Someone knows if it is true that the new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will not be able to charge with the shared battery mode of your phone.

I haven't seen anything about that and I'm constantly here and reddit. Where did you read that?

That will be very sad because it would mean we are going backwards.

If I recall correctly, starting with the Watch 7, they had to remove the Wireless Power Share feature due to the new sensors in the watch. I can also confirm that the Watch 8 doesn’t include this feature.

Wow that does disappoint me. I use it frequently and I have already done my pre-order for Warch 8.

It’s because of the new sensors which prevent the watch from using WPS

I already received the Warch 8 classic and it is much smaller than the Warch 6 Classic and definitely no longer has the wireless Power share.
