> A new spec leak claims the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 both run Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite chip, contradicting earlier reports that only the Ultra 2 would drop Samsung's own Exynos, while Samsung's own teaser hints the upgrade might still be Ultra-exclusive.

A new leak sourced to [WinFuture claims both the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 will run Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite chip](https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-watch-9-ultra-2-price-bluetooth-version/), not Samsung's own Exynos W1000. That contradicts most reporting up to this point, which expected the Watch 9 to keep Exynos while only the Ultra 2 got the Snapdragon upgrade.

The chip is a five-core SW6100 built on a 3nm process, with one performance core at up to 2.1GHz and four efficiency cores at 1.95GHz. Battery capacity reportedly holds at 325mAh for the 40mm Watch 9 and rises to 445mAh on the 44mm, while the Ultra 2 jumps to 800mAh, up more than 35% from the original Ultra's 590mAh. Bluetooth 6.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, and NFC are said to be standard across the lineup, and European pricing reportedly starts at €409 for the base 40mm Watch 9 and reaches €749 for the Ultra 2 with LTE.

SamMobile also reports Samsung is teasing an AI-powered Galaxy Watch with "all-new internal components," using "Watch" in the singular, phrasing that reads like one specific model getting the upgrade rather than the full lineup, which sits at odds with a leak claiming all three watches share the same new chip. One of these is going to be wrong on July 22.
