- The Samsung Exynos W980 is rumored to debut in the Galaxy Watch 6 series.
- This would be the follow-up to the Exynos W920, which launched in 2021.
- Allegedly, the new SoC could offer 10% higher performance.
Samsung Galaxy S phones get a new system on a chip (SoC) every year like clockwork. However, the same can’t be said about Samsung’s smartwatches. The most recent Galaxy Watch 5 series has the same SoC we saw on the Galaxy Watch 4 series from 2021.
Thankfully, it looks like the supposed Galaxy Watch 6 series landing later this year could get an upgrade. According to SamMobile, there could be a Samsung Exynos W980 in the works. This SoC would be the follow-up to the 2021 Samsung Exynos W920, the chip inside the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 models.
