Three new Samsung wearables all codenamed ‘Heart’ surface, may be Galaxy Watch5
A new report surfaced from Galaxy Club with evidence of a new trio of smartwatches all carrying the codename “Heart”. It has not been confirmed whether ‘Heart’ is the actual codename for the unreleased Galaxy Watch 5, but the newly surfaced codenames Heart-S, Heart-L, and Heart-Pro lineup with a previous report that there would be a Pro variant of Samsung’s next smartwatch.
According to this report, Samsung might be shifting its strategy for the Galaxy Watch. The Galaxy Watch4 came in regular and “Classic” variants, but the Galaxy Watch Active2 is overdue for a successor. It is possible the Active wearable line may be dropped for a more unified smartwatch offering.
The Heart-S is the smallest version that’s either 40mm or 42mm with model number SM-R90X. Meanwhile, the Heart-L is a larger version that’s either 44mm or 46mm with model number SM-R19X. The Heart-Pro codename corroborates last month’s reports, but it is only available in one size.
The report doesn’t confirm that these are indeed Galaxy Watch 5 models, and we don’t know what the final naming scheme of Samsung’s new smartwatches will be yet.
Last month’s report revealed that the top-tier Galaxy Watch5 model will come with a 572 mAh battery , a significant step up from the Watch4 models. In any case, Samsung isn’t expected to announce a new Galaxy Watch until later this year, probably during its annual Unpacked event, normally sometime in August.
