We got our first look at the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 design earlier this month thanks to Android titlesbut Leakmail’s message includes new perspectives and specifications. For example, the leaked photos show an upgrade to an IP69K dust and water resistance rating, compared to the IP68 rating of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. They also claim that the new model is 12% thinner than its predecessor.
If the leak is accurate, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will come with an 800mAh battery, up from 590mAh on the 2025 model. The latest watch is also expected to offer a much brighter display with up to 5,000 nits, a significant increase from 3,000 nits.
As for performance, Blass claims that the watch will use the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, corroborating another leak from last week. According to a separate leak from Blass, the upcoming Galaxy Watch 9 will be powered by the same chip.
