Seasoned leaker Evan Blass is back with a massive Samsung leak. This time, Evan brings us the official promo images for the upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, confirming key specs, including the battery, display, and more.

Samsung is set to launch Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at a mega Unpacked event on July 22. The company hasn’t even teased its second-generation rugged smartwatch. Meanwhile, we now have an early look at its most highlighted specifications.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 brings 5000 nits display, 800mAh battery

The promotional images confirm key specs of the Watch Ultra 2. The wearable is getting a bigger battery and upgraded display. The capacity now hits 800mAh, significantly larger than Samsung’s first rugged smartwatch.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will feature a display with up to 5,000 nits of brightness. It’s a massive upgrade over the first-generation Watch Ultra, which has 3,000 nits screen.

In addition, the pictures confirm Titanium material, which is lighter and more durable. The smartwatch comes with an IP69K rating for dust and water resistance. Another design highlight is 12 percent thinner body than the OG model.

A leaked promotional image also confirmed the Snapdragon Wear Elite chipset. The same SoC will power the Galaxy Watch 9 smartwatch. Samsung is set to drop the Exynos Wear portfolio from its wearable segment, starting this year.

Earlier, it was revealed that Samsung is raising the prices of its new wearables. The price hike for Europe indicated a steep bump on the Ultra-branded smartwatch, which gets 64GB of storage.

Samsung is planning to launch its open-ear earbuds, tentatively called Galaxy Buds Able or Galaxy Buds On, sometime in October 2026. It was assumed that the company would bring it at the Unpacked event, but it doesn’t seem to be happening.

ETNews reports that Samsung has decided to push back the launch while it continues refining the open-ear Galaxy Buds Able/On, giving the earbuds their own stage instead of sharing attention with the company’s broader wearable announcements.

Launching a new category of earbuds separately gives Samsung more room to explain why this product exists and how it fits into the Galaxy ecosystem.

The new earbuds reportedly adopt an open-ear, clip-on design that wraps around the outer ear. This design allows users to hear traffic, conversations, and other surrounding sounds while listening to music or podcasts.

This year’s presentation is expected to put health and fitness front and center, with the Galaxy Watch 9 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 taking most of the spotlight.

For now, October looks like the most likely target, although Samsung has yet to officially confirm either the name or the launch timeline.

Samsung’s Unpacked products have almost been revealed, with the latest leak covering the Galaxy Watch 9 press images. This follows the previous drop by Evan Blass, which exposed the three upcoming foldable phones.

Galaxy Watch 9 press images reveal colors, chip, and features

The marketing images show what Samsung will highlight at the event and afterwards. The new smartwatch focuses on practical health features. One UI 9 Watch is also on display, with the tiles appearing even clearer.

One press image sheds light on three tiles of the smartwatch, including Sleep (duration), Energy score, and Sleep (quality). This shows Samsung is moving past just stats and offers easily understandable info at a glance.

Another image puts the Galaxy Watch 9 in all the colorways on display. The smartwatch will be available in two sizes, including 40mm and 44mm. The color shades will include Cream, Graphite, Green, and Silver.

Beyond that, the press image confirms the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. Samsung has abandoned its in-house Exynos wearable chipset. Galaxy Watches launched in the past had featured Exynos W-series chips inside.

Qualcomm already confirmed the next-gen Galaxy watches will use its Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. The industry had anticipated that the Watch 9 may retain Exynos chip, while the Snapdragon SoC would be used in Watch Ultra 2.

Earlier, Samsung unveiled the new AI-powered Health features. These new tools have already been added to the Samsung Health app; however, they will only be functional on the next-generation Samsung smartwatch models.

Stay tuned as we anticipate a similar leak for the second Ultra Watch.

Samsung’s green line issue may no longer be limited to Galaxy phones and smartwatches. A fresh user report suggests the same line-on-display defect has now surfaced on one of Samsung’s most affordable wearables, the Galaxy Fit 3 fitness tracker.

A Reddit user, u/omelettelover1, shared their experience on the r/GadgetsIndia subreddit after their roughly two-year-old Galaxy Fit 3 suddenly developed a serious display problem.

According to the post, the budget fitness tracker first went completely black and stayed that way for several days. Unfortunately, it didn’t recover completely.

A bright vertical green line permanently appeared across the AMOLED screen, slicing straight through the watch face and even cutting across the displayed time. The tracker remained usable, but the damaged display became impossible to ignore.

Samsung hasn’t acknowledged the case, and there’s no evidence that this is a widespread Galaxy Fit 3 issue. The timing is interesting because a Galaxy Watch 4 owner has recently reported similar green line problems post One UI 8 Watch update.

Before that, Samsung smartphones had already built an unfortunate reputation for sudden green lines appearing on AMOLED displays across several Galaxy models.

If this issue begins appearing on more Galaxy wearables, Samsung needs to acknowledge it directly and provide a clear path for affected customers instead of leaving them guessing.

A Samsung Galaxy Watch has reportedly developed a Green Line on its display, and the recent One UI 8 Watch update is allegedly the culprit. This is a widespread problem across Galaxy phones, primarily in Korea, but select Galaxy Watch units have also started to be the victim of the display defect.

Samsung Galaxy Watch develops Green Line

Reddit user HKNworld posted two images, revealing the Samsung Galaxy Watch screen has developed a thin vertical green line. The line expands from the top to the bottom on the right side of the screen of the smartwatch.

Another image from the same source shows a more prominent OLED defect. A dead pixel has also appeared on the display, which is worse than the line itself.

Notably, the victim is a Galaxy Watch 4 model, and the disaster happened after the One UI 8 update. The user should reach out to an authorised service center to get the watch inspected and get a repair quotation.

Samsung offers free screen replacement to Galaxy smartphone users in India. The policy says you are eligible for a one-time display repair at no cost. However, there are some requirements that your device must fulfill:

• Not older than three years
• No physical or water damage
• No prior complimentary OLED replacement

Like phones, replacing the watch’s display will cost a lot. Even if it’s a quality issue, the company is less likely to offer a complimentary replacement. Offering it once will open the floodgates of replacement demands from consumers.
