Samsung’s leaked Galaxy Watch 9 lineup points to bigger batteries across three models, topped by a 784mAh Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and 382mAh and 435mAh cells in the 40mm and 44mm Watch 9.
The same leaks say the watches will use a Snapdragon Elite chip aimed at smoother animations, faster app response and better power management rather than relying only on larger batteries.
India’s BIS has already certified the batteries for three models, suggesting development is advanced and a launch could be approaching in the coming months.
The combination of certification and ongoing testing indicates Samsung is refining both hardware and software as it tries to address a core smartwatch pain point: frequent recharging.
Can a powerful new chip and multi-day battery finally help Samsung dethrone the Apple Watch as the industry leader?
Beyond a five-day battery, can Samsung’s new AI chip make its next smartwatch an indispensable personal assistant?
