In 2022 Samsung could add a new smartwatch to the Galaxy Watch range, and it seems that the South Korean giant has changed its mind regarding the in-display fingerprint sensor on its new generation of foldable smartphones.
An alleged Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 “Pro” comes up with a huge battery
According to Sammobile, the South Korean giant is also working on a Pro version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (SM-R925) that could be equipped with a 572 mAh battery that would increase the capacity of the 361 mAh battery of the Samsung Galaxy by almost 60%. Watch4.
It seems that the company is trying to improve the autonomy of its entire series of smartwatches, in fact, the other two models would also be receiving battery upgrades, however, it remains to be seen how the company will manage to contain the size. Unfortunately, the sources do not 100% confirm that this supposed Pro version will actually be released.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 would have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner
According to the latest rumors, Samsung will unveil its fourth-generation foldable smartphones in the third quarter of this year, however, a new report from Business Korea says that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 will not offer an in-display fingerprint sensor, such as previously hypothesized on the basis of a patent that Samsung had filed with WIPO.
Samsung would have changed its mind by opting for a fingerprint scanner integrated into the side power button on both upcoming models, a solution that would make more sense on foldable smartphones.
