The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 doesn’t have many secrets left, but a new leak has finally put a face to the rumors. Marketing images shared by tipster Evan Blass through his newsletter show off Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartwatch in two colorways, revealing details that all but confirm weeks of spec leaks.

A bigger battery in a slimmer case

The fresh leak corroborates a report from last month suggesting that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is getting a massive battery upgrade, going up from 590mAh on the current model to 800mAh. It further reveals that Samsung has somehow managed to achieve this even though the new model is 12 percent slimmer.

The promotional images also highlight that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will retain the titanium construction, but its ingress protection rating will climb to IP69K. Samsung will reportedly offer it in two color options, a titanium version with an olive green band and an all-black version with a matching band. Both will feature an orange ring around the crown.

The chip swap and brighter display also get a mention

Rumors about Samsung dropping Exynos for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite across its entire 2026 watch lineup have been circulating for weeks. This also appears in one of the marketing images, which shows a “Powered by Snapdragon Wear Elite” badge over the watch’s internals. The chip’s dedicated NPU is expected to enable on-device AI features, something Samsung alluded to in its teasers. The images also point to a display capable of up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, which also aligns with previous reports.

Samsung hasn’t acknowledged the leak, and pricing remains unconfirmed, though previous reports point to a hike across the Galaxy Watch lineup. But it won’t be long before we have the final figures once the company takes the stage at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22.

Google may have accidentally revealed a fitness tracker that it has not announced yet. New Pixel 11 advertisements appearing on YouTube show a small, screen-equipped wearable that does not appear to be the Pixel Watch 5 or the Fitbit Air, raising questions about whether Google is preparing another fitness device.

The ads were spotted by Reddit users over the past day and appear to promote the refreshed Pixel lineup. One advertisement shows Pixel 11 phones alongside a Pixel Watch 5, while another features several Google devices in matching green colors. Both ads also include the mystery tracker. Multiple advertisements showing the same device have been spotted, with at least two users reportedly seeing it.

Apple has added several new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro configurations to its Certified Refurbished Store, alongside more iPhone 16 Plus models and Apple Watches.

The MacBook Air additions arrive at a particularly useful time. New M5 MacBook Air models are currently running in short supply across Apple’s retail network, with some configurations facing delivery estimates stretching into late August or September. Apple also raised MacBook Air prices in June, so students shopping before the new school year are being asked to spend more while potentially waiting longer to get one.
