Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Leak

Galaxy S26 Ultra buyers who plan to stay in Samsung’s ecosystem may want to watch the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 leak, because it points to a split in connectivity options by region.

A Samsung device with model number SM-L716 appeared earlier in an IMEI database, and the “6” was taken as a sign of a 5G variant. Now a firmware build for SM-L715F has been spotted on Samsung’s servers, which lines up with Samsung’s typical labeling for a 4G/LTE version.

What the model numbers suggest

Samsung often uses different suffixes or digits to separate connectivity tiers. In this case, the newer firmware sighting implies the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could ship in more than one cellular configuration rather than a single global model.

Possible regional split

The report indicates the 5G version may be limited to South Korea and the United States, while the 4G/LTE version could be the one sold more broadly elsewhere. If that holds, international buyers may not get a 5G option, even if the watch name is the same.

Chipset expectations

Separately, Qualcomm has stated that Samsung’s next flagship smartwatch is expected to use the Snapdragon Wear Elite chipset. Beyond that, there are no detailed specs confirmed publicly from Samsung in this leak.

Timing

Samsung is expected to announce its next flagship smartwatch in July, alongside its next foldables. Until Samsung confirms lineups and region lists, treat this as an early signal rather than a final product plan.

Why this matters for shoppers

Connectivity differences can affect ongoing ownership costs and convenience. If you travel or switch carriers often, the difference between LTE and 5G support may matter less than basics like battery behavior, signal reliability, and how quickly your phone hands off notifications.

For comparison shoppers looking at a bigger purchase cycle, the same ecosystem questions show up when weighing iPhone 17 Pro Max, Galaxy S26 Ultra, and Pixel 10 Pro. Buyers tend to look at display refresh rate, battery capacity, camera module size, and day-to-day charging habits. On accessories, MagSafe compatibility is often a deciding factor for iPhone users, while Samsung and Google buyers typically focus on wireless charging and case ecosystems.
