Samsung's Next Smartwatch: 5G Access Tied to Your Country
8 Apr
Summary
- New Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 may offer 5G and 4G cellular models.
- Availability of 5G and 4G versions will depend on the country.
- Samsung typically unveils new watches in the summer.
Samsung's next high-end smartwatch, the rumored Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, may offer enhanced 5G connectivity, but its availability will be region-dependent.
Sources suggest the device will arrive in both 5G and 4G cellular variants, with specific countries determining which model users can purchase. The 5G edition is anticipated for markets like the US and South Korea.
The 4G version is expected to be available globally, catering to regions where 5G networks are less established. This move could allow the 5G model to directly challenge premium competitors such as the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
Official details are expected later this year, as Samsung traditionally launches its new smartwatch lineup in the summer, often alongside its foldable phones. Last year, Samsung released the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, while keeping the prior Ultra model in its product range.
