Summary

  • A new leak points to Samsung launching a redesigned Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 with a boxier body, thinner bezels and upgraded side buttons, while reportedly skipping a Galaxy Watch 9 Classic this year.
  • Software renders and leak details also suggest new bands, watch faces and color options across the Watch 9 and Ultra 2 lineup, including black-blue, silver-green and a beige base-model variant.
  • The Ultra 2 is tipped to carry a 784mAh battery, while the Galaxy Watch 9 may use a 382mAh cell; regulatory filings indicate charging speeds are unlikely to improve.
  • Samsung has already confirmed its next Galaxy Watch will use a Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, and the new models are expected to debut at a rumored July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event in London.
