Galaxy Watch 9 Leaks Show 40mm and 44mm Models as Samsung Adds New Health Features

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Jun 23

Summary

  • New leaked renders show Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 9 in 40mm and 44mm sizes, with light and dark silver finishes, a near-black case option and only minor design tweaks.
  • Images shared by leakers also point to new software features, including trail-run tracking, updated Samsung Health markers and a new watch face for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
  • The hardware refresh appears modest: Samsung keeps its "circle on a square" design, while changing the default band, softening the brushed-metal look and using a plastic underside finish similar to the Watch 8.
  • The leaks did not confirm rumored price increases or a Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, leaving those details speculative ahead of Samsung’s official launch.
