Here’s our very first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus
So far, 2022 has been a year of iterative updates for much of Samsung’s portfolio, and the Galaxy Watch 5 is perhaps the best example of that. Looking at the Galaxy Watch 5 and its predecessor side by side, it’s difficult to tell what’s different. Both smartwatches have the same chipset, nearly identical designs, similar health features, etc. But look a little closer, and you start to see what makes the Galaxy Watch 5 tick. It boasts a larger battery, faster charging, a more durable design, and improved accuracy for health tracking. None of these are groundbreaking upgrades, but they once again prove that Samsung is among the best in the business for Wear OS watches. The iterative nature of the Galaxy Watch 5 is seen immediately in its design. The Galaxy Watch 5 comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes, with my review unit being the former. The only real physical difference with the Watch 5 is the 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor on the bottom, which is larger than before to get you more accurate health da...- Lightweight, comfortable design
- Robust health tracking
- AMOLED screen looks excellent
- Easy access to Google apps
- Very fast charging speeds
- Skin temperature tracking not yet available
- Falls short of battery life claims
Your Samsung smartwatch will soon get a lifesaving health feature

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (40MM, Pink Gold) - Excellent review
We’ve had a Samsung review blitz over the past two weeks, covering all the products the company announced at its recent Unpacked event. In my write-up of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro , I noted how understated the product line was, in contrast to its flash, bombastic foldables .
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Review: The Best Smartwatch For Your Money
The only smartwatch you should consider buying if you have an Android phone.- Google apps out of the box, Reasonable price, Snappy performance, Better fit thanks to curved sensor, Sapphire crystal glass for a more durable display
- Some health tracking features still only work with Samsung phones, Battery life upgrade is minimal, No rotating bezel
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 (40MM, Pink Gold) - Excellent review
The Galaxy Watch 5 is a well-priced Android smartwatch option that works best with Samsung phones but loses blood pressure and ECG features on other Android phones. It’s a solid option but there’s little market competition, and the digital bezel and battery life disappoint.- Competitively priced, Comfortable design, Solid activity tracking, Tons of features
- Erratic battery life, Non-Samsung phones lose features, Awkward digital bezel, Very similar to Watch 4
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review: Still the Android king - Wareable
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 remains the best smartwatch for Android users, thanks to the improved Wear OS 3. But the changes between it and the Galaxy Watch 4 are so small that this isn't one to rush to upgrade to.- Good core smartwatch features, Bustling app store, Comfortable to wear, Some good fitness tracking elements
Awesome feature
Still working on, cause new user in Android system
Awesome Features
I like most of the features. Especially the steps.
