Images for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 have surfaced, supporting speculations regarding its battery, display, and chip.
The leaked images also showcase two color options, a titanium construction, and an improved IP69K rating.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is becoming less mysterious, as a recent leak has shed light on the speculations. Marketing visuals shared by insider Evan Blass in his newsletter display Samsung’s forthcoming flagship smartwatch in two different colors, providing details that nearly confirm weeks of speculations.
A larger battery in a sleeker design
This recent leak supports last month's report that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will have a significant battery enhancement, increasing from 590mAh in the current version to 800mAh. It further indicates that Samsung has accomplished this feat while making the new model 12 percent slimmer.
The promotional graphics also emphasize that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will maintain its titanium structure, but its ingress protection rating will rise to IP69K. Samsung is expected to offer it in two color variants: a titanium model paired with an olive green band and an all-black iteration featuring a matching band. Both will include an orange ring around the crown.
Discussion of the processor change and enhanced display
There have been ongoing rumors about Samsung switching from Exynos to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite for its entire 2026 watch range. This detail is also reflected in one of the marketing images, which displays a “Powered by Snapdragon Wear Elite” label on the watch's internals. The dedicated NPU of the chip is anticipated to support on-device AI functionalities, something Samsung hinted at in its teasers. The visuals also suggest that the display will achieve peak brightness levels of up to 5,000 nits, corroborating earlier reports.
Samsung has yet to acknowledge the leak, and the pricing is still uncertain, though prior reports indicate an anticipated increase across the Galaxy Watch series. However, we shouldn’t have to wait much longer for definitive figures, as the company is set to present during the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.
