<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a major update to the Samsung Health app making Sleep Coaching<sup data-fn="5b6ebe4c-795f-4370-8a9c-ef992b67a993" class="fn"><a href="#5b6ebe4c-795f-4370-8a9c-ef992b67a993" id="5b6ebe4c-795f-4370-8a9c-ef992b67a993-link">1</a></sup> even easier to start by lowering the data requirement to begin. The update also delivers more personalised sleep guidance and expanded running program tiers to help users build lasting, healthier routines.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sleep Coaching Becomes Easier to Start and More Personalised</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/14092656/1_Health-App-7.1-Update_Sleep-Coaching-1000x563.png" alt="" class="wp-image-26282" /></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls loop muted src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/14094531/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-Sleep-Coaching_Main1-2.mp4" playsinline></video></figure>



<p>While sleep tracking tells users how they slept, sleep coaching helps them sleep better by turning personal sleep goals and data into daily habits.</p>



<p>Samsung has made it even easier to begin sleep management. Users can now initiate Sleep Coaching with just three days of data within the past two weeks instead of seven days in a month.</p>



<p>During setup, users complete a survey on sleep regularity, sleep interruptions, alcohol and caffeine intake and subjective sleep satisfaction. With these survey responses and three days of sleep data, the app assigns a personalised Sleep Animal symbol and builds a tailored four- to eight-week coaching program based on individual goals. As users progress, the program dynamically adapts its weekly recommendations to reflect changing sleep patterns, tracking daily sleep satisfaction and lifestyle shifts.</p>



<p>Informed by principles of behavioral sleep science, the program gives users daily habit checklists and sleep tips — making it easier to build healthier routines, such as avoiding screens an hour before bed, skipping late caffeine and stretching outdoors after waking up.</p>



<p>Users can also enjoy more intuitive and detailed analysis reports. The new pentagon-shaped Sleep Balance graph consolidates five key aspects of sleep indicators —sleep time, sleep regularity, awake time during the night, sleep satisfaction, and Energy Score<sup data-fn="5fff3b48-74d0-4f7d-b6f3-16b65a322da4" class="fn"><a href="#5fff3b48-74d0-4f7d-b6f3-16b65a322da4" id="5fff3b48-74d0-4f7d-b6f3-16b65a322da4-link">2</a></sup>— to provide an at-a-glance view of sleep trends and areas that may warrant attention, based on data collected or inputted through sleep coaching.</p>



<p>Morning daily insight messages, which review the previous night’s sleep with helpful tips, integrate closely with weekly and final reports to provide a comprehensive view of sleep trends. By linking daily actions with this data-driven progress, Samsung Health helps users establish sustainable lifestyle habits to support everyday wellness.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expanded Running Programs and Strava Routes Integration</strong></h2>



<p>In response to the growing popularity of running, Running Coach<sup data-fn="e62a6fbb-e2e9-4173-9826-4fa8203adf23" class="fn"><a href="#e62a6fbb-e2e9-4173-9826-4fa8203adf23" id="e62a6fbb-e2e9-4173-9826-4fa8203adf23-link">3</a></sup> has been upgraded to deliver a more dynamic and connected training experience.</p>



<p>Training tiers have expanded from 10 to 12 levels. While users continue to receive a personalised training plan based on a 12-minute running test or their historical running data, this update introduces new levels to support intermediate and advanced runners. These dedicated training tiers enable them to set higher benchmarks, challenge themselves, and steadily improve their performance.</p>



<p>To celebrate achievements and sustain motivation, Running Coach introduces an enhanced social media sharing feature. Runners can seamlessly export their workout data into share-ready templates designed for various social platforms, making it easier to share milestones, personal records, and route highlights with their fitness communities.</p>



<p>Samsung continues to strengthen ecosystem connectivity through a partnership with Strava, a global fitness platform. Users can import their favorite Strava Routes for running, trail running, and cycling directly into Samsung Health. This integration supports compatibility and user convenience across both platforms. </p>



<p><em>“Samsung Health’s personalized coaching empowers users to understand their health data, taking a step toward supporting everyday wellness,”</em> said <strong>Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team for the Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics</strong>. <em>“We will continue to leverage the Galaxy ecosystem and our technology to build a trusted health platform.</em></p>



