There’s been a lot of talk about the possible arrival of a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra this year, and Samsung itself has joined the leaks by publishing the name of the new wearable on its own regional websites.
The pages have now been removed, but not before they were noticed 91mobiles (through Android Authority). This doesn’t tell us much about the premium smartwatch, but seems to confirm its existence, name and imminent arrival.
In previous leaks we’d heard names like the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra, Galaxy Watch are.
Since this is the first Ultra version in Samsung’s smartwatch series, it makes sense not to give it a number. Next year we might have the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (and of course Apple has done that with the Apple Watch Ultra 2).
What we’ve heard so far
There’s been a lot of talk about a Galaxy Watch Ultra for 2024, and the leaks so far suggest we’ll be getting a premium Samsung smartwatch soon, and it will be 47mm in size – like the largest Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
One of the most substantial leaks yet shows unofficial renderings of what the Galaxy Watch Ultra could look like. It seems like Samsung couldn’t decide between a square and a round case design as it ended up being a mix of both.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra is also rumored to launch with a titanium body, while its rumored price of $699-$710 in the US puts it significantly above the Galaxy Watch 6, but well below the asking price of the Apple Watch 2.
All indications are that July 10 is the date of the next Samsung Unpacked event, when we should see both the Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Galaxy Watch 7, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Buds 3.
