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.

• Galaxy Watch 9 press images leak confirms Snapdragon chip, colors, new UI, and features

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.

• Samsung Galaxy Watch display develops Green Line issue

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.

The smartwatch market is entering a different phase. Design refinements and battery improvements still matter, but companies are increasingly competing over how intelligently their watches understand the user’s health. Samsung is gearing up to challenge Apple with its upcoming Edge AI Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 this Summer.

According to Counterpoint Research, Edge AI smartwatch shipments grew 70 percent YoY during the first quarter of 2026, with their market share rising from 15 percent to 25 percent. The firm expects Edge AI devices to account for more than 32 percent of smartwatch shipments by the end of the year.

Edge AI

Edge AI allows machine learning tasks to run directly on the smartwatch instead of sending sensitive biometric information to cloud servers.

Apple dominates Edge AI segment, accounting for roughly 90 percent of shipments. Apple already uses its Neural Engine architecture to power health features including blood pressure alerts, sleep scoring, and Workout Buddy.

Samsung, however, appears ready to answer Edge AI with its Galaxy AI-powered Watch models. The company has already previewed several Samsung Health additions expected to arrive with its next Galaxy Watch.

Rather than simply displaying numbers, Samsung’s approach is shifting toward explaining what those numbers mean and suggesting practical actions.

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, featuring a dedicated NPU for on-device AI, could also help accelerate adoption across Wear OS devices.

Samsung is expected to unveil the new Galaxy Watch alongside its latest foldables during Galaxy Unpacked later this month, with pre-orders reportedly opening immediately after the event.
