Summary

  • 784 mAh rated capacity—likely marketed as 800 mAh—has surfaced for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, a roughly 30% jump from the current Ultra’s 590-mAh cell.
  • 382 mAh is the leaked battery for the 40mm Galaxy Watch 9, up from 325 mAh, while official-looking images suggest both watches keep largely familiar designs ahead of Samsung’s Unpacked event.
  • A larger battery plus a rumored Snapdragon Wear Elite chip could push the Ultra 2 beyond the current model’s roughly 2.5-day runtime and make it a leading Wear OS battery contender.
  • Leaks also point to deeper health tracking and more on-device AI features, while no Galaxy Ring 2 has surfaced—suggesting Samsung’s 2026 wearables focus remains on a two-watch lineup.
