A newcomer is about to shake up the world of high-end smartwatches. Featuring cutting-edge technology and a bold design, Samsungโs next creation promises to redefine the industryโs standards. Take a look behind the scenes of this exceptional watch that is set to make history in smartwatchmaking.
A smartwatch that pushes the limits
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is set to be the most powerful Android smartwatch ever. This newcomer to the Galaxy Watch range sports a resolutely innovative design that contrasts with the Korean brand's previous models.
Its square case with rounded corners houses a circular screen protected by ultra-resistant sapphire crystal. A bold aesthetic choice that will not fail to make fans react. The bright orange sports strap brings a welcome touch of dynamism.
Noble materials for a premium finish
Samsung has spared no expense in making its Galaxy Watch Ultra a true luxury item. The case is reportedly made of titanium, a metal that is both lightweight and ultra-resistant and is popular in high-end watchmaking.
The watch should be available in two colors: black and gray or silver and white. Neat finishes that should allow it to compete with the most prestigious models on the market.
A revolutionary screen for optimal readability
One of the Galaxy Watch Ultra's major assets could well be its screen. According to some sources, Samsung has opted for a latest-generation MicroLED panel. This technology offers significantly higher brightness, contrast and color saturation than traditional OLED screens.
With a maximum brightness of 3000 nits, the display should remain perfectly readable even in direct sunlight. A significant advantage for a watch intended for outdoor activities.
Improved performance thanks to a new chip
To power its many features, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to feature the all-new Exynos W940 processor. This 3nm chip promises 30% better performance than the previous generation, while reducing power consumption by 50%.
This improvement should result in a record autonomy of 100 hours according to some sources. Enough to go on a weekend without worrying about the charger.
New features for health monitoring
Samsung could make a big splash by integrating a blood sugar measurement function into its watch. This long-awaited technology would allow diabetics to monitor their blood sugar levels without pricking them. A real revolution if it is confirmed.
Sleep apnea detection is also among the new features announced. These features would complement an already well-stocked arsenal of health and fitness tracking.
A watch made for adventure
With its case waterproof up to 100 meters deep, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is clearly aimed at athletes and adventurers. It should withstand the most extreme conditions without flinching, whether scuba diving or high mountains.
The three physical buttons on the left edge of the case should make it easier to use even with gloves on. A significant advantage for winter use.
A price that matches its ambitions
So much cutting-edge technology obviously comes at a cost. The Galaxy Watch Ultra should therefore be marketed at around โฌ700. A premium positioning that puts it in direct competition with the Apple Watch Ultra.
Its release is expected for August, after an official presentation on July 10 at a Samsung Unpacked event in Paris. Pre-orders should open shortly afterward for actual availability a few weeks later.
A connected watch that bets on innovation
With its Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung seems determined to shake up the high-end smartwatch market. Its original design, noble materials and new features make it a serious competitor to the industry leaders.
It remains to be seen whether the public will be there for such a high price. But one thing is certain: this futuristic watch will leave no one indifferent.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra promises to be a concentrate of avant-garde technologies for the most demanding users. A creation that could well mark a turning point in the history of connected watches.
