Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Clears FCC and CMIIT as 10W Charging Stays Unchanged

2 articles · Updated · TechCabal · Jun 20

Summary

  • SM-L715 has now appeared in FCC and CMIIT filings, with SM-L715F for global markets and SM-L715U for U.S. carriers, signaling Samsung’s next Ultra watch is nearing launch.
  • 10W wired charging also surfaced in China’s 3C certification, indicating Samsung is keeping the same charging speed as the current Galaxy Watch Ultra.
  • Samsung still has not officially announced the device or confirmed a launch date, though Korean media point to a July 22 Unpacked event in London and an early August sale window.
  • Chip details remain unresolved: Qualcomm says the next Galaxy Watch will use its 3nm Snapdragon Wear Elite, but leaks conflict on whether the Ultra 2 gets it globally or only in some regions.
  • The filings add to signs of a broader 2026 lineup refresh, while the absence of any Watch 9 Classic model in recent certifications suggests Samsung may drop that variant this year.
