Samsung Revives Galaxy Watch 9 Classic With 35% Bigger Battery as Charging Stays at 10W

3 articles · Updated · Geeky Gadgets · Jun 13

Summary

  • Wear OS code references point to a Galaxy Watch 9 Classic return, suggesting Samsung may add it to a lineup expected to include the Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2.
  • New features tipped for the series include a wrist-activated “raise to talk” assistant and an AI-driven health app that groups data into five categories including vitals and heart-health scores.
  • Battery capacity is rumored to rise sharply — up 35% on the Watch Ultra 2 and 23% on the 40mm Watch 9 — but charging appears stuck at 10W.
  • That trade-off could blunt enthusiasm, especially with the Classic missing from recent certification filings and Samsung still unclear on whether some new features will reach older Galaxy Watch models.
