TL;DR
- Regulatory filings verify that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 will get an upgraded processor.
- The SoC will land because the Exynos W930, changing the ageing W92o from the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4.
- Apparently, the SoC has the identical mannequin quantity because the W920, so the chips won’t be that totally different.
When the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 landed, we had been barely disillusioned that it didn’t have a processor improve. As a substitute, it launched with the Exynos W920, the identical processor that’s within the Galaxy Watch 4. Nevertheless, it seems to be like we’ll be seeing an improve this yr.
The Bluetooth SIG database — a regulatory agency that should approve units earlier than they go up on the market — has simply revealed its submitting for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (h/t SamMobile). That submitting confirms the following Galaxy Watch will get a brand new system on a chip (SoC).
Based on the submitting, the SoC will land because the Exynos W930. It can change the W920, which we noticed within the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5. This places to mattress earlier rumors that the SoC would land because the Exynos W980.
Apparently, the Exynos W930 relies on the identical chip mannequin quantity because the W920 — S5E5515. Which means there won’t be a lot bodily distinction between the 2 chips. Though we gained’t know for certain till Samsung formally reveals the Galaxy Watch 6, it could be that the W930 is only a slight enchancment over the W920. It could possibly be that Samsung overclocked the S5E5515, improved its manufacturing barely, or each. Both approach, the W930 and W920 will possible be extra comparable than they’re totally different.
We’re unsure how you can really feel about this but. On the one hand, upgrades are at all times good. Then again, we had been hoping for one thing somewhat extra substantial than this. Both approach, we’ll know extra in July after we see the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 for ourselves!
