Galaxy Watch 5: There may not be a Classic variant
Samsung is working to renew the smartwatch offer and the right time to do so could coincide with the summer, coinciding with the presentation of the new generation of foldables (Galaxy Fold 4 and Flip 4). On Galaxy Watch 5 has already accumulated a fair amount of rumors, the latest in order of time concerns the composition of the range. According to rumors provided by Sammobile, this year there may not be a Classic variant of the wearable. Samsung would then only launch the Galaxy Watch 5 and its Pro variant.
Also according to the source, Galaxy Watch 5 will be marketed in two sizes, while the Pro only in one cut – not to be excluded that this choice is linked to the need to integrate a battery of generous capacity that, as a counterbalance, increases the overall dimensions. It should be clarified if both will be equipped with the rotating bezel and if the loss of the classic version will be exclusively a formal matter – the prerogatives of these models, starting from the finishes and materials could in fact be transferred to the new Pro variant.
