Popular tipster Evan Blass has shared the complete renders of the alleged Samsung Galaxy Watch5 via 91Mobiles. The leaks reveal two models of the upcoming Samsung smartwatch at a 360-degree angle. Here, the two models are reportedly called the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro and the regular Watch5 vanilla model.

The tipster states the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the more premium of the two and will cost more. The Pro smartwatch also looks a lot like the predecessor Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic. The tipster states the upcoming Samsung Pro smartwatch is currently codenamed Project X and will debut in a black or grey titanium finish.

Additionally, the rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro will have the option of LTE radios for standalone cellular broadband. There could also be a slightly cheaper model without this support. Apart from the Pro model, Samsung will also launch the regular Galaxy Watch5, which will have a few trimmed-down features and a cheaper price tag.

Here, the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 base model will have a more expansive color palette than the Pro model, suggests the tipster. And just like the Pro variant, the vanilla model will also have LTE or Bluetooth models for buyers to choose from. We can also expect two size models for the base Samsung Galaxy Watch5.
