Leaked marketing images of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 support rumors regarding its battery, display, and processor specifications.

      The images also display two different color options, alongside a titanium construction and an improved IP69K rating.

      The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 has very few secrets remaining, but a recent leak has finally confirmed some of the speculation. Marketing images shared by tipster Evan Blass in his newsletter showcase Samsung's upcoming flagship smartwatch in two color variations, providing details that essentially validate weeks of rumor.

      A larger battery in a more streamlined design

      This latest leak supports a report from last month indicating that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will feature a significant battery enhancement, increasing from 590mAh in the current version to 800mAh. It also indicates that Samsung has managed to accomplish this while making the new model 12 percent thinner.

      The promotional visuals emphasize that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will maintain its titanium build, but its ingress protection rating will be upgraded to IP69K. Samsung is expected to offer two color options: a titanium variant with an olive green band and an all-black version featuring a matching band. Both designs will have an orange ring around the crown.

      The chip switch and brighter display also highlighted

      There have been ongoing rumors of Samsung replacing Exynos with Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite throughout its entire 2026 smartwatch lineup. This is reflected in one of the promotional images, which shows a “Powered by Snapdragon Wear Elite” badge on the watch's internals. The chip's dedicated NPU is anticipated to facilitate on-device AI capabilities, something Samsung hinted at in its teasers. The images also suggest a screen with peak brightness that can reach up to 5,000 nits, which aligns with earlier reports.

      Samsung has not commented on the leak, and pricing details are still unverified, although prior reports suggest an increase across the Galaxy Watch series. However, we won't have to wait long for final pricing, as the company is expected to reveal this information at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22.

      Camera anxiety is altering how young adults socialize

      A report from the BBC indicates that Generation Z clubgoers are becoming increasingly anxious about being filmed, with the emergence of Meta's smart glasses intensifying this concern.

      Going out to clubs used to mean immersing oneself in the dances without a second thought. Now, according to the BBC report, an increasing number of young individuals express that they cannot fully enjoy a night out as they are constantly on the lookout for cameras.

      The presence of smart glasses complicates the situation

      This smart ring claims to provide blood pressure readings that Apple and Oura haven’t yet delivered

      Vital Signals has launched a $399 smart ring that exceeds the capabilities currently offered by Apple and Oura. The Signal Ring reveals numerical blood pressure data without requiring an arm cuff for initial or repeated calibration.

      HTC’s smart glasses may be coming to the US, but HTC hasn't announced it yet

      Amazon briefly listed the VIVE Eagle for a September 1 release, despite HTC claiming that the $499 glasses are currently only available in Taiwan.

      HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses might finally be making their way to the US. Apparently, Amazon received the information before HTC was prepared to disclose it. Notebookcheck noticed six versions available for preorder at $499, each with a September 1 launch date. Amazon has since removed the listings, leaving new orders unavailable and those who previously ordered in limbo about whether their orders are still valid.
