An extensive leak revealed the main details of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, information about which was released by the well-known Evan Blass. The official launch of Samsung’s premium smart watch is expected this Wednesday.
According to the marketing material that was made public last weekend, the device will maintain the elegant “squircle” titanium case and silicone strap already present in the previous model. However, the new version stands out for being 12% thinner than its previous generation. The 12% reduction in profile not only enhances the aesthetics but also elevates the comfort of everyday use, especially on a wrist-worn device.
In addition to the reduction in thickness, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 presents a significant improvement in its resistance. The protection standard has been raised from IP68 to IP69K, a rating that guarantees superior defense against dust and high pressure and temperature water jets. This move to IP69K means that the watch will not only withstand diving and dust as before, but will also withstand cleaning with high-pressure and high-temperature water jets, a notable advancement for users in more demanding environments.
External view and screen improvement
To ensure excellent content visibility even in bright light conditions, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 incorporates a circular OLED display with an impressive peak brightness of 5,000 nits. This value represents a considerable leap, surpassing the 3,000 nits offered by the original model, guaranteeing sharpness and clarity in outdoor environments.
Internal performance and long battery life
Internally, Samsung’s new wearable will come equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite platform. The battery, in turn, promises to be one of the biggest highlights, reaching 800 mAh, which represents an increase of 32% compared to the previous generation. The 32% increase in battery capacity, reaching 800 mAh, suggests significantly greater autonomy for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, allowing for more hours of use between charges, something crucial for such a complete device.
Concluding the leak data, the side of the watch retains the arrangement of three buttons, including the central “Quick Button”. This button offers customization and can be programmed by the user to activate quick functions and optimize the user experience.
What to expect from the Unpacked event
It is important to note that, in addition to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Samsung has plans to present the Galaxy Watch 9 during the highly anticipated Unpacked event. The manufacturer is also expected to reveal its latest foldable smartphone models.
The Unpacked event won’t just be limited to new hardware devices. The occasion will also mark the debut of the One UI 9 interface, the new version of Samsung’s software, promising to bring innovations and improvements to users.
