LEAKED! Galaxy Watch 5 will have Pro version and loses rotating crown

From time to time it is common for some information about technological news to leak on the internet, and by the way the next smartwatch from Samsung didn't stay out of this one. According to rumours, the Galaxy Watch 5 will come very similar to its previous model, but with some internal and external changes — including a model Pro. See what the leaked information points to.

Next Galaxy Watch

Although there have been a few leaks about Samsung's new products, none had yet been pointed to the company's next smartwatch — so far. Evan Blass is known for his reliable leaks and he claims that the 3D models of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro could be even more surprising when released.

The standard model, the Galaxy Watch 5 has the codename "Heart” and is very similar to the Galaxy Watch4. The fine lines of the text that is on the bottom of the device indicate that we will have a 44 mm model around. Even so, it is possible that there is a model with 40 mm, being launched next to it. There will be LTE or Bluetooth support for connectivity.

Colors and physical crown

Evan Blass still claims that the model pattern will have a greater color variation than the Pro model. Among the visas are graphite, silver and sapphire, in addition to a possible rose-gold being used as a print for the promotion of the smartwatch. already the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro may come in black or titanium gray.

The Galaxy Watch 5 apparently will not have a version with the traditional one rotating crown, a hallmark feature of the Galaxy Watch line, and one that has remained in the Galaxy Watch4 Classic. Previously there were rumors that Samsung was swapping this crown — which is a physical device — for the so-called “digital panel".

What's more, there are still rumors that the Pro model will only launch with LTE support for standalone cellular connectivity (i.e. no need for a smartphone nearby), like many of the premium category Android smartwatches. It is speculated that the minor and Pro variants run the WearOS 3.5 with One UI Watch 4.5. There is no exact date for the device's launch, but rumors point to it being in the middle of August.
