Another week, another Galaxy Watch leak. This time, we’re getting details about the design as well as some color options. Plus, there’s a bit of somber news for the Galaxy Watch Classic fans.
In a new X post, leaker Galaxy Techie has shared alleged details about Samsung’s upcoming smartwatches alongside some software renders. According to them, the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Ultra 2 will also come with new band designs, colors, and watch faces.
The new colors will likely include black with a bluish band and silver with a green band. The leak also mentions a beige color that will reportedly be available exclusively on the base variant. It’s unclear whether these are colors for the Watch Ultra 2 or the Watch 9.
The leak also provides additional details about the Ultra 2. It’ll reportedly feature a boxier design and take design cues from the Watch 8 Classic, including a numbered bezel. We don’t know whether this bezel will be rotatable, as it was on the Watch 8 Classic, but the leaker claims that the new Ultra 2 will feature thinner bezels. It will also come with better side buttons, and the quick button will have an orange outline.
In a follow-up post, the leaker also shared some software renders of the upcoming smartwatches showing the compass app, the app drawer, and the watch face selection screen:
We already know some specs for the upcoming watches: the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could come with a larger, 784mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy Watch 9 is likely to include a 382mAh battery. Although the batteries are larger, regulatory filings suggest the charging speed will remain the same. Samsung has also confirmed that the next Galaxy Watch will be powered by a Snapdragon Wear Elite SoC.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 soon. The company’s next Galaxy Unpacked is rumored to be held on July 22 in London.
