Overview
- High‑resolution promotional images and spec slides published by leaker Evan Blass between July 18 and July 20 have been widely shared by tech outlets and show near‑final designs for the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
- Both watches are shown with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite, a 3nm wearable SoC that the leaked slides say includes a dedicated NPU to run on‑device AI features such as instant replies, real‑time coaching, and local Gemini integration.
- The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2’s marketing materials claim large hardware upgrades including an 800mAh battery, a titanium case that is about 12 percent thinner than the prior model, an IP69K dust and water rating, and a peak‑brightness 5,000‑nit display.
- Leaked Galaxy Watch 9 assets show conservative exterior changes plus three colorways and health features like Energy Tracking, Running Coach, Sleep Apnea detection, Vitals, and reported specs around 2GB RAM and up to 32–64GB storage.
- These are leaks and Samsung has not confirmed the details, so real‑world battery life, brightness and durability may differ from the marketing claims and will be verified at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.
