New leaks from a reliable source suggests Samsung is upping the Galaxy Watch6 display to 1.47-inches.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Samsungs rumored Galaxy Watch 6 might bring some significant design changes
to the series if the latest rumors are to be believed. The news this time around is that the devices watch face will have a smaller bezel to increase the displays size.

This information comes from renowned industry leaker Ice Universe on Twitter who claims the screen size on the Galaxy Watch 6 is 100 percent confirmed to be 1.47 inches, up from the Galaxy Watch 5's 1.4-inch display. As a result, the resolution will subsequently be improved, leading to a better "screen proportion". When asked on Twitter if there will also be a better-performing Pro version, Ice Universe stated there will be Galaxy Watch 6 Classic model but didn't elaborate.

You may be wondering, Does seven-hundredths of an inch really make that big
of an impact? It kind of does, actually. Bigger screens mean easier interactivity, after all.

We also have reason to suspect Samsung is taking a page out of Apples smartwatch playbook. For example, if you compare the now-aging Apple Watch 6 and 2021's Watch 7 , you'll notice both devices are fundamentally the same,
at least internally. The biggest difference is the latter has a 20 percent larger screen at 1.9 inches versus the Apple Watch 6s 1.78-inch display (the Apple Watch 8 also has a 1.9-inch display). A relatively minor difference; however if you compare the two side-by-side, the Watch 7 display is
noticeably larger and apps look less squished on it. Hardware upgrade

Granted, the size difference between the two Apple Watches is greater than
the purported Galaxy Watch increase. But its still, potentially a decent upgrade and you cant beat having better resolution. Our main concern is the battery life, though Samsung may have a solution for that. According to
recent reports , the Galaxy Watch 6 will have either a 300mAh or a 425mAh battery to feed the more power-hungry screen. As for other design changes,
Ice Universe stated back in February that the Galaxy Watch 6 will have a curved glass screen similar to the Google Pixel Watch .

Samsung, so far, has yet to reveal anything official about its new smartwatch so take this information with a grain of salt. Hopefully, the company resurrects the rotating bezel as seen on the Galaxy Watch 3 . A release date for the Galaxy Watch 6 remains a mystery; although if history is any indicator, expect an August launch.
