While we still don\u2019t know all the nitty-gritty details about Samsung\u2019s next-gen smartwatches, recent FCC filings hint that you can expect at least one big update: faster charging.<\/p>\n

FCC filings don\u2019t reveal too much in terms of features, but they are a good indicator that a product is getting close to launch. The filings were first spotted by 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> and indicate there\u2019ll be three models dubbed the SM-R900<\/a>, the SM-R910<\/a>, and the SM-R920<\/a>. They also confirm basic connectivity specs, like the fact that the watches will support Bluetooth, 2.4 and 5Ghz Wi-Fi, and contactless payments. But as far as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 lineup goes, the most eye-catching thing is that the watches can charge at 10W speeds. For context, the Galaxy Watch 4 only supports half that. <\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4<\/a> majorly disappointed when it came to battery life. Despite Samsung promising 40 hours of battery life, the Galaxy Watch 4 lineup struggles to get beyond a full day if you enable all the bells and whistles, like the always-on display. And in The Verge\u2019s <\/em>testing, it only got worse once Google Assistant finally arrived<\/a> for Wear OS 3 last month.<\/p>\n

Adding fast charging could help Samsung dodge similar complaints if the new watches also need daily power-ups \u2014 especially since the Galaxy Watch 4 takes around two hours to go from zero to 100 percent. It\u2019s a feature that also already exists on many other smartwatches. Fossil added fast charging several years ago to its Wear OS watches, and Apple introduced fast charging on its Series 7<\/a> watch last year. <\/p>\n

Besides user complaints, there are lots of reasons why Samsung might be prioritizing a better battery experience. For starters, sleep tracking. Samsung \u2014 and Apple \u2014 have tended to lag behind in this area compared to Fitbit and other fitness trackers because their smartwatches often can\u2019t make it through the night without a quick recharge before bed. Sleep tracking isn\u2019t everyone\u2019s number one priority, but it is an increasingly popular feature and an area that Samsung seems to be interested in. In February, it expanded its sleep tracking features with a coaching program<\/a>. That said, it\u2019s hard to make a splash if your sleep tracking device can\u2019t make it \u2018til morning.<\/p>\n

Another reason may be due to the all-but-confirmed \u201cPro\u201d version<\/a> of the Galaxy Watch 5. This watch is rumored to sport a 572mAh battery<\/a> and charging that, at 5W speeds, would be turtle-like by today\u2019s standards. The standard Galaxy Watch 5 models are also rumored to have larger batteries this time around. The Galaxy Watch 4\u2019s two-hour charging time already wasn\u2019t ideal, and stretching charging times beyond that would be a major misstep. <\/p>\n
