Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Unveiled in Leaked Models

After being absent last year, Samsung appears to be developing a successor to the Galaxy Watch Ultra, potentially offering two variations.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is anticipated to launch with model number SM-L716, while a firmware build for SM-L715F has been spotted on Samsung’s servers by Dutch website Galaxy Club.

In Samsung’s naming convention, ‘6’ indicates 5G connectivity, suggesting the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 may offer this feature. However, the existence of a 5G-less model is unexpected.

While details are scarce, introducing a 4G/LTE variant could provide a more budget-friendly option for consumers seeking an alternative to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-only smartwatches.

While the original Galaxy Watch Ultra aimed to be a budget-friendly option compared to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, its price dropped soon after launch.

By offering an affordable alternative from the start, Samsung can cater to consumers amidst rising tech prices and attract early adopters seeking a deal.

Recent reports indicate price increases for Samsung’s phones in South Korea, emphasizing the importance of providing cost-effective options.

To compete with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Garmin’s offerings, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 may need to enhance mapping features and keep up with Garmin’s advancements in more budget-friendly devices.

With competition from Garmin and Apple, Samsung’s upcoming smartwatch will need to offer compelling features to stand out in the market.
