"According to a report in GoAndroid, the three Galaxy Watches are likely to come in 40mm, 44mm and 46mm variants. The SM-R900 Watch model will support Wifi, Bluetooth and NFC," IANS report said.

"The SM-R910 and SM-R920 Galaxy Watch 5 models will also offer the same connectivity options of WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity onboard, according to the FCC website," the report further added.

A wireless charger has also been spotted on the FCC database with model number EP-OR900. The top-end variant is likely to offers a 397mAh battery, while the other two variants may house 276mAh battery. The three models may be available in Phantom Black, Silver, Pink Gold, Black and Sapphire variations.

The 46mm Watch 5 Pro is tipped to come in Phantom Black and Silver colours. Samsung is set to deliver sapphire glass and a titanium build on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. A titanium build is not particularly common for most smartwatches, but it would certainly make for a premium build, earlier reports said.

The benefit of sapphire glass is that it is essentially scratch-proof, giving smartwatches that use the material excellent durability. The company may bring Galaxy Watch 5 with a thermometer, the report said.
