Samsung's next generation smartwatch looks set to be a fitness enthusiast's dream.
Leaks and revelations before the galaxy unpacked event
With the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event set for later this week, many are eager to see what new features the brand will unveil. While many leaks and rumors have already revealed much of the information, excitement is still palpable, especially around the new smartwatches. While the next iteration of the standard line isn't causing much of a stir, the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra looks set to make a splash.
An overview of internal innovations
Samsung has shared a video detailing its new BioActive sensor, which will be integrated into upcoming Galaxy Watch models. This sensor is designed to deliver enhanced preventative health experiences through technical innovations that enable more precise health insights.
Bioactive sensor improvements
Samsung engineers focused on three main improvements for the new sensor:
Benefits for the user
For the end user, these improvements mean better quality of health data collected, as well as more efficient operation. By optimizing the free space within the sensor, engineers have also improved battery life and thermal performance, allowing components to operate more efficiently.
Expected improvements for battery life
While this is speculation, it’s reasonable to assume that Samsung is looking to improve the battery life of its smartwatches. Despite generally outperforming competitors in terms of battery life, this is still a sticking point for smartwatch users. Any improvement in this area, while simultaneously helping other features, seems like a definite plus.
A promising future for the Galaxy Watch Ultra
There is of course no guarantee that the new sensor will be present on all models in the range. For a definitive confirmation, we will have to wait for the Galaxy Unpacked event. However, the announced improvements suggest a significant step forward for Samsung's smartwatches, especially for fitness and health tracking enthusiasts.
Stay tuned to discover all the new features and innovations that Samsung will bring to its smartwatches during this highly anticipated event.
