We are less than two weeks away from Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, where we anticipate not only the unveiling of new Galaxy foldables but also the launch of the next-generation Galaxy Watches. Recent leaks have provided us with a good indication of what to expect from the Galaxy Watch9 and Watch Ultra2.
While earlier reports have focused mainly on design and strap options, a new report from WinFuture highlights significant hardware updates that may justify a potential price increase.
The most notable enhancement in the Galaxy Watch9 series and the Ultra2 is the chipset. Samsung appears to be replacing its in-house Exynos chips with Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite SoCs, which are based on a 3nm fabrication process. This transition is expected to improve both performance and power efficiency.
Depending on the model, the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip will come equipped with 2GB of RAM and either 32 or 64GB of internal storage.
The Galaxy Watch9 40mm will retain the same 325 mAh battery as its predecessor, while the 44mm variant will feature a slightly larger 445 mAh battery, an upgrade from the 435 mAh battery in the 44mm Galaxy Watch8.
In contrast, the Ultra2 receives a significant upgrade, increasing its capacity from 590 mAh in the original Galaxy Watch Ultra to 800 mAh. This enhancement is likely to lead to substantial improvements in battery life.
