It’s time for some Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 spoilers. Thanks to leaked press renders courtesy of Evleaks—who is mysteriously back from his retirement in May?— there’s now very little left to the imagination, at least in the looks department.

As you can see, the display is still circular, but there are now 1-12 hour markings on the bezel. The strap appears to be all silicone, and you can clearly see health sensors on the underside as well as speakers on the side. A quick zoom into the back of the smartwatch shows that it’s 47mm, sapphire crystal, and also supports both LTE and GPS. There’s no other official information in the leaked renders, but previous leaks suggest that the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will come with the Snapdragon Wear Elite processor and 2GB RAM. Probably even more exciting is the rumored 800mAh battery, which is notably larger than the first-gen Galaxy Watch Ultra’s 590mAh battery and Apple Watch Ultra 3’s 599mAh battery.

If you’re not an Ultra kind of person, there’s some Samsung smartwatch news for you, too. The Galaxy Watch 9 also had official renders leaked via OnLeaks/Android Headlines this past weekend. From the looks of it, the Galaxy Watch 9 will look virtually the same as the Galaxy Watch 8, and sensors appear to be identical, too. The Galaxy Watch 9 appears slated to come in two color options, depending on size: the 40mm version will have either a cream or graphite color, while the 44mm version will be available in silver or graphite.

There’s not a ton of compelling info in either leak, admittedly—no price, release date, or new features—but an official reveal could come soon. Samsung hasn’t annouced its summer Unpacked event, but rumors suggest it could happen in July. In any case, I’m betting it won’t be an ultra-long wait to hear more about Samsung’s next Galaxy Ultra smartwatch.
