Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is set to debut with a 784 mAh battery—marketed as 800 mAh—and about 3.5 days of battery life, up from 2.5 days on the original model.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite replaces Samsung’s Exynos chip for the first time in the Galaxy Watch line, delivering a claimed 48% performance gain plus stronger GPU and NPU capabilities.
Connectivity options vary by region: the US and South Korea get only a cellular model with 5G, while Europe and other markets also get a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi version and 4G cellular.
Samsung keeps the Ultra’s rugged design but leaves out the rotating bezel, reserving that feature for the Classic lineup as it sharpens product-tier differences.
The watch is expected to launch at Samsung’s July 22 Unpacked event alongside new foldable devices, with smaller Galaxy Watch 9 models also getting battery upgrades.
