Samsung’s rumored Galaxy Watch 6 is generating buzz for its potential design changes, including a smaller bezel to create a larger display. Renowned industry leaker Ice Universe has confirmed that the device’s watch face will feature a 1.47-inch display, up from the previous Galaxy Watch 5’s 1.4-inch screen. While a relatively minor difference, the larger screen will lead to a better “screen proportion” and improved resolution.

Will Samsung follow in Apple’s footsteps with upcoming smartwatch design?

The move is reminiscent of Apple’s design strategy with its smartwatches, including the recently released Apple Watch 7. The Watch 7 features a 20 percent larger screen than its predecessor, the Watch 6, with a sizeable increase from 1.78 inches to 1.9 inches. The result is a noticeable difference in display size and less squished-looking apps. However, the larger screen on Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 could potentially impact battery life, a concern that the company may have addressed with a 300mAh or 425mAh battery, according to recent reports.

Ice Universe also revealed that the Galaxy Watch 6 will have a curved glass screen similar to the Google Pixel Watch. While Samsung has yet to release any official information about its new smartwatch, rumors suggest that the company may resurrect the rotating bezel seen on the Galaxy Watch 3.

As the release date for the Galaxy Watch 6 remains a mystery, it remains to be seen whether Samsung will follow in Apple’s footsteps with its smartwatch design. However, with the potential for a larger screen and improved resolution, the Galaxy Watch 6 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade for the series.

It is worth noting that some tech enthusiasts speculate that Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 will also offer advanced features such as body composition measurement and non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. However, Samsung has not yet confirmed these speculations.

Overall, the rumored design changes of the Galaxy Watch 6 seem to indicate Samsung’s continued commitment to improving its smartwatch lineup. As the smartwatch market continues to grow, Samsung’s upcoming release may prove to be a strong competitor in the increasingly crowded field.
