Both have standard 20mm sized bands. The 44mm model is priced at USD 300, while the 44mm one at USD 280.
Samsung’s new smartwatch features Super AMOLED displays with 360 x 360 resolution, Gorilla Glass DX+, an Exynos 9110 processor, 768MB RAM, 4GB storage, wireless charging, 5ATM water resistance, IP68 rating, and runs on Tizen OS. They also have Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC.
The 44mm version comes with a 1.4-inch sized screen and a 340mAh battery, while the 40mm version with a 1.2-inch screen and a 247mAh battery.
