Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is set to debut on July 22, 2026, at Samsung Unpacked in London, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Wide, and Z Flip 8. The key changes in the watch include a new processor in 3 nm lithography, an 800 mAh battery (35% larger), and Samsung’s first-ever 5G. Note: these are findings from leaks, Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the date or name.
Summer is traditionally the time for Samsung’s foldables and watches. This year, the Korean manufacturer is expected to showcase the second generation of its most powerful smartwatch, while also refreshing the entire line of wearable devices and foldables. Below, we have gathered everything that is known about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 premiere: the date, leaked specifications, expected price, and a list of phones that will be released on the same day.
When is the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 premiere?
The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is set to be presented on July 22, 2026 during the Galaxy Unpacked conference. According to reports, Samsung is organizing a summer Unpacked in London for the first time, moving away from the previous pattern with Korea and the USA.
The date is consistently reported by tech outlets, including Tom’s Guide and PhoneArena. An additional signal that the premiere is near was the passage of the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 through the American FCC in mid-June 2026.
Attention: As of the publication date, Samsung has not yet sent out an official invitation for Unpacked nor has it used the name «Galaxy Watch Ultra 2». Treat the date of July 22 and the specifications as highly probable leaks, not data confirmed by the manufacturer. Official information will appear on the Samsung newsroom.
Pre-orders usually start on the day of the conference, with retail sales occurring 1–2 weeks later. If the pattern repeats, you will be able to buy the watch in stores at the turn of July and August 2026.
What’s new in the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?
The second generation Ultra is expected to be an evolution, not a revolution — Samsung is refining what was lacking in the first model. Three changes make the biggest difference.
- New 3 nm processor — the watch is set to receive a next-generation Snapdragon Wear chip (Wear Elite), focused on AI tasks. The lower lithography means higher performance with lower power consumption.
- 800 mAh battery — an increase of about 35% compared to 590 mAh in the first Ultra. This was the biggest drawback of its predecessor, so a longer battery life will be noticeable on a daily basis.
- 5G — the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is expected to be Samsung’s first smartwatch with a 5G modem. However, the 5G versions will only be available in select markets (USA, Korea), while in Europe we will receive 4G/LTE variants.
The rest of the construction is to remain verified: a 47 mm titanium case, a bright AMOLED display, an additional programmable Quick Button, and resistance to extreme conditions. This is a watch for runners, divers, and those who need equipment that can withstand more than a classic smartwatch.

|---|---|
| Premiere | July 22, 2026 (Galaxy Unpacked) |
| Processor | Snapdragon Wear Elite, 3 nm |
| Battery | approx. 800 mAh |
| Connectivity | 5G (USA/Korea), 4G/LTE (Europe) |
| Case | Titanium, 47 mm |
| System | Wear OS / One UI Watch |
Design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 — what leaks reveal
The most excitement surrounds the appearance. According to the GalaxyTechie account on X, the second Ultra is said to be more angular than its predecessor, and there will be an engraving with numbers from 1 to 12 around the display. This detail is reminiscent of classic mechanical watches, which could clearly distinguish the Ultra 2 from the rest of the smartwatch market.
One question remains open: will this ring be rotatable, like in diving watches, or will it serve solely as decoration? For now, it is unknown.
The same reports indicate thinner bezels around the display and redesigned buttons on the right side of the case. The round Quick Button is set to be replaced by a flat, wider button in a vivid orange color. These may seem like minor changes, but in a watch worn on the wrist daily, the look makes a big difference.
Note: The above design information is unofficial leaks from social media, not data confirmed by Samsung. The final look will only be revealed at the premiere.
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 vs Galaxy Watch Ultra — what is changing
If you have the first Ultra, you will most notice the jump in battery and performance. The rest is cosmetic.
| Cecha | Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) | Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (przeciek) |
|---|---|---|
| Procesor | Exynos W1000 | Snapdragon Wear Elite (3 nm) |
| Bateria | 590 mAh | ok. 800 mAh |
| 5G | ❌ | ✅ (wybrane rynki) |
| Koperta | Tytan, 47 mm | Tytan, 47 mm |
| Premiera | lipiec 2024 | lipiec 2026 |
Dla posiadaczy modelu z 2024 roku to upgrade „dla chcących», a nie konieczność. Dłuższy czas pracy i szybszy chip kuszą, ale tytanowa koperta i czujniki zdrowotne pozostają na podobnym poziomie. Większy sens przesiadka ma dla osób z Galaxy Watch 6 lub starszym sprzętem.
Jakie telefony pojawią się razem z Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?
Unpacked to nie tylko zegarki. Tego samego dnia Samsung ma pokazać nową generację składaków — i to właśnie one będą gwiazdami konferencji. Poniższe parametry pochodzą z przecieków i nie są potwierdzone przez Samsunga.
- Galaxy Z Fold 8 — większa bateria 5000 mAh (z 4400 mAh), ładowanie 45 W, aparat ultraszerokokątny 50 MP i procesor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Spodziewana cena startowa to ok. 1 999 dolarów.
- Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide — nowy, lżejszy wariant o proporcjach bliższych tabletowi: wewnętrzny ekran 7,6″ w formacie 4:3, masa około 200 g i podwójny aparat 50 MP bez teleobiektywu.
- Galaxy Z Flip 8 — składak z klapką z ekranem wewnętrznym 6,9″ i dużym wyświetlaczem zewnętrznym 4,1″ otaczającym aparaty.
Do tego dojdą Galaxy Watch 9 (w tej generacji bez wersji Classic, według zgłoszeń FCC) oraz okulary Galaxy Glasses, pierwsze inteligentne okulary Samsunga. Więcej o samych składakach pisaliśmy w artykule o premierze Galaxy Z Fold 8 i Z Fold 8 Wide.
Jeśli planujesz kupić nowego folda lub flipa, etui i folie warto mieć od pierwszego dnia. Sprawdź akcesoria do Galaxy Z Fold i Galaxy Z Flip, kategorie aktualizujemy wraz z premierą nowych modeli.
Cena i dostępność w Polsce
Samsung nie podał jeszcze cen, ale punktem odniesienia jest poprzednik. Galaxy Watch Ultra z 2024 roku startował w Polsce od około 3 299 zł, więc druga generacja powinna utrzymać się w podobnym przedziale, ewentualnie z niewielką podwyżką.
W Europie, w tym w Polsce, spodziewaj się wariantu 4G/LTE zamiast 5G. W praktyce różnica jest niewielka — zegarek i tak najczęściej korzysta z łączności przez telefon, a samodzielne 5G w smartwatchu to bardziej ciekawostka niż realna potrzeba.
Akcesoria do Galaxy Watch Ultra — co warto przygotować
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 retains a 47 mm titanium case, so bands and screens compatible with the current Ultra should also work with the new generation. We will confirm the final compatibility right after the launch.
