The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch iv may be shaping up to be the most convincing competitor yet to the equally rumored Apple tree Spotter 7. That's because a new unofficial tip suggests Samsung'south next-gen smartwatch will boast an ballsy seven-day bombardment life — a calendar week'southward worth of power.

According to a report from WinFuture, the Samsung Galaxy Sentinel 4 battery life could be rated for up to seven days of use on one charge. Nosotros don't know yet whether the Apple tree Scout 7 will finally surpass the 18 hours we've settled with for several years at present. Either manner it's unlikely the battery life of Apple tree'due south supposedly upcoming smartwatch will come close to matching that of the Galaxy Watch 4, if this recent rumor is true.

In the by, the Galaxy Scout'southward bombardment life could beat the Apple tree Sentry'due south by several days, simply Samsung has since lowered expectations. The original Samsung Galaxy Watch lasted an impressive four days, but the slimmer Samsung Milky way Lookout Active two battery life maxed out at 60 hours, or near 2.5 days.

Then when nosotros tested the Samsung Galaxy Sentry 3, one of the best smartwatches and height Apple Watch half dozen rival right now, we couldn't go 24 hours without recharging. Samsung rated its most recent smartwatch for upward to two days, but with consequent activity tracking and the always-on display setting enabled, we watched the battery life drain.

Thankfully, the downwardly battery life tendency could be coming to an finish. While many of the best Fitbit devices and best Garmin watches have weeklong battery lives, we've haven't seen a compelling Vesture Os smartwatch last every bit long. That said, the new Habiliment Bone promises better bombardment life for the side by side generation of Android smartwatches, probable starting with the Galaxy Spotter 4.

We're also guessing the rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 chipset has something to practise with the week-long battery life rumors. The expected Exynos W920 fleck could reportedly offering 1.25x faster processing compared to the Exynos 9110 in the Galaxy Watch 3, likewise as viii.8x smoother graphics performance.

The Apple Lookout man 7 is likely to receive a new chipset, as it has previously with each new model. The question is whether the latest Arrangement in a Package (SiP) will benefit battery life. One study suggests Apple tree will tap tech from its Taiwanese supplier ASE Applied science to brand a double-sided S7 processor.

In theory, this would free up some space inside Apple's sleek smartwatch — possibly for a larger bombardment. Some reports advise Apple tree may make the next Apple Watch slightly thicker to accommodate a bigger battery, too.

Still, it's unlikely the next Apple Picket would last a week on a unmarried charge. The series has never come close in the past. If anything, 18 hours may extend to an unabridged 24-60 minutes day battery life. The Galaxy Watch, at least, has managed a multi-solar day estimate before.

Samsung is expected to announce an official battery life estimate when it reveals the Galaxy Scout iv lineup during its Unpacked upshot on August eleven.