<p>These upgraded features will be progressively rolled out via Samsung Health app updates starting in October.</p>

<p>The training is nearly done, your kit is ready and the start line is approaching. But have you explored the features on your smartwatch that could support your final preparations?</p>



<p>Ahead of the Royal Parks Half Marathon, Samsung shares tips from UK Product Specialist Lee Dinham to help runners make more of their <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/watches/galaxy-watch9/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Watch9</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/watches/galaxy-watch-ultra2/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Watch Ultra2.</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How can I keep an eye on my training and recovery?</strong></h2>



<p>Galaxy Watch’s <strong>Daily Cardio Load</strong> feature provides insights into your activity levels, helping you consider when to ease off<sup data-fn="bd0788b6-7ead-4c67-ab34-4e5c05c9fc77" class="fn"><a href="#bd0788b6-7ead-4c67-ab34-4e5c05c9fc77" id="bd0788b6-7ead-4c67-ab34-4e5c05c9fc77-link">1</a></sup>. As race day approaches, use those insights alongside how you feel when planning your remaining sessions.</p>



<p><em>“I think we’re all guilty of not getting enough rest and recovery time,”</em> says <strong>Lee</strong>.  <em>“The Daily Cardio Load feature gives a great indication of if I’m doing too much – or not enough – and will give me a nudge to take it easy every so often.</em>”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How can I understand my sleep before race day?</strong></h2>



<p>Lee also recommends exploring the broader health insights available on Galaxy Watch, including <strong>Sleep Score</strong> in Samsung Health<sup data-fn="cf74567a-8965-4a5a-8e24-eee91ad795d0" class="fn"><a href="#cf74567a-8965-4a5a-8e24-eee91ad795d0" id="cf74567a-8965-4a5a-8e24-eee91ad795d0-link">2</a></sup>.</p>



<p>During your final preparations, make time to review your sleep alongside your activity, rather than focusing solely on the miles you’ve covered.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How can I quickly access my favourite workout(s)?</strong></h2>



<p>One of Lee’s favourite hands-free shortcuts is Galaxy Watch’s <strong>“knock knock” gesture</strong>, which can launch an exercise or a favourite app.</p>



<p>His advice is to assign the gesture to a function you regularly use, so you can access it with a movement of your hand.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="558" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/05113133/203-lifestyle-galaxy-watch9-running-coach-2-1000x558.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26221" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How can I get a quick answer when my hands are full?</strong></h2>



<p>With <strong>Raise to Talk</strong>, lift your Galaxy Watch towards your mouth to speak to <strong>Google Gemini</strong><sup data-fn="6fbb9c5a-b664-400e-bdcc-73d7e1343994" class="fn"><a href="#6fbb9c5a-b664-400e-bdcc-73d7e1343994" id="6fbb9c5a-b664-400e-bdcc-73d7e1343994-link">3</a></sup>. Whether you want to check the weather before setting off or ask a last-minute question while carrying your race bag, you can get a quick answers on the go.</p>



<p>Lee names Raise to Talk as his favourite feature on Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2, finding it useful for quick answers on the move, “especially without having to reach for my smartphone”.</p>



<p>Whether you’re taking on your first half marathon or returning for another race, spending a few minutes exploring your watch before the weekend can help you feel more familiar with the features you’ll use.</p>

<p>Waking up on the wrong side of the bed may be more than just a figure of speech, with new research suggesting that how we feel first thing in the morning can encourage us to look more closely at our sleep, recovery and overall wellbeing.</p>



<p>According to research commissioned by Samsung to celebrate the launch of <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/samsung-galaxy-watch-ultra2-and-watch9-your-health-companion-on-the-wrist">Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2</a>, one in four Brits wake up feeling grumpy, drained or easily irritated several times a week, rising to seven in 10 when looking specifically at Millennials and Gen Z.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="750" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Inside-the-Design-Galaxy-Z-Series-Galaxy-Watch_Main6.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25403" /></figure>



<p>Over a third (35%) of the nation regularly start the day feeling tired, low on energy or simply not quite themselves, with nearly two thirds (63%) admitting the way they feel when they wake up often affects the rest of their day.</p>



<p>Lack of motivation (49%), irritability (32%), feeling emotionally low (31%) and stressed (28%) are just some of the things Brits feel when they haven’t slept well.</p>



