Table of contents Has Samsung announced the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2? When will the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 release? How much will the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 cost? Expected specs of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2? Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 vs Galaxy Watch Ultra What we still do not know A new Galaxy Watch Ultra is on the way, and the early signs point to one of the biggest upgrades the Ultra line has seen. Samsung has refreshed its own health app, and Qualcomm has detailed a new chip built for the next Galaxy Watch. Regulatory filings add to the picture too, even though Samsung has stayed quiet about the name. This guide separates what is confirmed from the leak, so you know what to trust. It covers the expected launch date, pricing, key features and upgrades, and how the device compares with the current Galaxy Watch Ultra. Has Samsung announced the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2? Samsung has not confirmed the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 yet. As of June 20, 2026, the company has not sent out an Unpacked invite or used the name “Galaxy Watch Ultra 2” in any official statement. Four things tied to the watch have surfaced so far. A Samsung Health app overhaul. On June 4, 2026, Samsung’s Global Newsroom announced a major update to the Samsung Health app, rolling out from June 8. Samsung built the update for “the upcoming Galaxy Watch,” though it stopped short of naming the device. Hon Pak, who leads Samsung’s Digital Health team, said the update connects your health data to AI-driven insights to help you better understand your body. The app now centers on five areas: Sleep, Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness, and Vitals. New features include: Vitals checks five overnight signals (heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen) against your baseline and alerts you only when something looks off. Heart Health Score, a single daily number that replaces last year’s Vascular Load and blends your sleep, stress, activity, and body composition data. Daily Cardio Load, which tracks how much strain your body has taken on and suggests when to train and when to rest. Fitness Index, which compares your heart rate and VO2 max against your peers and factors in your daily steps. Hearing Health, which uses your watch’s microphone to flag loud places that could damage your hearing. Antioxidant Index and AGEs Index upgrades, both of which now track trends over time instead of single readings. This update applies to the whole Galaxy Watch lineup, not just the Ultra 2. Current Watch owners get the redesigned app now, but the full feature set is tied to new hardware coming later this year. A new chip has been confirmed for the next Galaxy Watch. At MWC 2026 in March, Qualcomm confirmed that the next Galaxy Watch will use its new Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. Samsung backed this up with an on-record quote from InKang Song, who leads technology strategy for Samsung’s mobile business. He said the new chip will help the watch become an even more complete wellness companion. Here is what the Snapdragon Wear Elite brings: A 3nm chip with one fast core at 2.1GHz and four efficiency cores at 1.95GHz. Up to 5 times the CPU power and 7 times the GPU power of the previous Snapdragon wearable chip, enough to render 1080p video at 60fps. A dedicated AI chip that can run models with up to 2 billion parameters right on your wrist, working through about 10 tokens every second, with no phone or cloud needed. 30% more battery life than the last generation, plus a 50% charge in around 10 minutes. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0, UWB, GPS, 5G, and satellite messaging support, all in one chip. Qualcomm named Samsung and Google as launch partners for the chip, along with Motorola. There is a catch, though. Samsung and Qualcomm only said “the next generation Galaxy Watch,” not which model gets it. This has led to conflicting reports. Some outlets say both the Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 get the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. Other sources claim only the Watch Ultra 2 gets it, while the standard Watch 9 keeps the older Exynos W1000. A separate leak goes further, claiming a regional split: the US version of the Watch Ultra 2 uses a Snapdragon chip with 5G, while the European version keeps the Exynos chip with LTE. Even the model numbers do not fully agree. An earlier leak pointed to SM-L716 as the US 5G model, but a more recent FCC filing lists the US carrier model as SM-L715U instead. Samsung has not confirmed any of these versions, so treat the chip question as open until Samsung says otherwise. The Unpacked date. Korean media reports point to July 22, 2026, in London, as the date for Samsung’s next Unpacked event, where the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is expected to share the stage with the Galaxy Watch 9, the Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 Wide, and Samsung’s new Galaxy Glasses. Samsung has not confirmed this date. Regulatory filings. In the middle of June 2026, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 cleared both FCC and CMIIT certification under the model number SM-L715, with SM-L715F for global markets and SM-L715U for US carriers. Neither filing included a Watch 9 Classic model number, which is a strong sign Samsung is skipping a Classic model this year. A separate charging certification from China’s 3C agency confirmed the Watch Ultra 2 sticks with 10W wired charging, the same speed as before. India’s BIS database and additional CMIIT listings also confirmed the device exists, though none of these filings listed a battery capacity. When will the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 release? Last year’s launch gives the clearest clue here. Samsung announced the Galaxy Watch Ultra on July 9, 2025, and put it on sale on July 25, a gap of 16 days. If Samsung follows that same pattern this year, expect the Galaxy Watch Ultra

