Here’s how the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will improve its connectivity

Samsung is widely expected to launch the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 this year, to mark its predecessor’s two-year anniversary. The most likely scenario is it being unveiled alongside the Galaxy Z Flip8 and Galaxy Z Fold8. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 was recently rumored to employ the just-announced Snapdragon Wear Elite SoC, which would differentiate the Ultra further from the Galaxy Watch9 it’s supposedly launching with (as that model would keep using the Exynos W1000 also seen in the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch7).

Now a new rumor tells us about another upgrade that Samsung has allegedly baked into the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2: 5G connectivity. Its predecessor maxed out at 4G, so this would be a welcome addition and yet another feature that would justify that Ultra name (and the associated price point).

With this addition, Samsung would follow in Apple’s footsteps, as the Cupertino company brought 5G connectivity to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 which launched in September of last year.
