Update: October 8, 2020 (3:20 AM ET): Honor has launched two new smartwatches in India. The Honor Watch GS Pro and Honor Watch ES were first announced at IFA 2020 and will go on sale in India through Flipkart and Amazon, respectively. Both smartwatches promise battery life for days and offer different designs to choose from. You can read more about their specs and features in the original article below.

The Honor Watch GS Pro is priced at Rs. 17,999 (~$245) and will be available starting October 16. The Honor Watch ES comes in cheaper at Rs. 7,499 (~$102) and will go on sale starting October 17.

Original article: October 2, 2020 (7 AM ET): Honor launched its new smartwatch duo in Europe in early September. Now, the company has confirmed on Twitter that both will be introduced to India shortly. While the Honor Watch GS Pro and Honor Watch ES appeal to two vastly different audiences, they both focus primarily on fitness.

For starters, the more rugged Watch GS Pro packs a 1.39-inch circular AMOLED display tucked into a polycarbonate body. The GS Pro is also MIL-STD-810G tested, sports 5 ATM water resistance, and includes a 790mAh battery. That provides around 16 days between charges, based on our review.

As with many wearables launched in 2020, there’s an SpO2 sensor to keep tabs on the wearer’s blood saturation levels, while 95 workout modes are probably too many for one to realistically use. And if you’re frequently walking the road less traveled, the watch has a nifty offline way-back feature that can help the wearer retrace steps. Onboard GPS is also available.

The Watch ES meanwhile features a rectangular body with a 1.64-inch AMOLED display. Although the battery reportedly lasts just 10 days in comparison, a 70% top-up takes a quoted 30 minutes. Honor’s also cramming 95 workout modes into the ES, while an SpO2 monitor, heart-rate sensor, and stress monitoring system also feature.

Honor India is yet to quote pricing info for both, but we can hedge our bets based on European stickers. The Watch GS Pro debuted at £250 (~$293) in the UK, with the Watch ES coming in around £150 (~$176) cheaper. Tech prices in India are regularly lower than European pricing, so expect both devices to come in a little cheaper than this.

More details will be announced on October 8 at 12 PM IST (2:30 AM ET), but Honor confirms the Watch GS Pro will be sold on Flipkart. The Watch ES, meanwhile, will debut on Amazon India.

Elon Musk reveals Berlin-made Tesla Model Y will get its new batteries first

Tesla head honcho Elon Musk revealed in a tweet that the company is working on new, more efficient EV batteries that it aims to begin using in its upcoming Gigafactory near Berlin. Musk noted that when the Berlin plant — which will likely open next year — will use a larger cylindrical 4680 format cell in its new structural battery pack. The company had unveiled this cell design at its recent Battery Day event last month. We’d previously learned that this fourth Gigafactory is slated to begin producing a revamped Model Y with a “radical redesign” of its “core technology”…

We asked, you told us: You prefer the Galaxy 20 FE over other S series flagships

The Galaxy S20 FE is Samsung’s latest attempt to lure flagship buyers who don’t want to spend $1,000 on a premium phone. In our review of the phone, we noted that it delivers superb value, a great design, and speedy performance, all for a price starting at $599. The good news is Samsung has decided to launch a Fan Edition version of its flagship models every year.

All these factors got us thinking if you would actually prefer buying Samsung’s Fan Edition phones over other Galaxy S flagships. Here’s how you voted in our poll.

Which Samsung flagship model do you see yourself buying?

Results

A total of 1,236 Android Authority readers voted on the topic, of which a resounding 58.5% said that they would buy the Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition over any other S series phone. If we were to apply these poll results to the current Galaxy S20 series phones, it sure looks like a majority of our readers would buy the Galaxy S20 FE instead of any other phone in the lineup.

Meanwhile, many respondents also voted in favor of the vanilla Galaxy S series phone. In today’s terms, that would be the Samsung Galaxy S20. The results probably reflect that some people aren’t looking to spend over $1,000 for a Samsung flagship but prefer the upgrades they get in a standard S series flagship over the Fan Edition.

The Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Ultra models got the least number of votes in our poll — 12.4% and 8.2%, respectively. Currently, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is 45% more expensive than the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition. That probably explains why it’s got so few takers in our poll. The base S20 Plus variant was also over $1,000 ($1,199 to be exact) when the poll went out. However, the phone is currently selling for the same $999 price as the vanilla S20. So those looking to get the Galaxy S20 right now should consider getting the S20 Plus without having to pay more.

Your comments

• Anthorama: They launch phones starting at 1000e and then worry about sales. How ironic is that?
• Phillip: Samsung has phones in every price range, so not sure what you are complaining about. All the flagship phones are $1,000 now, even OnePlus.
• Shizuma: I haven’t been interested in a Samsung phone since the Note 9. Everything past that is full of compromises and sky-high prices. The compromises are purposely damaged screens with holes in them for no reason other than a useless screen-to-body ratio number, a lack of a headphone jack, a massive camera tumor slapped on the back of the phones like an afterthought, and on some models, no SD card storage, and going further back no IR blaster. Basically, it’s a lot more money for a bunch of features I couldn’t care less about and missing features I do care about.
• Gianluca Di Maggio: Well, for Europeans, it seems to be the only good way to get their phones with a Snapdragon. In this case (S20 and variants), it more than just a nice alternative with how plagued the Exynos 990 was.

That’s it for this week! Thanks as usual for all the votes and comments. Give us your thoughts on the poll and its results in the comments section.
