Rumor: the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic display will be 10% larger

2023-04-04

The current Galaxy Watch5 (44mm) and Watch5 Pro (46mm) both have 1.4” displays with 450 x 450px resolution for a 321ppi pixel density. For the upcoming Watch6 series Samsung is not only bringing back the rotating bezel, it is also working on adding a larger display, says Ice Universe.

According to the leakster, the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic will have a 1.47” display and a higher resolution to account for the extra 0.07”. That may sound small, but a quick calculation shows that the new display will have 10% more surface area. As for the resolution, it should go up to 470 x 470px to maintain the same pixel density.

For comparison, the current 44mm Watch5 model has a 410mAh battery, while the 46mm Pro stands out with a 590mAh power cell. If you are holding on to an old 46mm Watch4 Classic, that one has a 1.4” display (450 x 450px) with a 361mAh battery.