<p>While these feelings have often been dismissed as simply ‘waking up on the wrong side of the bed’, the findings suggest many consumers are becoming increasingly interested in understanding what may sit behind these changes in mood, energy and wellbeing.</p>



<p>In fact, 84% say they would like a deeper understanding of what their body is telling them when they wake up feeling different to usual.</p>



<p>The findings suggest people are thinking differently about their sleep and wellbeing, looking beyond hours slept to better understand how their bodies recover overnight. Rather than simply reacting to how they feel each morning, many want more personalised insights into their health over time.</p>



<p>That shift is fuelling interest in tools that make those signals easier to read. Samsung Health’s new Vitals<sup data-fn="8a230fd0-e09b-4704-a1fe-a22237c3b40f" class="fn"><a href="#8a230fd0-e09b-4704-a1fe-a22237c3b40f" id="8a230fd0-e09b-4704-a1fe-a22237c3b40f-link">1</a></sup> feature, available on Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2, tracks five overnight bio-signals like heart rate and skin temperature against a user’s usual patterns to detect changes in recovery and overall wellbeing, helping users better understand their overnight recovery and the signals their bodies may be giving them.</p>



<p>Reflecting this shift towards proactive health management, nearly two thirds (63%) say they pay closer attention to their health than they did five years ago, while 54% say they are more proactive about monitoring their wellbeing today than in the past.</p>



<p>As consumers increasingly look to understand what their bodies are telling them, personalised health insights are becoming an important part of helping people make informed decisions about their daily wellbeing.</p>



<p>Many are already turning to technology to support this approach to health. The study found as a nation, we’re already tracking at least one aspect of health or wellbeing, such as sleep (35%), weight/body composition (34%), activity levels (29%), nutrition (25%), heart health (21%) or stress (20%), while 66% believe technology can help them better understand the signals their bodies are giving them and support healthier everyday habits.</p>



<p>As awareness grows around the connection between sleep, recovery and overall wellbeing, the findings suggest that waking up on the wrong side of the bed may sometimes have less to do with mood and more to do with the signals our bodies are giving us about how well we have recovered overnight.</p>



<p>By analysing multiple signals together, rather than focusing on a single measurement, Samsung Health’s Vitals provides greater context around how the body is responding overnight and can help users better understand mornings when they wake up feeling unusually tired, low on energy or below their best.</p>



