Hardware

The wearable is powered by the same Exynos W920 chipset that also powered the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. It’s a 5nm SoC with two Arm Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.18GHz and a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU.

The device comes with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB internal storage.

Health and Features

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 comes with Samsung’s BioActive Sensor, which was introduced on the Galaxy Watch 4 series. The sensor can measure optical heart rate, electrical heart signal (ECG), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Sadly, the ECG feature is not yet available in Nepal.

The Watch 5 series also introduces a temperature sensor that uses infrared technology for measuring body temperature. Like before, it can monitor sleep stages and sleep patterns, along with snore detection and blood oxygen levels.

If the user trips, the Samsung Galaxy Watch’s fall detection will notify the emergency contact if there is a network connection.

Software

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 runs on One UI Watch 4.5 on top of Google’s Wear OS 3.5. Deezer and Soundcloud will soon be available on the new Wear OS, allowing for music listening from the watch without the need for a phone nearby.

Later this year, Google will push a feature that lets you use Google Maps on the watch without the need for a smartphone.

Connectivity and Battery

The smartwatch supports Bluetooth 5.2 and dual-band Wi-Fi 4 for connectivity. It also has NFC and support for GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo.

As for the battery, the Watch 5 has a 13% larger battery than the Galaxy Watch 4. The 44mm model has a 410mAh battery, whereas the 40mm has a 284mAh battery.

It also supports faster wireless charging. Samsung claims in around 30 minutes, the watch’s battery can go from 0% to 45%. With just eight minutes of charging, Samsung says that the watch can provide eight hours of sleep tracking.
