be available in Graphite/White color options. It features 12mm speakers tuned by AKG, similar to other Samsung earbuds. Additionally, the source mentioned that the earbuds may cost $99.99 (MSRP).

The South Korean tech giant is expected to launch the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series alongside the Galaxy Buds FE later this year. It appears to be a new strategy of debuting affordable variants of previously released flagship products.

Samsung will introduce a set of new Fan Edition products in near future. The company’s next-gen affordable TWS earbuds will be called Galaxy Buds FE, which shown in their best look in press images.
Courtesy of winfuture.de, we now have our best look at the Galaxy Buds FE. The new earbuds differ significantly from the previous models in which Samsung uses a multi-part housing with a centrally located touch surface.

Additionally, the company apparently wants to offer the Buds FE, as with some previous models in its range of wireless headphones for in-ear use, with rubber covers as part of improving the grip on ear cups of different shapes.
