Fresh leaked renders of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch 9 series have surfaced, offering a clear look at the design and color options ahead of a likely summer launch.
The images, shared by reliable tipster OnLeaks via Android Headlines, reveal that Samsung is sticking with the familiar "squircle" shape—a rounded square that appears circular on the wrist.
On the back, the BioActive Sensor array appears largely unchanged, continuing to support health tracking features like ECG, blood pressure monitoring (where available), body composition analysis, and sleep tracking.
Two size options will be available: a 40mm model and a 44mm model.
The 40mm version comes in Cream and Graphite (with one render showing a slight greenish tint), while the 44mm variant is offered in Silver and Graphite.
Sporty silicone bands complete the practical, premium look.
Snapdragon Wear Elite Chipset
The biggest change is under the hood.
Samsung is reportedly moving from its in-house Exynos processors to Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, a 3nm chipset with a dedicated NPU for on-device AI.
This shift is expected to improve power efficiency, enable smarter gesture recognition, deliver more personalized health insights, and boost overall performance.
The Galaxy Watch 9 is anticipated to launch at a Samsung Unpacked event in July 2026, likely alongside new foldable phones and possibly the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
While display specifications and pricing remain unknown, the early leaks suggest Samsung is focusing on software and AI enhancements rather than a major design overhaul.
More details are expected in the coming weeks.