Table of contents Quick comparison Galaxy Buds4 Pro Galaxy Buds4 Galaxy Buds3 Pro Galaxy Buds3 Galaxy Buds3 FE Galaxy Buds Core Open fit or sealed: what the difference actually means Which one should you buy? Should you wait for the Galaxy Buds Able? Samsung currently sells six different Galaxy Buds models right now, but the names alone do not make it obvious which pair is right for you. From the budget-friendly Buds Core to the flagshipBuds4 Pro, each model is designed for a different kind of listener, with varying features. This guide breaks down every Galaxy Buds model available today to help you choose the right pair for your budget and needs. You will find a quick comparison table, a full breakdown of each model, an explainer on the two main earbud designs Samsung uses, and a final verdict on which pair to buy. Quick comparison Here is how the six current Galaxy Buds models stack up at a glance. Galaxy Buds4 Pro Image source: Marques Brownlee on YouTube Samsung announced the Buds4 Pro on February 25, 2026, alongside the Galaxy S26 phones, and it went on sale on March 11. It costs $249 in the US, £219 in the UK, and R4,999 in South Africa. These buds use a sealed, in-ear design with silicone tips in three sizes. Each earbud carries two drivers, an 11mm woofer and a 5.5mm tweeter, which give you fuller bass and clearer highs than a single driver can manage. Noise canceling is where the Buds4 Pro stands out. Lab testing by SoundGuys found it blocks about 84% of outside noise at full strength. That beats the older Buds3 Pro, though it still trails the Sony WF-1000XM6 and the Apple AirPods Pro 3, which both cancel slightly more noise. Battery life sits in the middle of the pack. You get about 6 hours with ANC turned on and 8.5 hours with it off, based on independent lab tests. The case adds roughly three and a half extra charges. A few features only show up on this model: Head Gestures, so you can nod to accept a call or shake your head to decline it 360 Audio with head tracking, for a more immersive listening feel A dedicated 360 Audio recording mode Six microphones plus a voice pickup sensor for clearer calls in noisy places It comes in Black, White, and Pink Gold, with Pink Gold sold only through Samsung’s online store. If you already own a Galaxy phone, this is the easiest pair to recommend. TechRadar called the sound fantastic, but pointed out that the best features only work on Samsung devices. Galaxy Buds4 The standard Buds4 launched on the same day as the Pro, at $179 in the US and £159 in the UK. It uses an open fit design with no ear tips, similar to the original AirPods. This design makes the Buds4 light and comfortable for long wear, but it comes at a cost. Lab tests show that the open fit limits how well ANC can work, since there is no seal to block outside sound in the first place. Water resistance also drops to IP54, a step down from what the Buds3 offered. Battery life is about 5 hours with ANC on and 6 hours with ANC off, almost identical to the older Buds3. You still get the full set of Galaxy AI features, including Live Translate and Interpreter mode, just without Head Gestures, which Samsung kept exclusive to the Pro. SoundGuys called it the best unsealed earbud for Samsung users, but warned that an unstable fit can hurt both sound and noise canceling. If you already know open-fit earbuds suit your ears, this is a solid pick. If not, the Buds4 Pro will serve you better. Galaxy Buds3 Pro Image source: 6 Months Later on YouTube Before the Buds4 Pro, this was Samsung’s flagship. It launched in July 2024 at $249.99, the same price as its successor, and uses a similar dual-driver setup with a 10.5mm woofer and 6.1mm tweeter. Noise canceling sits a step below the Buds4 Pro. SoundGuys measured about a 76% reduction with ANC on, compared to 84% on the newer model. Battery life is roughly 6 hours with ANC on. Now that the Buds4 Pro has replaced it as the flagship, you can often find the Buds3 Pro discounted well below its original price, sometimes for less than half. If you want most of what the Buds4 Pro offers without paying full price, this is the model to look for. Galaxy Buds3 The standard Buds3 launched on the same day as the Buds3 Pro and also uses an open-fit design. Originally $179.99, it now sells for much less. Lab testing found ANC reduces noise by only about 35%, well below what the sealed models manage. Battery life matches the Buds4 at around 5 hours with ANC on. SoundGuys put it simply: pick the Buds3 only if open-fit earbuds already fit you well and you want wireless charging at a lower price. For most people, the Buds3 FE is a better choice at a similar price point. Galaxy Buds3 FE Image source: Mike O’Brien on YouTube The Buds3 FE launched in September 2025 at $149.99, and it might be the smartest buy in the whole lineup. It uses a sealed design with ear tips, and despite costing $100 less than the Buds4 Pro, its noise canceling actually tests stronger. SoundGuys measured 86% noise reduction with ANC on, beating every other model in this guide, including the flagships. Battery life is also strong, at 8.5 hours with ANC off and up to 30 hours total with the case. You still get most of the Galaxy AI features that matter day to day, including Live Translate, Bixby, and a 9-band EQ with six presets. In everyday use, the only things missing are wireless charging and multipoint, an easy trade for the price you pay. SoundGuys called it the Goldilocks of the Galaxy Buds lineup, and it is hard

