Soon..Galaxy watches will get micro-LED screens
Samsung is working on upgrading its smart watch screens, using “Micro LED” display technology.
OLED has been the display technology of choice for Samsung's high-end TVs, smartphones and even Android smart watches.
But there seems to be a superior technology on the rise in the display world: micro-LED, which offers some distinct upgrades, especially for wearables. Samsung's upcoming Galaxy watches could adopt this advanced technology.
Samsung's interest in Micro LED
Samsung has confirmed that it is considering incorporating this technology into its smart watch lineup. While the exact name of this next-generation model is still under wraps, it is not difficult to imagine what Samsung is planning, and it seems that the Korean company is preparing to compete with the next generation of Apple Watch Ultra with its own smart watch equipped with “Micro LED” technology. .
Samsung's interest in Micro LED comes on the heels of rumors that Apple may also look to this technology in future Apple Watch Ultra models.
This could be a game-changer for Samsung smartwatches. While its current models are competitive with Apple's offerings, the company has not yet introduced a smart watch that can compete with the Apple Watch Ultra.
Launching a new series of smart watches equipped with a “Micro LED” screen will be a bold step from Samsung, and a major leap in smart watch display technology.
The Micro LED screen outperforms OLED watches thanks to its superior brightness, contrast ratio, and color accuracy. But the real game-changer is visibility under direct sunlight, a crucial factor for a device that can be worn outdoors. Micro LED is also more energy efficient than OLED, which means your smart watch can last longer without having to recharge at night.
There is no official release date for the Samsung smart watch equipped with “Micro LED” technology yet, according to what was reported by the “Android Police” website.
