Official announcementGalaxy z fold 4AndGalaxy z flip 4Before the Taiwan prices were announced, Samsung was the first to announce the Taiwan prices of its two wearable devices, the Galaxy Watch 5 series and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
The Galaxy Watch 5 series and Galaxy Buds2 Pro will be available for pre-order from August 8 to August 18 at Samsung Smart Stores, Samsung Mall and other channels across Taiwan, and are expected to be officially launched in Taiwan on September 8.
Among them, Galaxy Watch 5 will be launched in two versions: Bluetooth and LTE, and will be available in two sizes: 44mm and 40mm respectively. The 44mm model will be available in three colors: "Glacier Blue", "Phantom Black", and "Chenyao Silver". The suggested retail price of the Bluetooth version is NT$9990, and the suggested retail price of the LTE version is NT$11990. The 40mm model will be available in three colors: "Mist Pink", "Phantom Black", and "Chenyao Silver". The suggested retail price of the Bluetooth version is NT$8990, and the suggested retail price of the LTE version is NT$10990.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro also has two versions: Bluetooth and LTE. It is only available in 45mm style and comes in two colors: "Titanium Crystal Gray" and "Titanium Black". The suggested retail price of the Bluetooth version is NT$15990 and the suggested retail price of the LTE version is NT$17990.
As for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, they are available in three colors: Elf Purple, Phantom Black, and Dawn White, with a suggested retail price of NT$7490.
The biggest change in the new Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is that they abandon the previous physical bezel interface design and fully adopt a virtual bezel and touch operation. The surfaces of both watches are designed with sapphire glass, which is 60% or more than twice as hard as the previous generation of watches. At the same time, the watch bodies meet the US military standard MIL-STD2H certification. The Galaxy Watch 810 Pro's watch body is even made of titanium, which is 5 times harder than the aluminum watch body.
Both watches are powered by the Exynos W920 processor, and the new three-in-one BioActive sensor element at the bottom is more fitted than the previous generation, making measurement data more accurate. It can also measure heart rate and sleep quality, and analyze body composition ratios. It can also record more than 90 types of sports and fitness data, and the newly added body temperature measurement function can also help you better understand your physical condition.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro still retains the jewelry box-like concept design, but the earphones themselves are 15% smaller, making them easier to wear and use. They also support IPX7 level waterproof and dustproof.
The sound output has been upgraded to 24-bit Hi-Fi quality, delivering greater detail than the 16-bit output used in the previous Galaxy Buds Pro. It also supports Dolby Atmos for 360-degree surround sound and can simulate 5.1 or 7.1 channels. For audio, three high-signal-to-noise ratio microphones have been added, reducing ambient noise by approximately 40% and improving wind noise immunity by 2x compared to the previous version.
