TheSamsung GalaxyWatch Ultra could be one of thebest smartwatchesto launch this year, clearly seeking some inspiration from theApple Watch Ultraand looking to put Wear OS devices on the map.
It’s expected to launch atGalaxy Unpackedon 10 July and we’ve already seen a number of leaks surrounding this device. We’ve seen imagesrevealing a new design– switching to a squarer overall aesthetic – while giving us a glimpse at a strap that’s highly reminiscent ofApple’s Ocean Band on Watch Ultra.
Now, thanks to a leak landing atDealabs(via 91mobiles) we have a list of the full specs for the watch. That tells us that the Galaxy Watch Ultra will come in a 47mm size, larger than the Galaxy Watch 7 that will offer 40mm and 44mm options.
It will result in a 1.5-inch display, 480 x 480 pixels, with a pixel density of 327ppi. That happens to be the same quality as theApple WatchUltra. It’s a Super AMOLED display.
The watch itself measures 47.4 x 47.1 x 12.1mm and weighs 60.5g with a titanium case topped with sapphire glass. The rear is glass too.
It offers an IP68 protection rating, 10 ATM waterproofing and conforms to MIL-STD 810 H standards, so this thing is going to be rugged.

How does Galaxy Watch Ultra compare to the Apple Watch Ultra?
As we’ve already explored, it offers the same pixel density as theApple Watch Ultra 2, which also has an OLED display. It appears to offer similar durability with that 810 H and IP68 rating too, while the sapphire crystal and titanium body also going toe-to-toe.
There’s no way to compare the processor performance and Apple’s device has double the storage. There’s no mention of ultra-wideband on Samsung’s device (which would enable things like digital car keys), but we assume it will offer Samsung Pay to rival Apple Pay.
It looks as though Samsung is also going to offer the same run of sensors, perhaps omitting the depth gauge and temperature sensor, maybe because Samsung doesn’t think you’ll be using it for SCUBA diving.
Of course, hardware is only part of the picture, what this spec leak doesn’t tell us anything about is the software features. Will Wear OS 5 be able to compete with watchOS? We’re expecting Samsung to make some key announcements around Galaxy AI at Unpacked and that could make the Galaxy Watch Ultra super smart.
