This device happens to carry the model number SM-L345U. As we learned from the leak mentioned earlier, this model number is associated with the Galaxy Watch 9. Notably, this suggests that the Galaxy Watch 9 has left the development phase and has entered testing.<\/p>\n<p>This news follows hot on the heels of another leak that may have revealed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-9-glasses-3649623\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">some of the specs<\/a>. That report claims that there will be 40mm and 44mm variants. The 44mm model is believed to feature a 435mAh battery, similar to the Galaxy Watch 8.<\/p>\n<p>It appears the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 has not appeared on this server yet. However, it should only be a matter of time before it does, especially if Samsung plans to launch it alongside the Watch 9.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
