Evan Blass leaked Samsung marketing material showing the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 ahead of its July 22 unveiling, exposing most of the smartwatch’s headline upgrades.
5,000 nits of peak brightness, an IP69K rating and an 800mAh battery mark the biggest changes, lifting the screen from 3,000 nits and battery capacity by 35% versus the first model.
12% thinner hardware in a titanium squircle case could address complaints that the original Galaxy Watch Ultra felt bulky, while three side buttons include the programmable Quick Button.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite also appears in the leak, suggesting Samsung is pairing durability and battery gains with a current flagship wearable chip.
