Samsung could be planning to release three new Galaxy Watch models this summer, according to a recent code leak.
The company may announce the Galaxy Watch 9, Galaxy Watch 9 Classic, and a second-generation Galaxy Watch Ultra at a rumored July 22 event.

The leak comes from Android Authority, which discovered three new codenames in a Google Wear OS app update: Fresh 9, Wise 9, and Project X2.
Based on last year's naming pattern, these likely correspond to the standard Watch 9, the Classic version, and the Ultra 2.
If true, launching a Watch 9 Classic would break Samsung's recent pattern of skipping a year between Classic models.

The move would please fans who prefer the physical rotating bezel and don't want to wait until 2027 for an update.
Internally, the Watch 9 and Watch 9 Classic are expected to reuse the Exynos W1000 chip from last year's lineup.

However, the Ultra 2 may switch to Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, offering a performance boost.
The code also hints at a new feature: raise-to-talk. A string labeled "RttSettingsManager3pWearOs" suggests Google is expanding this capability to third-party Wear OS devices.
Galaxy Watch users could activate their voice assistant simply by lifting their wrist, without needing a wake word.
