GALAXY WATCH

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 and Ultra 2 reportedly coming in 2026

The Short Version

Wear OS code references Galaxy Watch 9, Watch 9 Classic, and Watch Ultra 2, with Raise-to-Talk voice commands and a possible Snapdragon Wear Elite chip in the Ultra.

Samsung is reportedly splitting its Galaxy Watch 9 lineup into three models this summer, and a new chip is entering the mix. The Watch 9 and Watch 9 Classic keep last year's Exynos W1000 processor, while the Ultra 2 reportedly gets Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite. Samsung is saving its best hardware for buyers willing to pay more, and leaving the standard models on recycled silicon. Code found inside Wear OS, the software that runs these watches, also points to a new Raise-to-Talk voice command feature across all three. The Ultra 2 gets a faster brain; everyone else gets a new way to talk to their wrist.
