Galaxy Watch 9 plus Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 lived on scattered rumors all this time, now German publication WinFuture claims in its exclusive report to hold official technical specifications of these new watches. That information says Samsung is rebuilding its watches' insides for that July 22 Unpacked: a new chip plus bigger batteries, these two stand as this year's core story.

Let me share that biggest news first. Year after year Galaxy Watch ran on Samsung's own Exynos chips. That era ends now. According to WinFuture's information, every model this time carries Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite, its model number SW6100. This chip is built on 3nm technology, 64-bit, holding five cores: one strong core running at 2.1 GHz, plus four power-saving cores up to 1.95 GHz. Alongside come 2GB of RAM plus 32 or 64GB of storage depending on model.

Second big news lives in batteries, though fortune isn't equal for everyone here. That smaller 40mm Galaxy Watch 9 keeps its battery unchanged at 325 mAh. Its 44mm model grows slightly to 445 mAh, matching last year's Classic model, plus here's a fun fact, no Classic version arrives this year at all. That real leap came from Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. From its earlier 590 mAh straight to 800 mAh, meaning a battery nearly 35 percent bigger. Smartwatches' oldest complaint was always battery, so for Ultra 2 owners this becomes their biggest gain.

Display math stays nearly as before. That 40mm Watch 9 holds a 1.3-inch screen (438×438 pixels), while its 44mm Watch 9 plus 47mm Ultra 2 carry screens near 1.5 inches (480×480 pixels).

Now to build plus connectivity news. Bodies of those two affordable models are aluminum, while on Ultra 2 Samsung returns to titanium. In water protection Ultra 2 survives depths up to 100 meters, others hold 5 ATM. For connectivity every model carries Bluetooth 6.0, NFC plus dual-band Wi-Fi, with LTE versions adding mobile networks of course. Software runs Wear OS with Samsung's new One UI Watch 9.0. A fleet of sensors stays too, including ECG-style measurement, though whether new health features get added, WinFuture doesn't know yet.

Now that word which sours moods. Prices are rising, quite noticeably too. In WinFuture's information, its base model starts from at least 409 euros, its bigger version at least 439 euros, while Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 sells at 749 euros, 50 euros above its previous Ultra.

So math stands like this: new chips raise speed plus AI strength, Ultra 2 takes a big battery leap, a titanium body arrives, but more money leaves pockets too. Whether that extra gain justifies extra cost, that judgment belongs to buyers. Remember too, these stay leaks still, words from Samsung's mouth arrive July 22, right on that London stage.
