Samsung Galaxy Watch5 will have faster charging

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 will charge a lot more quickly than its predecessor, according to the latest leak. Tipster SnoopyTech claims Samsung is packing a 10W magnetic charger with the wearable, meaning the peak charging rate will be twice as high as that of the Watch4.
