The next Samsung Galaxy Watch could offer surprising battery life.
It is reported that Samsung is developing a new battery technology that could revolutionize the industry.
The latest version of the Galaxy Watch has a battery life of approximately one day, although this time may vary depending on how the device is used. This figure represents a decrease compared to the performance of the Galaxy Watch 6. Despite being an innovative device, there are areas that could benefit from improvements, prompting speculation that Samsung is experimenting with new battery technology for its wearable devices.
Recently, it was reported that Samsung has developed an entirely new battery known as the "sleep battery," which is an ultra-small solid-state device. This technology is expected to be used first in the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch, with mass production beginning in the first half of 2026. The solid-state battery is projected to have an energy density of 200Wh/L, positioning it among the most efficient in the industry, allowing a one-liter battery to provide 100 watts of power for one hour. With higher energy density, the battery capacity increases, which is an attractive feature, especially for wearable devices that face challenges in meeting daily demands.
In addition to the higher capacity, solid-state batteries offer more advantages. They charge much faster than traditional batteries and come in various design shapes, making them well-suited for wearable technology. Meanwhile, Apple is also working on similar advancements, as a battery supplier recently reported its own progress. This has sparked a race among companies to see who will be the first to commercialize this battery technology. Whichever company manages to launch this battery to the market will gain a significant advantage, primarily benefiting users, who will experience less charging time and longer durations between charges.
On another note, it has been announced that the Samsung Galaxy Ring will receive its first update since its launch in July. Although there have not been many updates about this device, the update, which occupies less than one megabyte, is expected to include improvements in Bluetooth connectivity and Samsung Health, although specific details have not yet been revealed.
In the realm of smartphones, it is anticipated that the Galaxy S25, the next installment of Samsung's successful S line, will be launched next year, while the Galaxy S24 FE is projected to see a price increase at launch, set at $649, a $50 increase compared to the previous model.
