Samsung’s next family of Galaxy Watch5 wearables will be more expensive than the Watch4 devices launched last year, at least at the time of release. That is, should a new rumor emerge on the matter. It comes from the usually reliable Roland Quandt (famous from OnLeaks), however, there is a higher probability of accuracy here than usual.
We see. The Galaxy Watch5 40mm Bluetooth will retail for only € 300, while the LTE model will go for € 350. The Galaxy Watch5 44mm Bluetooth-only model will be priced at € 350, while its LTE-capable sibling will retail for € 400.
Finally, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will be available in one size: 45mm. In its Bluetooth-only iteration, it will cost € 490, while if you add LTE you will have to pay € 540. The Pro will be available in black and titanium. The 40mm Watch5 will be offered in rose gold, gray and silver, while the 44mm Watch5 color versions are blue, gray and silver.
Samsung Galaxy Watch4
For comparison, note that the price of the 40mm Galaxy Watch4 was € 270 with Bluetooth only and € 320 with LTE, so here we are looking at a price increase of € 30. The 44mm Galaxy Watch4 costs € 300 MSRP only with Bluetooth and € 350 with LTE, so this will experience a € 50 price increase.
The 46mm Galaxy Watch4 Classic, which will be replaced by the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, can be purchased for € 400 (Bluetooth) or € 450 (LTE). This means that the upcoming model will cost € 90 more than its predecessor.
These price increases are quite something if you calculate them in percentage points and they definitely won’t make potential customers happy. It remains to be seen how many people will be willing to pay extra for the alleged improvements in battery life.
