Samsung App Code Reveals Three New Wearables Before Unpacked Event

Sneak peek into Samsung’s upcoming wearables lineup emerges from app code ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event.

Galaxy’s New Wearables Are Just Around the Corner

With only about two weeks left before Samsung’s big Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, the excitement is building. While the spotlight will undoubtedly shine on the much-anticipated foldable smartphones — Galaxy Z Fold 8 smartphone, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 smartphone — Samsung isn’t stopping there. Leaks from the brand’s own app code have unveiled intriguing details about a fresh batch of wearable tech, including smartwatches and wireless earbuds. As a self-confessed Samsung fan, these tidbits sparked my curiosity, and I’m here to break down everything we know so far.

First Look: Samsung’s Earbuds With a Twist

Schematics from Samsung’s app hint at a fresh design

In the latest version of the Galaxy Wearable app, a new audio device named Galaxy Able earbuds has popped up. Initially, it was referenced as Galaxy Buds Able, but Samsung seems to have streamlined the name, signaling the product is nearing its launch. However, Samsung has kept technical details tightly under wraps, leaving room for speculation.

Some whispers say the earbuds might use bone conduction technology — a fascinating approach that sends sound vibrations directly through the cheekbones, bypassing the eardrum. But earlier leaks hinted at an open-type design featuring an ear clip for stability.

This clip-on style is catching on, with competitors like Sony’s LinkBuds Clip and Huawei’s FreeClip already embracing it. Unlike traditional earbuds that block the ear canal, these clip-style buds allow ambient sounds to come through naturally. Imagine jogging in the park and still hearing the birds without cranking up your music—pretty neat, right?

Official Confirmation: Galaxy Watch 9 and Ultra 2

Official device list in Samsung’s mobile app confirms new smartwatch models

Staying within the Galaxy Wearable app, the exact names of Samsung’s upcoming smartwatches have been confirmed: Galaxy Watch 9 smartwatch and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 smartwatch. It’s like getting a backstage pass before the main show!

Design-wise, Samsung is keeping things familiar; the new watches won’t stray far from their predecessors’ looks. But the real magic lies under the hood.

The Galaxy Watch 9 will be powered by the new Exynos W1000 chip, promising snappy performance and more efficient power consumption. The premium Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will sport the Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, aiming to deliver top-tier speed and functionality.

One of the highlights is the Ultra 2’s upgraded OLED display, with a peak brightness soaring to a whopping 5000 nits. To put that in perspective, the previous generation’s 3000-nit screen was already impressively visible in direct sunlight. This means your screen will shine even brighter during those sunny outdoor adventures.

A Summer Unpacked Event Packed With Surprises

This year’s Galaxy Unpacked looks set to be one of Samsung’s most ambitious yet. Alongside the eye-catching Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra smartphone with its slimmed-down frame and the wider standard Z Fold 8, we’ll be getting a look at these fresh wearables.

The addition of the new clip-style earbuds to the wearable lineup adds an unexpected twist to the mix. It’s exciting to think Samsung is experimenting boldly with new form factors, which might just redefine how we use earphones in daily life.

Why These Wearables Matter

The wearables market is arguably at a crossroads. Technological advances have plateaued somewhat, so brands must innovate in design and usability. Open-type clip-style earbuds challenge the conventional wisdom of isolating users in their personal audio bubbles. Instead, they promote a safer, more connected listening experience by keeping the wearer aware of their environment.

For Samsung, launching these earbuds is a litmus test to see if mainstream consumers are ready to trade the isolation of noise-canceling in-ear buds for a more open, ambient soundscape.

As a fan who’s seen many headphones and earbuds come and go, this shift feels like a breath of fresh air in a crowded market.

“Samsung is testing if buyers are ready to ditch traditional noise-canceling earbuds for a safer, more open sound experience.”
