Samsung is expected to launch its next-gen Galaxy Watch devices at the Galaxy Unpacked event, which is expected on July 22. We already know the company is announcing at least two new models, but there\u2019s a key feature that may come unchanged.The upcoming Galaxy Watch models may not have faster charging
Samsung is unlikely to introduce faster charging speeds to the upcoming Galaxy Watch 9<\/a> and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2<\/a>. Newly leaked certification documents, spotted<\/a> by SammyGuru, suggest that the two upcoming smartwatches will both stick to 10W charging.That would be the same charging speed Samsung offered with the Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> and the Galaxy Watch Ultra. This information goes in line with previous claims that Samsung won\u2019t introduce any significant design changes or larger batteries on the new models. <\/p>\n

Maybe there will be only two new models after all<\/p>\n

One significant detail about the new leak is that it includes only two entries in the Chinese 3C certification database. Those are for devices with model numbers SM-L3550 and SM-L7150, which stand for the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, respectively.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s missing is the Galaxy Watch 9 Classic, which was previously rumored<\/a> to join the other two models in Samsung\u2019s 2026 smartwatch lineup. The extra device was spotted inside the code of a recent Wear OS update, but launching it would break a pattern for the Korean company. The Galaxy Watch Classic models usually come every two years, and we already had a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in 2025.<\/p>\n

An array of new features is guaranteed
While we know almost nothing about the devices themselves, Samsung recently announced<\/a> it is preparing major software improvements that will debut on the upcoming smartwatches. The company has a number of new features for the Samsung Health app, including a new layout and AI-based insights.As I assume these updates will make it to all new models, I can\u2019t stop thinking how much better they would make a potential Galaxy Watch 9 Classic. In our review<\/a>, Victor was talking about the elegance and the comfort of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, without missing the slick and curated experience One UI Watch adds to Wear OS. Adding a bunch of new features to what\u2019s already a strong point for this model would make it even more appealing, including when compared to the likes of the Apple Watch Series 12<\/a>.Efficiency is more important
My relationship with charging my wearables was always based more on habits than on what they\u2019re really capable of. I learned to put my smartwatch on its charger when I shower, which guarantees it always has some battery available. I\u2019d love to have a faster charging watch, but that won\u2019t change my habits, so it\u2019s not such an important feature for me.<\/p>\n
