Galaxy Watch5 a Watch5 Pro are some of the best smartwatches on the market. It is running on the latest version of the system Wear OS, they have a very fast processor and a great set of health and fitness tracking features. However, this does not mean that they are perfect. Samsung should introduce their successor with a likely name this year Galaxy Watch6. Here are five things that we would in the next his Galaxy Watch they liked to see.

Physical rotating bezel

One of the biggest changes to the series Galaxy Watch5 was the removal of the physical rotating bezel. On older ones Galaxy Watch it was a popular feature and we weren't the only ones who regretted its "cutting". Its use is very addictive (controlling a smart watch not only through the display is simply something), but more importantly, it is more reliable than the capacitive touch frame. AT Galaxy Watch6, we would therefore welcome the return of the physical rotating bezel.

Longer battery life

Galaxy Watch5 improved battery life over the previous generation, promising up to 50 hours on a single charge. Although the battery life is definitely better than the u Galaxy Watch4, it is quite far from the "paper" value. Our experience shows that Galaxy Watch5 lasts a day to a day and a half on average (with activity tracking and GPS on).

If you want true multi-day battery life, you'll need to look at the Pro model, but it has a more robust design, which may not suit some. Whether through a larger battery, a more efficient chipset, or a combination of both, Samsung should figure out how to Galaxy Watch6 increase battery life.

Fingerprint reader

The fingerprint sensor is a feature that many Samsung smartwatch fans have long wanted. Since apps like Google Wallet require security measures like a PIN or gesture, a fingerprint sensor would help speed up the unlocking process. We wouldn't really care if it was a sub-display sensor or a sensor located on the side (perhaps between two side buttons). However, we fear that this feature is more music of the more distant future.

Software changes

When it comes to software, Galaxy Watch5 have one of the best user interfaces you can find on a smartwatch. Even in it, however, there is sometimes a quirk that can be annoying or limiting. One of the main reasons to have a smartwatch as an extension of your smartphone is for notifications. AT Galaxy WatchHowever, 5 can often be delayed or simply not arrive at all. While this may be a minor problem for many, we hope Samsung can fix it in the Galaxy Watch6 to fix.

In addition, Samsung has some health monitoring features that are still limited to its smartphones. For example, in order to use the ECG measurement function, you need to use the Samsung Health Monitor application, which with others androidour phones than Galaxy doesn't work

Camera

The camera on a smart watch is not exactly a common feature. We can find it mainly in children's watches, where it is used so that parents can easily stay in touch with their children. Samsung has already "made" cameras on smart watches before, but the implementation was - to put it mildly - cumbersome.

In the virtual space, there have been reports recently that Meta is working on a smartwatch with a camera for video calls. Smart watches already allow you to send "texts" and make calls, so the only thing missing is video calls. If anyone can make this a reality, it's Samsung. And given its relationship with Google, companies could for watches with the system Wear OS potentially launch the video communication service Google Meet.
