Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2<\/p>\n

Samsung<\/p>\n

Details of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9 wearables, likely to be announced at Samsung\u2019s Unpacked<\/a> event this week, have surfaced. <\/p>\n

Leak publisher account evleaks, once manned by now-retired leaker Evan Blass, has posted promotional materials for the Galaxy Watch 9<\/a> and Ultra 2 that give away some of the upcoming wearables\u2019 core specs. <\/p>\n

The battery capacity of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is the most interesting of them all. At 800mAh, the cell is 1.35x the capacity of original 2024 Galaxy Watch Ultra 590mAh battery. <\/p>\n

Considering the new watch is apparently not only no thicker than the old one but 12 per cent thinner, this suggests Samsung has used a higher-capacity battery technology, most likely silicon-carbon. <\/p>\n

This is used fairly widely in phones from Chinese manufacturers like Oppo and Xiaomi, but Samsung does not use silicon-carbon in its phones currently. <\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> instead has a more conventional lithium ion battery with a graphite anode instead of the newer silicon-carbon type. While both generations are still effectively lithium ion batteries, the upgrade is consistent with the boost in capacity seen in these Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 specs. <\/p>\n

Why doesn\u2019t Samsung use silicon-carbon designs already? One theory is a pro-consumer one, that Samsung is cautious to use the newer design as its early iterations may have significantly lower charge cycle lifespans. <\/p>\n

Honor was among the very first to adopt the silicon-carbon battery technology in phones, in the Chinese version of the Honor Magic 5 Pro<\/a> from 2023. Only now is the time approaching when the first waves of silicon-carbon batteries in mainstream gadgets are stress-tested in real-world conditions towards what might be more advanced stages of battery degradation. <\/p>\n

Three years on, though, it appears Samsung finally has some confidence in the tech. The leak suggests the battery life claim for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 has jumped from 48 hours to 60 hours \u2014 a little under the 1.35x capacity jump. <\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Specs<\/p>\n

The watch screen also appears to be able to hit 5,000-nit brightness, where the 2024 Ultra peaks at 3,000 nits. It\u2019s an impressive leap, but not one that will radically alter anyone\u2019s real-world experience, when the first Ultra watch was already plenty bright. <\/p>\n

Other core specs include a part titanium casing, a Snapdragon Wear Elite processor and IP69K water resistance, although it\u2019s actually likely to have a higher water resistance spec of at least 10ATM too. <\/p>\n

A few specs for the standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 have emerged as well, although these are mostly more familiar. It\u2019s rumored to come in two sizes, 40mm and 44mm, with 390mAh and 445mAh batteries respectively. <\/p>\n

These more affordable watch lines also reportedly get the bump up to a Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, from the Exynos W1000 used in the current generation. You can expect to hear more about the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at Samsung Unpacked, held on July 22. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Samsung Details of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[203,153243,61,60,573,23116,1161,80,237316],"class_list":["post-561607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-gadgets","tag-galaxy-watch-9","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-galaxy","tag-samsung-galaxy-watch","tag-technology","tag-ultra-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
