# Samsung Confirms Galaxy Watch9, Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Able Names Ahead of July 22 Unpacked
Code inside an official update to Samsung's Galaxy Wearable app has locked in the names of the company's next three wearables, while a separate pricing leak details how much more each Galaxy Watch9 and Watch Ultra2 configuration will cost in Europe.
## Galaxy Wearable App Code Renames Buds Able to Galaxy Able
Version 2.2.70.26060861 of the Galaxy Wearable app, along with an earlier build numbered 2.2.68.26010761, contains strings naming the Galaxy Watch9, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Able, according to [the app code discovery](https://sammyguru.com/galaxy-able-name-confirmed-galaxy-wearable-app/). The listing is managed through a system plugin identified as com.samsung.accessory.ablemgr, which points to a dedicated companion device rather than a placeholder string.
The Able name itself has shifted. Earlier firmware teardowns in April referred to the product as "Galaxy Buds Able," and some reporting at the time speculated the eventual retail name might drop further still, to "Galaxy Buds On." The newer app code instead settles on "Galaxy Able," cutting the "Buds" prefix entirely — [the confirmed device names](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_confirms_the_names_of_the_galaxy_watch9_galaxy_watch_ultra2_and_galaxy_able-news-73588.php) describe this as a deliberate branding change rather than an incidental naming inconsistency between builds.
That distinction matters for how much weight to put on this leak. App-string and plugin-name leaks tend to hold up better than icon or asset teardowns, because they come from functional code Samsung has to ship rather than placeholder art. [The Galaxy Able report](https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulmonckton/2026/07/05/samsung-galaxy-able-watch-leak/) notes the watch names were corroborated by matching screenshots from a separate leaker, which is the kind of cross-source agreement this category of leak doesn't always get.

## WinFuture's Leaked Price List Shows Uneven Increases Across the Watch9 Line
Some early coverage of the pricing leak characterized it as a blanket European increase of roughly 10 percent. The line-item figures tell a more specific story: the increase is fixed in euros per configuration, not scaled as a flat percentage, so the smallest and cheapest Watch9 model absorbs a larger percentage jump than the priciest one. [The European pricing leak](https://9to5google.com/2026/07/06/galaxy-watch-9-ultra-reportedly-gets-price-increase/) puts the 40mm Bluetooth-only Watch9 at €409 (up €40), the 40mm LTE model at €459 (up €50), the 44mm Bluetooth model at €439 (up €30), and the 44mm LTE model at €489 (up €30). The Watch Ultra2, sold only with LTE, is expected at €749, up €50 from the original Ultra.

US pricing hasn't leaked at the same line-item detail. [The wearable leak roundup](https://www.phonearena.com/news/samsungs-next-three-wearables-are-practically-official-but-this-one-will-surely-surprise-you_id181664) and related coverage put the likely US increase at around $50 across the board, but that figure is an estimate extrapolated from the European numbers rather than a confirmed US price sheet, since euro-to-dollar list prices don't convert directly.
## Watch Ultra2's Snapdragon Chip and 5,000-Nit Screen Widen the Gap With the Standard Watch9
The pricing gap tracks a hardware gap. The standard Galaxy Watch9 is expected to carry over the Exynos W1000 chipset from its predecessor, according to [the confirmed device names](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_confirms_the_names_of_the_galaxy_watch9_galaxy_watch_ultra2_and_galaxy_able-news-73588.php), which frames this as a rumor rather than a settled spec. The Watch Ultra2, by contrast, is expected to move to Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear Elite, while staying on an LTE modem rather than jumping to 5G. Its OLED panel is rumored to reach 5,000 nits of peak brightness, up from 3,000 nits on the original Ultra.

Neither leak addresses whether the design language itself changes; past rumors point to similar cases for both watches, with the Ultra2 possibly gaining a rotating bezel that some Watch8 owners have wanted.
## What the App Leak Still Doesn't Confirm About Galaxy Able's Audio Hardware
The naming and pricing leaks rest on relatively solid ground: app code, corroborated screenshots, and a pricing source with a track record on Samsung's other 2026 devices. The audio technology inside Galaxy Able rests on thinner evidence. The bone-conduction claim traces back to a single outlet's reporting from earlier in the year and hasn't been independently corroborated by a second source, even as the naming itself has since been confirmed through app code. Visual leaks of the device's icon, meanwhile, suggest a clip-on, open-ear form similar to the Sony LinkBuds Clip or Huawei FreeClip 2 — a shape that's just as compatible with conventional micro-drivers as it is with bone conduction.
That gap matters for how readers should treat the "Able" name itself. The confirmed part is that Samsung is building a clip-on, open-ear product and has settled on branding that drops "Buds" entirely, which app code now backs up. The unconfirmed part is the specific transducer technology inside it, which still depends on a single source's earlier reporting rather than anything in the recent app-code leak. Samsung's July 22 Unpacked event in London is the point at which this and the rest of the leaked specifications should move from rumor to confirmed product detail.
