Display – Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 vs Samsung Watch 5

The Samsung Galaxy watch 5 has an enormous super AMOLED display of 1.4 inches, with a resolution of 450 x 450 pixels and 321 PPI density. Sapphire crystal, which is always visible and scratch-resistant, protects the screen.

Based on some leaks, there will be a glass covering on the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro and 6, featuring sapphire crystal glass on the former and Gorilla Glass on the latter. With a titanium body and a 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display encased in sapphire crystal glass, the Galaxy Watch 6 Pro will undoubtedly be the most upscale model.

Operating System – Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 vs Samsung Watch 5

The Samsung Watch 5 runs on Android Wear OS 3.5 and One UI Watch 4.5, designed by Samsung. It’s lightning fast and highly accurate. The chipset is Exynos W920 (5 nm) with a Dual-core 1.18 GHz Cortex-A55 CPU and Mali-G68 GPU.

The Google Wear OS operating system will run on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Pro with Samsung’s One UI Watch software overlay. In other words, this implies that such smartwatches will only be able to pair with Android phones and that there will be no compatibility with iPhones.

Moreover, the good news is that Wear OS has evolved into a highly capable smartwatch operating system. It offers a huge selection of apps, watches faces (far more than Apple Watch), and, of course, watch face widgets.