<p>Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 are available to purchase now, with prices starting from £349 and £649 respectively at Samsung.com/uk.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25642" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Picture1-e1786696193759.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="751" /></p>
<p>From tracking workouts and understanding sleep to managing everyday tasks from your wrist, Brits are becoming increasingly tuned into what their health data can tell them.</p>
<p>New research commissioned by Samsung reveals that more than six in ten Brits (62%) now track some aspect of their health or wellbeing, while 55% say they are more proactive about monitoring their health than they were five years ago<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[1] </sup></span></span></a>.</p>
<p>But Galaxy Watch can do much more than keep tabs on your health. Outside of Samsung Health, the new Galaxy Watch Series is packed with features designed to make everyday life that little bit simpler – from hands-free shortcuts and staying connected on the move to accessing Google Gemini straight from your wrist.</p>
<p>So, which ones are actually worth knowing about? Fresh from presenting at Galaxy Unpacked in London, Samsung UK Product Specialist Lee Dinham shares some of his favourite – and lesser-known – features on the new <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/watches/galaxy-watch-ultra2/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Watch Ultra2</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/watches/galaxy-watch9/buy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Watch9</a> – including a few you might be missing out on.</p>
<h2><strong>Talk to Gemini without reaching for your phone</strong></h2>
<p>Lee’s favourite new Galaxy Watch feature is also one of the easiest to overlook.</p>
<p>With Raise to Talk, simply lift your Galaxy Watch towards your mouth and Google Gemini<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> is ready to listen – no tapping through menus required.</p>
<p>“My favourite new feature on the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Watch9 is Raise to Talk to activate Google Gemini,” says Lee. “I’ve found this really useful to get quick answers to questions on the go, especially without having to reach for my smartphone.”</p>
<p>Google Gemini<span>2</span> also allows you to use natural voice instructions, making it particularly useful when you’re on the move or have your hands full. Rather than stopping what you’re doing to navigate your Galaxy Watch, you can simply ask for what you need.</p>
<p><strong>Lee’s tip:</strong> Try Raise to Talk in those moments when your hands are full or you’d normally instinctively reach for your phone.</p>
<h2><strong>Master the ‘knock knock’</strong></h2>
<p>If talking to your Galaxy Watch isn’t convenient, there’s another hands-free shortcut worth knowing about.</p>
<p>Gestures allow you to control certain Galaxy Watch functions using movements of your hand, meaning you can trigger an action without navigating the touchscreen. One of Lee’s favourites is the “knock knock” gesture.</p>
<p>“You can perform a ‘knock knock’ gesture with your fist that can be used for all sorts of actions, like activating an exercise, turning on the torch function or launching your favourite app,” Lee explains.</p>
<p>That means a simple movement can get you straight to a function you regularly use – particularly handy when you’re exercising, commuting or have your other hand occupied.</p>
<p><strong>Lee’s tip:</strong> Set the gesture to an action you use regularly, whether that’s quickly starting a workout, switching on the torch or opening your favourite app.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>Leave more to your Watch </strong></h2>
<p>Sometimes, getting more from your Galaxy Watch isn’t about discovering one new feature, but realising how many everyday tasks you can already manage from your wrist.</p>
<p>“Our Galaxy Watches have so many features,” says Lee. “They’re also a great lifestyle companion – you can manage all of your messages and notifications, make and receive calls, make payments on the go with Samsung Wallet<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[3] </sup></span></span></a>  and download your favourite apps like Spotify, WhatsApp and hundreds more via the Google Play Store<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[4] </sup></span></span></a>.”</p>
<p>That means everything from checking a message to changing your music or paying for your morning coffee can be handled straight from your wrist.</p>
<p><strong>Lee’s tip:</strong> Spend a few minutes setting up the apps and shortcuts you use most. The more you personalise your Galaxy Watch around your routine, the more you can leave your smartphone in your pocket.</p>
<h2><strong>And when it comes to health…</strong></h2>
<p>Of course, health and fitness remain at the heart of Galaxy Watch – whether you’re taking the first steps on your wellbeing journey or training towards your next big goal. Samsung research found 65% of Brits have changed their lifestyle after reviewing health data or insights about themselves, while two-thirds (66%) say they pay close attention to the quality of their sleep.</p>
<p>Here are three features Lee recommends exploring:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Know when to push – and when to recover</strong>: Daily Cardio Load<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[5] </sup></span></span></a>, can help provide a better picture of whether your current level of activity is right for you. “I think we’re all guilty of not getting enough rest and recovery time, especially when we’re training for a specific fitness goal,” says Lee. “The Daily Cardio Load feature gives a great indication of if I’m doing too much – or not enough – in the gym and will give me a nudge to take it easy every so often.”#</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Turn fitness into a friendly competition:</strong> Fitness Index<span><a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[5] </sup></span></a></span>, compares your metrics with other Samsung Health users in your age range. “I love to be competitive,” says Lee. “It’s a great motivator to focus on specific areas so I can improve my score. I definitely need to up my cardio!”</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Look at the bigger picture</strong>: Alongside activity and heart-rate tracking, Galaxy Watch offers features spanning body composition measurement<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[6] </sup></span></span></a>, ECG and blood pressure monitoring<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[7] </sup></span></span></a>, nutritional guidance and mindfulness, as well as personalised insights including Sleep and Energy Scores<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a>. “Whether you’re just getting started in your health and wellness journey, or someone who does frequent trail runs and ultra-marathons, there is something for everyone no matter what your level,” says Lee.</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you’re training for your next big fitness goal or simply looking for a smarter way to manage everyday life, there’s plenty more to discover on your wrist. With a few simple features and personal insights, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 are designed to be more than just a way to track your stats – they’re a smart companion that can help you make the most of every day.</p>

<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a fresh form factor built around the way people explore, discover and immerse themselves in their favourite content. Its display ratios are designed to move naturally with users throughout the day – from quick interactions like messaging, browsing and short-form video on the <strong>wider cover screen</strong> to more immersive viewing, reading and gaming on the <strong>4:3 main display</strong>.</p>
<p>With Gemini Notebook, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, files, and documents in one workspace to collect, organise, and develop their ideas. At just 201g, it is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, while Samsung’s new <strong>Flex Titanium</strong> technology helps support a slimmer display structure with lasting durability and reduced crease visibility over time.</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Galaxy’s renowned Ultra standard to foldables, combining a larger workspace with an upgraded camera system and performance built for demanding creative workflows.

