Along with the new foldables, the showcase will likely also include the debut of the company\u2019s latest smartwatches, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-2026-tablets-and-wearables-certification-3637300\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2<\/a>.

This second version would be a Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-only model. Meaning, you\u2019ll be able to pick between a more expensive 4G model or this cheaper Bluetooth and Wi-Fi model. The original Galaxy Watch Ultra is only available with 4G connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet specifies that this Bluetooth and Wi-Fi variant is being prepared for the European market. It did not clarify if this variant would also be available in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Although those of us in the US could miss out on this Bluetooth and Wi-Fi model, we may get a different model instead. Last month, a firmware build for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-watch-ultra-2-4g-3655637\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">device with the model number SM-L715F<\/a> was found on Samsung\u2019s servers. It\u2019s suggested that this device could be a 5G variant of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. It\u2019s also believed that the 5G version would only be sold in the US and South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