Alma Asinobi remembered the moment reality set in. The profession she had prepared for would not fund the life she wanted to live. It was late 2020, and she had just finished her master’s degree in architecture from Covenant University, Ota, in Southwestern Nigeria. Asinobi did the math: if she stayed in the profession and stretched a Nigerian junior architect’s salary, she would not be able to travel the way she wanted. According to Glassdoor data from July 2022, junior architects in Lagos earned between ₦124,000 and ₦208,000 ($299–$502 at the official exchange rate at the time) monthly, underscoring the modest pay many early-career professionals in Nigeria’s architecture industry received. But before this awakening, Asinobi had been quietly building other skills. She managed a blog, ran a small thrift business and learned how communities formed around social media. She applied for a content writing role at an investment management startup, Cowrywise, in late 2020. Although she didn’t get the job, her writing caught the attention of a human resources manager who found her Instagram profile and later offered her a content marketing strategist role. “My entire career in tech started not because I studied anything in marketing,” she said. “It was just me putting out these skills I already had.” She built a community on the Cowrywise app around savings and took on consulting work. By the time she decided to leave the role, she had assembled what she calls six streams of income, and none of it came from the degree she had spent years pursuing. The first trip beyond the Nigerian border But the real shift that would define her next five years came in 2020, on a weekend road trip to Benin Republic that she said cost her ₦45,500 ($121.62, using the exchange rate as of March 2020). It was an escape with two friends, and only a few days before the COVID-19 pandemic locked the world down. “We got a taxi, took a drive to the border, and then we stayed in Benin Republic for the weekend,” she said. Asinobi documented all the trip entailed, and pulled it all together into an ebook and put it up for pre-order while she was still travelling. By the time she returned to Lagos, the pre-order sales had exceeded what she had spent on the entire trip. “I realised that there was a gap,” she said. “Many people wanted the information, but not enough people were sharing it.” During the lockdown, when travel was not possible, she shared what she was learning about the creator economy. When the world reopened, she travelled to Senegal in November 2021, deliberately flooding her feeds with content, so that she would not be known merely as someone who travelled occasionally, but as someone for whom travel was central. Asinobi shared, “During that period, I started to post a lot more about my trips and everything, and I knew that I was coming closer and closer to the end of my time in the nine-to-five.” By January 2022, she said she had to quit her fintech job to pursue content creation full-time. In August that same year, she received an offer to resume a role as an associate in content & performance marketing from a Nairobi and Berlin-based company, Kwara, a startup turning credit unions into modern digital banks. The role allowed her to temporarily move to Nairobi, Kenya, which she did through an East African Visa by October of the same year. Months later, Asinobi, in pursuit of another stream of income to fund her travel lifestyle, said she realised she wanted to build a travel company. At this point, she was also planning one-off trips for people, ranging from honeymoons to getaways, while providing information on visa applications, and also growing her personal brand as a travel content creator. Earnings in foreign currency from her role at Kwara also allowed her to save and build her travel fund without the fluctuations common to the Naira. In December 2022, she returned to Nigeria and realised that the demand for travel information from her travel community was overwhelming. People were reaching out to ask for help with visas and inquiring about how to navigate travel systems. The same month, she launched Kaijego, her travel business, after realising that she could not help people at scale without structure. The name “Kaijego” is linked to Asinobi’s Igbo roots, a tribe in Southeastern Nigeria; combining “Ka anyi je” (let’s go) with “Anyi e je go” (we have gone). Kaijego solves a specific problem: Africans want to travel. But they are immobilised by the fear of going alone, fear of visa rejection, fear of the sheer machinery of planning in a system that was not built for them. Kaijego removes part of that friction. It provides companions, a route, and proof that the journey is possible. In March 2023, Kaijego had its first group trip to Beirut, Lebanon. And Asinobi learned something: the trip itself is not the endpoint. The first Kaijego trip. Image source: Kaijego/IG “When people travel with us for the first time, they realise there’s more,” she said. “There’s more to see, more to do, more of the world they want to see. And within a few trips, they’re already considering moving abroad, and building different lives.” Travel, she also discovered, is about perspective. It is about knowing what 24-hour electricity feels like, what a road without potholes looks like, and what becomes possible when you see it with your own eyes instead of imagining it from home. “When they come back home with that perspective, they know what exists,” she said. “They can demand more.” Kaijego in Jordan, October 2023. Image source: Kaijego/IG She sees the gaps that keep Africans grounded: the opaque and capricious visa systems, the currency conversions that make travel prohibitively expensive, the ecosystem of visa agents charging different prices for the same service, and the lack of transparency about why applications are denied. African travellers paid a steep price