<p>Galaxy Z Flip8, Samsung’s sleekest Flip ever released, is built for expression and quick interaction on the go. Its reimagined <strong>FlexWindow</strong> brings apps, insights, actions and assistance directly to the cover screen. <strong>Now Brief<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a></strong> surfaces personalised information based on users’ schedules, routines and interests.</p>
<p>Users can also access Gemini from the <strong>FlexWindow</strong> through side-key activation or natural voice requests, making it easier to complete connected actions on the go.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On July 22 at Galaxy Unpacked July 2026, Samsung Electronics introduced intelligent eyewear<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> as the first step toward making AI glasses the next interface for mobile AI.</p>
<p>Built on decades of expertise in mobile engineering, hardware design and product craftsmanship, intelligent eyewear combines true wearability with mobile AI experiences and seamless connectivity within the Galaxy ecosystem.</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom spoke with James Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of XR R&D Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, to learn about the development of intelligent eyewear, the engineering behind its design and Samsung’s long-term vision for the AI glasses category.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-25390 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Intelligent-Eyewear-Interview_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1500" /></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>Q.Why is Samsung </strong><strong>introducing </strong><strong>intelligent eyewear now and why does it believe AI glasses will become the next interface for mobile AI?</strong></h2>
<p>AI glasses will only become mainstream if people genuinely want to wear them every day. Achieving this level of wearability requires more than advanced AI — it also demands deep engineering expertise, mobile technologies and an understanding of how people use technology in their daily lives. Drawing on decades of mobile leadership, Samsung is well positioned to bring these elements together and help move the category forward.</p>
<p>AI glasses understand what users see, hear and experience around them and enable more natural, contextual and seamless interactions, bringing AI closer to the moments that matter in everyday life. Our goal is not to replace the mobile phone but to create AI glasses that help people use their phones less, while getting more value from the mobile experiences they rely on. <span>Samsung is laying the foundation for this vision through the new intelligent eyewear, </span>extending mobile AI beyond the screen.</p>
<h2><strong>Q. </strong><strong>What are the biggest engineering priorities when developing AI glasses?</strong></h2>
<p>The journey began with Galaxy XR. Through our experience developing it, we learned how to design technology that people can comfortably wear on their faces. We applied those insights to intelligent eyewear, focusing every engineering decision on comfort, fit and everyday use.</p>
<p>Wearability isn’t simply a design challenge — it’s an engineering one. When it comes to eyewear, even a tenth of a millimeter matters. That is why we took a holistic approach, carefully considering weight, materials, thermal management and battery efficiency.</p>
<p>Designed to be slim and light, intelligent eyewear incorporates patented slim hinges, advanced thin-wall molding, lightweight materials and optimized hardware components. Its hinge structure prevents corrosion and withstands the demands of everyday wear, while the patented temple architecture improves structural rigidity. Thermal graphite material on the left side of the glasses also helps prevent heat generated by the AP (Application Processor) from transferring to the user’s face.</p>
<p>Because every face is different, we used computational design and worked closely with our eyewear partners to refine the fit across key contact points including the forehead, cheekbones and behind the ears. We also balanced the weight across both sides of the frame, so users can barely notice any difference.</p>
<p>Samsung has filed around 200 patent applications in this category, reflecting its long-term investment in intelligent eyewear. Ultimately, all that engineering is designed to disappear into the experience, making the glasses feel as natural as an ordinary pair.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25378" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25378" class="wp-image-25378 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Intelligent-Eyewear-Interview_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" /><p id="caption-attachment-25378" class="wp-caption-text">▲Intelligent eyewear was introduced at Galaxy Unpacked July 2026.</p></div></p>
<h2><strong>Q. How did you ensure </strong><strong>intelligent eyewear</strong><strong> was resilient enough for everyday use?</strong></h2>
<p>Users expect Samsung-quality products, regardless of form factor. We applied the manufacturing expertise and rigorous verification standards developed over decades of Galaxy device innovation, while introducing additional testing tailored to intelligent eyewear.</p>
