Why you should upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
In our hands-on review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6, we liked how the standard model received a bigger display. There were no significant trade-offs here as the company only reduced the bezels, retaining the lightweight build and solid aluminum of the watch. Furthermore, the quick-release button on the wristband makes it easier to swap straps and bands.
When it comes to under-the-hood improvements, Samsung introduced an Exynos W930 chipset to the smartwatch lineup that boosts the processor speed compared to the previous generation. It also gets bigger RAM at 2 GB and faster Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
Even with the relatively good battery life of the Galaxy Watch 5, they managed to extend the endurance of the Galaxy Watch 6 by incorporating a bigger battery capacity and optimized Wear OS 4 software. The latter also offers new features and customizations on top of rich health and fitness tracking capabilities.
