Samsung Galaxy Watch9 is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event in London, but a fresh leak has already revealed what could be the complete specifications and European pricing for both wearables.
While Samsung has yet to officially announce either smartwatch, the leaked information suggests the company is preparing notable upgrades in display brightness, battery capacity, storage and durability across its premium wearable lineup.
As with all pre-launch reports, the specifications and prices should be treated as unofficial until Samsung confirms them during its launch event.
Samsung Galaxy Watch9 may receive upgraded hardware
According to the leak, both the Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite platform and paired with 2GB of RAM.
The standard Galaxy Watch9 is expected to include 32GB of internal storage, while the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could double that capacity to 64GB, providing additional space for offline music, applications and health data.
Samsung is also expected to continue using Wear OS with its One UI Watch interface, with the new models reportedly shipping with One UI 9 Watch based on Wear OS 7.
Two Galaxy Watch9 sizes expected
The Galaxy Watch9 is reportedly coming in two case sizes.
The smaller 40mm version is tipped to feature a 1.34-inch AMOLED display, while the 44mm model could include a slightly larger 1.47-inch AMOLED panel.
Both versions are expected to reach up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, improving outdoor visibility compared with earlier generations.
The premium Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is rumored to feature a 1.52-inch AMOLED display capable of reaching an even brighter 5,000 nits, making it one of Samsung’s brightest smartwatch displays to date.
Both smartwatches are also expected to retain sapphire crystal protection for improved resistance to scratches.
Larger batteries could improve endurance
Battery life appears to be another area receiving attention.
The leak claims:
- Galaxy Watch9 (40mm): 390mAh
- Galaxy Watch9 (44mm): 445mAh
- Galaxy Watch Ultra 2: 800mAh
All three models are expected to support WPC-based fast wireless charging.
Although Samsung has not revealed battery-life estimates, the larger capacities could translate into longer usage between charges, depending on display brightness, GPS activity and health-monitoring features.
Health sensors remain central
Samsung is expected to continue emphasizing health tracking across its smartwatch lineup.
The leaked specifications indicate that both watches will feature Samsung’s BioActive sensor alongside several environmental sensors, including:
- Temperature sensor
- Barometer
- Geomagnetic sensor
These sensors are expected to support health monitoring, fitness tracking, navigation and outdoor activity measurements.
Samsung has not officially confirmed whether new health metrics or AI-powered wellness features will debut with the watches.
Connectivity and durability
The report also points to a comprehensive connectivity package.
Both models are expected to support:
- LTE
- Bluetooth 6.0
- Dual-band Wi-Fi
- NFC
- GPS
For durability, the Galaxy Watch9 is rumored to carry IP68 dust and water resistance together with a 5ATM water-resistance rating.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could receive higher protection with IP69K certification and a 10ATM+ water-resistance rating, positioning it for more demanding outdoor and adventure use.
Samsung has not yet confirmed these ratings.
Leaked European prices
The leak also includes expected launch prices for Europe.
Reported pricing is as follows:
| Model | Expected Price |
|---|---|
| Galaxy Watch9 40mm Bluetooth | €409 |
| Galaxy Watch9 40mm LTE | €459 |
| Galaxy Watch9 44mm Bluetooth | €439 |
| Galaxy Watch9 44mm LTE | €489 |
| Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 LTE | €749 |
Regional pricing may differ once Samsung announces availability in individual markets.
Official announcement expected at Galaxy Unpacked
Samsung is widely expected to unveil the Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 alongside its next-generation foldable smartphones during Galaxy Unpacked in London.
The event should confirm the watches’ final specifications, software features, availability and pricing, while also revealing whether Samsung introduces new AI-powered health capabilities or additional ecosystem integrations.
Until then, the leaked information offers the clearest preview yet of Samsung’s next wearable lineup, suggesting incremental hardware improvements aimed at brighter displays, larger batteries, expanded storage and enhanced durability for both everyday users and outdoor enthusiasts.
