According to the latest leak of the galaxy watch 5should use the whole range of sapphire crystal for the display. Roland Quandt from WinFuture has released a series of official-looking promotional images showing the Galaxy Watch 5 from all angles, and these images show the standard base models, not the “Pro” model which has a thicker and slightly different design.
From previous leaks, the Galaxy Watch 5 in its base model was supposed to be basically the same as its predecessor from a hardware perspective, with the same processor, size and only a slight increase in battery capacity, but with this latest leak it is now clear that Samsung really sapphire crystal on the Galaxy Watch 5.
Anyway, sapphire crystal is not actually glass, but rather a kind of transparent ceramic just like traditional glass, the difference is that sapphire is much more resistant to scratches and other damage. The Apple Watch used sapphire for its stainless steel and titanium models, but still uses “IonX” glass, similar to Gorilla Glass, on its cheaper models.
Samsung will certainly offer a low-cost product in that regard, hoping it doesn’t turn out that the base Galaxy Watch 5 is only slightly more expensive than last year’s models. According to what we know, Samsung will officially unveil the Galaxy Watch 5 series tomorrow along with its new foldable and earbuds. The company now offers bookings on its website that offer up to $200 in additional credits when you retire these new devices.
