The first information about the Galaxy Watch 8, which is expected to introduce with its new foldable phones in July, began to become clear. The new model has emerged especially with a small but remarkable change in battery capacity. Although there is a slight increase compared to Watch 7, this difference can make a significant contribution in daily use.
According to the information in the certification documents in South Korea, the 44 mm version of the Galaxy Watch 8 will have a 435 mAh battery. This value represents an increase of 10 mAh compared to the 425 mAh battery in the same size version of the Galaxy Watch 7. This increase, which looks small on paper, can turn into a longer battery life with software and hardware improvements.
In addition to all these, Samsung is estimated to not offer this increase alone. It is expected that the effect of this capacity increase with an optimized One UI Watch interface on the software side and the optimized on the software side are expected to be implemented. In particular, the preferred components with low power consumption can make this small difference of 10 MAH more meaningful.
Although the technical details of the Watch 8 have not yet emerged, the battery capacity has already become clear, has already begun to shape user expectations. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic model is also mentioned. However, there is no official information about the battery capacity of the classic version. In this model, a similar increase has been made.
Although 10 mAh seems to be a lower value, such small changes in smart watches can contribute to a few hours of use. This can offer practical advantages, especially in active use or travel. On the other hand, the filling time and general energy efficiency of the battery are among the determining elements in the user experience.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 can also offer innovations on the software side
In addition to hardware innovations in its new model, Samsung can offer improvements on the software side. There are rumors that the Watch 8 can come with a sacking set that consumes less energy like Exynos W940. Such a processor selection may not only extend the battery time, but also make performance more stable.
However, improvements in hardware components such as screen panels and sensors will also directly contribute to battery performance. Samsung is known to use technologies that reduce power consumption on AMOLED screens. If the same approach is maintained in Watch 8, users may face a longer use.
Although the Galaxy Watch 8 will be introduced in July, the release date of the product is not yet clear. Looking at the calendar in the previous years, it is quite possible that the new model will take its place in stores in the summer months. In this process, information about different versions may also come to light.
