Samsung's rumored Galaxy Watch Ultra could challenge the Apple Watch Ultra 
with a new Micro LED display

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Samsung is reportedly working on a Galaxy Watch Ultra to rival the Apple 
Watch Ultra 2 , and it could be the first Samsung smartwatch to use a Micro 
LED display. 

This new display type would replace the OLED currently used by Galaxy Watches 
(such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 ) and offers a handful of upgrades. 
Chiefly, the use of inorganic materials should eliminate any issues related 
to burn-in that can appear in OLEDs during extended use. 

This display would also be ultra-thin, as it apparently doesnt require a 
backlight or color filter, which could either make a Galaxy Watch Ultra 
slimmer than its predecessors or make room for improved sensors and new 
hardware. 

The latter seems likely, as beyond this impressive screen the Samsung Galaxy 
Watch Ultra would reportedly boast an improved feature-set compared to whats 
currently offered by the regular Galaxy Watch; however, there arent any 
details on exactly what these enhancements might be (via GizmoChina ). 

If the Galaxy Watch Ultra takes inspiration from the Apple Watch Ultra, the 
sorts of upgrades we can expect would include an improved chipset, a rugged 
design thats suited to more intense adventures (such as diving), and improved 
battery life, so that you can wear the watch for longer between charges. 

Much like the Apple Watch Ultra and its successor, which you can learn more 
about in our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review , we should expect the high-end 
Samsung wearable to cost a fair bit more than the regular models, if it does 
indeed exist. A Galaxy Watch Ultra on the way? The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Well have to wait and see if the Galaxy Watch Ultra materializes, but it 
seems plausible that a high-end Galaxy smartwatch is on the way. Samsung has 
yet to unveil a Galaxy Watch 6 Pro, leaving the last-generation Galaxy Watch 
5 Pro to face off against the Apple Watch Ultra 2. 

While the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is impressive, it doesnt quite compete with the 
high-performance design and features delivered by the Watch Ultra 2. While 
thats to be expected from a device thats older and costs less, Samsung may 
feel that its devices are playing second fiddle to Apples wearables. 

A new Galaxy Watch Ultra should give Apple a better run for its money, and 
finally give Android users access to the kind of premium performance 
previously exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. You might also like I've worn
