This year, Samsung launched its first “Ultra” smartwatch in an attempt to directly compete against the Apple Watch Ultra. The wearable offers the company’s most premium build and most accurate activity/health monitoring technology to date. Now, Samsung has released a pair of teardown images of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, showing off its internal components.
The images show that the Galaxy Watch Ultra has seven main components. These are: BioActive sensor, Rear Deco, Back Case, printed board assembly (PBA), Display, and Index Deco. While some are common among this type of device, there are others that deserve a special mention.
These are the key components of the Galaxy Watch Ultra
The new BioActive sensor stands out, especially among all the components. The company introduced some key improvements to make it more accurate than ever. However, although the Galaxy Watch 7 uses the same technology, the Watch Ultra’s version is more advanced. In comparison, the Watch Ultra’s sensor has up to 13 LEDs, while the Watch 7 has 4 LEDs.
So, basically, Samsung’s most premium smartwatch is capable of offering more reliable metrics. During the announcement of the BioActive sensor, the company claimed that it offers 30% more accuracy compared to the sensor on the Galaxy Watch 6 series. However, now that Samsung confirmed differences between the sensor implementation on its new-gen smartwatches, we don’t know if that claim applies to the Watch 7 as well.
The brand’s latest wearables also have differences in terms of construction. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra teardown shows off its titanium-made case. This makes it more resistant and durable compared to the stainless steel of the Watch 7. The PBA integrates the new Exynos W1000 chip with massive improvements in performance and efficiency. Samsung claims that it provides 3.4x single-core performance and 3.7x multi-core performance compared to the previous generation, all while consuming 30% less power.
Lastly, another notable component of the Galaxy Watch Ultra is its display with up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. This means you shouldn’t have any problems using it even under bright sunlight.
