Enhancement is equal to changes, and changes always consist of some risk. The new launch made by Samsung Galaxy of the wearable is Galaxy watch 5 Pro is also alongside several new interrogations.
Samsung changes and introduce
The new wrist strap design conflicts with one of the technologies that set Samsung apart from the competition: Wireless PowerShare. Samsung took that risk when it announced the new Galaxy Watch 5 and the step could work in its favor. But can ever observe negative parted as a company.
As it was in Galaxy S22 Ultra can lend energy to and recharge other devices — such as smartwatches — wirelessly without needing USB cables or a charger. The technology is called Wireless PowerShare and works through the wireless charging coil located under the smartphone’s back panel.
Although, the two Galaxy devices are needs to be in contact for wireless Power sharing. Unfortunately, the new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro strap design prevents this from happening, and as such, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro customers won’t be able to use Wireless PowerShare with most Galaxy smartphones (if not all) unless they remove the wrist strap from the smartwatch first.
It is good to have the new Galaxy Watch 5 Pro that has a generous battery and promises up to 80 hours of usage on a full battery. Samsung customers probably won’t find themselves needing Wireless PowerShare very often, but still, these design inconsistencies probably shouldn’t have existed in the first place. They make Wireless PowerShare seem like an afterthought when, in fact, it’s one of Samsung’s more unique features available for high-end mobile devices.
Standard Galaxy Watch 5 doesn’t facing this issue
Here as you are aware Galaxy Watch 5 Pro does support Wireless PowerShare, but you’ll have to go through some hoops and loops to activate it. It’s not like the technology is missing from the watch. It’s there, but it isn’t very practical due to its arguably poor implementation. Somehow we can say this looks like a design error and an oversight rather than an intended design feature, especially considering that the standard Galaxy Watch 5 design doesn’t have this problem and doesn’t impede Wireless PowerShare in any way.
The Galaxy Watch 5 borrows its design from the Galaxy Watch 4, whereas the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro represents a new take on the smartwatch formula. Samsung had to consider all the facets of changing the design language, but it appears to have forgotten about Wireless PowerShare. By the looks of it, no Samsung Galaxy smartphone equipped with Wireless PowerShare technology is narrow enough to allow the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro to sit comfortably on its back panel and recharge its battery. And needless to say, no firmware update will be able to address this design flaw.
Technology can still serve and could help Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and Galaxy flagship smartphone users in certain situations, but the Power Sharing process has been made more difficult.
Samsung will surely update with more changes, enhancements, and some incorporated risks. All you need to do connected with us.
