The downside is that you mainly need to have an Apple phone for it.

is working on a Galaxy Watch Ultra to compete with the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and <strong>it could be Samsung&#8217;s first smartwatch to use a Micro LED display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new type of display would replace the OLED used in current Galaxy Watches (such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6) and offers a handful of improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Upcoming Samsung smartwatches tipped to feature Micro LED displays, starting with Galaxy Watch Ultra <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/C27plEPjQO\">https:\/\/t.co\/C27plEPjQO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; 91mobiles (@91mobiles) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/91mobiles\/status\/1714242262949904438?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Micro LED over OLED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Primarily, the use of inorganic materials should eliminate any issues related to burn-ins that can occur on OLEDs during prolonged use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This display would also be ultra-thin, as it apparently doesn&#8217;t need backlighting or a color filter, which could make the <strong>Galaxy Watch Ultra thinner than its predecessors or create room for enhanced sensors and new hardware<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter seems likely since, in addition to this impressive display, the <strong>Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra would feature an array of improved functions<\/strong> compared to what the regular Galaxy Watch currently offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Galaxy Watch Ultra takes inspiration from the Apple Watch Ultra, the improvements we can expect might include an enhanced chipset, a rugged design suited for more intense adventures (such as diving), and longer battery life, allowing you to wear the watch for a more extended period between charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar to the Apple Watch Ultra and its successor, <strong>it&#8217;s reasonable to expect that Samsung&#8217;s high-end wearable would cost considerably more than the regular models<\/strong>, if it indeed comes into existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Does the Apple Watch Ultra use REAL Sapphire!? - (Plus

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is clear is that we will have to wait and see if the Galaxy Watch Ultra materializes, but it seems plausible that a high-end Galaxy smartwatch is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samsung has not yet unveiled a Galaxy Watch 6 Pro, allowing the latest-generation Galaxy Watch 5 Pro to compete with the Apple Watch Ultra 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-galaxy-watch-sleep-apnea-function-will-reach-its-final-phase-very-soon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is impressive<\/a>, it doesn&#8217;t quite match the high-performance design and features offered by the Watch Ultra 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is to be expected from a device that is older and costs less, but Samsung may feel that its devices are playing a secondary role compared to Apple&#8217;s wearables. <strong>In the smartwatch market, Apple has been the leader since 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div
