Galaxy Watch Ultra: Leaked Specs

The Ultra variant will likely have a massive 590mAh battery.
The Watch 7 will have a 300mAh battery for its 40mm model and a 425mAh battery for the 44mm model, putting them on par with the battery sizes of the Galaxy Watch 6 models.
Both the Galaxy Watch 7 and its Ultra variant may further benefit from a 3nm Exynos processor that may be more power-efficient and possibly provide more value in terms of performance, as it will come with a 5-core CPU and 32GB storage.
These smartwatches from Samsung may indeed give other brands stiff competition in terms of overall performance and efficiency.
The Watch Ultra may be seen with a Titanium (Grade 4) chassis and sapphire crystal glass display.
There could be three color variants of the Watch Ultra in Titanium Grey, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Beige.
How Will it Compare to the Apple Watch Ultra 2?
The rest of the specs suggest the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a bigger battery, with a similar brightness and water resistance up to 100 meters, compared to the rumored Apple Watch Ultra 2.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is rumoured to have an aerospace-grade Titanium chassis, often claimed to be Grade 5, which is higher than the rumored Grade 4 Titanium of the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Apart from that, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is also said to have more storage on board compared to the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Galaxy Watch 7: Specs
In contrast, the regular Watch 7 may only be offered in Green and Cream colour variants.
Regarding display brightness, the Watch 7 is expected to retain the 2,000 nits peak brightness of its predecessor, while the Watch 7 Ultra could reach an impressive 3,000 nits.
- 40mm and 44mm size options
- 300mAh (40mm) and 425mAh (44mm) batteries
- 3nm Exynos processor with 5-core CPU and 32GB storage
- Armor Aluminum 2 body and sapphire crystal glass display
- 5ATM + IP68 water/dust resistance
- Green and Cream colour options

Another major difference between the two variants is that the Watch 7 is supposedly available as cellular-only, and the Ultra might even come in a choice of cellular or Bluetooth-only models.
However, both watches are expected to support L1+L5 dual-frequency GPS for accurate location tracking.
Another rumour about the Watch 7 Ultra is that there should be a dedicated Quick Button for quick actions, apart from the Home and Back buttons.
The standard Watch 7 is likely to only sport the Home and Back buttons.
The Watch Ultra’s body is also supposed to be made of Armor Aluminium 2, whereas the standard Watch 7 is also going to have a sapphire crystal glass display.
Both watches could be MIL-STD-810H certified for durability, but the Watch Ultra could offer slightly better water resistance with 10ATM+ IP68 compared to the 5ATM+ IP68 of the Watch 7.
