Galaxy Watch 6 Series

If you are looking for a smartwatch, the options are numerous. But if want one running on Wear OS your options are much more limited. Recently, Samsung presented two new smart watches running on Wear OS, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic. Find out all about them.

• Samsung promises a 20 per cent larger screen with room for more text and a larger keyboard for replying to messages.
• The Watch 6 series has received a real spec bump. This includes a newer, faster processor. The Exynos W930 succeeds the Exynos W920 from the Watch 5 (Pro). The new smartwatch also comes with more working memory: 2GB instead of 1.5GB. This is useful for launching apps or switching quickly between different apps.
• The battery capacity of the Watch 6 series has been slightly increased. The smallest model is equipped with a 300 mAh battery, which was 284 mAh with the Watch 5. With the larger model, we also see a small increase: 425 mAh vs 410 mAh.
• What is new is the substantially higher peak brightness of the AMOLED screens used. According to Samsung, the Watch 6 series reaches a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. By comparison, the Watch 5 Pro was stuck at 1,000 nits. This makes Watch 6 Series much more readable in direct sunlight.
• Samsung offers both the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic in different variants. The Watch 6 is available in 40mm and 44m. The Watch 6 Classic in 43mm and 47mm. Both watches use the same 1.31-inch and 1.47-inch AMOLED screens. The case of the Watch 6 Classic is larger because of its rotating bezel.

The watches are available as of August 7. The Galaxy Watch 6 starts at €252,01 (VAT exclusive) and is available in Graphite (40mm & 44mm), Silver (44mm) and Gold (40mm). The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic starts at €331,01 (VAT exclusive) and comes in Black and Silver.

The Tab S9 has a lonely 13 MP camera at the back and shares the same camera on the front as the Tab S9 Plus.
• The overall design of the Tab S9 series hasn’t changed much. The series again features an S Pen – which can be used to to draw on the screen or copy and paste bits of text or images – attachment slot at the back for pairing and charging the stylus. The only difference is that the slot looks more discreet now and matches the shade of the tablets.