<p>Because it is worn directly on the face, intelligent eyewear had to meet the standards of both mobile devices and eyewear — and go beyond them. It underwent extensive durability, environmental and safety testing, including exposure to high temperatures, humidity, sunscreen, cosmetics and sweat, as well as folding and hinge expansion tests.</p>
<p>Despite the extensive engineering packed into its slim and lightweight design, intelligent eyewear delivers uncompromising performance, including strong battery life. Through hardware and software optimization, intelligent eyewear provides up to nine hours of active use on a single charge, even during demanding experiences such as Gemini and video recording. The charging case enables more than seven full recharges for extended multi-day use.<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<h2><strong>Q. Wh</strong><strong>y</strong> <strong>do</strong><strong> you </strong><strong>see</strong> <strong>intelligent eyewear</strong> <strong>as </strong><strong>a new entry point </strong><strong>for</strong><strong> mobile AI?</strong></h2>
<p>Intelligent eyewear <span>introduces a more natural and intuitive way to experience mobile AI</span>. Its ability to understand what users see, hear and experience around them enables more personalized, contextual support in the moment.</p>
<p>With a high-quality camera, microphones and speakers integrated into its frame, intelligent eyewear responds through natural conversation, while reducing the need for users to stop and reach for a phone.</p>
<p>From real-time guidance and live translation to line-of-sight capture and context-aware assistance, these experiences are designed to help users access mobile AI while staying present in what they are doing.<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<h2><strong>Q. </strong><strong>How does </strong><strong>intelligent eyewear</strong><strong> fit within the broader Galaxy ecosystem?</strong></h2>
<p>Intelligent eyewear is designed to work as a companion device to Galaxy phones and other Galaxy wearables, extending mobile AI beyond the screen through more personalized experiences. Users can access apps and services they already rely on — from Samsung and Google apps to third-party content — through a natural, hands-free interface.</p>
<p>For example, they can start recording hands-free with intelligent eyewear, preview what they have captured on Now Bar and then access it in Galaxy Gallery on their phone.<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a> Through split computing, processing is distributed between intelligent eyewear and the connected Galaxy phone, helping optimize performance.</p>
<p>Intelligent eyewear also works with Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds. Users can manage the device directly from their wrist through the Galaxy Watch screen or with intuitive gestures.<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a> When Galaxy Buds are connected, they can switch audio without interrupting the experience.</p>
<h2><strong>Q. How did you integrate privacy and trust into the design of </strong><strong>intelligent eyewear</strong><strong>?</strong></h2>
<p>As AI becomes more personal and integrated into everyday life, trust becomes even more important. That’s why privacy was built into intelligent eyewear from the beginning, with safeguards designed to protect users and those around them.</p>
<p>A bystander-facing LED indicator and an inner LED clearly show when recording is active. Wear detection automatically disables recording when the glasses are removed, while a thwart detection feature disables recording if the external LED indicator is blocked.</p>
<p>Users can also manage privacy and personalization settings through connected Galaxy phones.  Their audio, video and screen-sharing data are not used to train AI models.</p>
<p>Samsung will continue to enhance its privacy features to give users greater transparency and control.</p>
<h2><strong>Q. What does </strong><strong>intelligent eyewear</strong> <strong>represent</strong><strong> for Samsung’s long-term vision?</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung has a long history of helping define new product categories — including foldables — and setting the standards consumers have come to expect from them. Intelligent eyewear is the next step in its vision to make AI more wearable, personal and seamlessly integrated into everyday life, but it is still only the beginning. With this first generation, Samsung aims to establish a new best-in-class benchmark for the emerging category and continue advancing it with each generation.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in London, Samsung Electronics unveiled <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/samsung-galaxy-watch-ultra2-and-watch9-your-health-companion-on-the-wrist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9</a>, expanding the digital health experience on the wrist. From the moment users wake up to the time they finish a workout and begin recovery, a smartwatch stays in contact with the body throughout the day.</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom got an early look at the new wearables during Galaxy Unpacked 2026 — from Galaxy Watch Ultra2, built for precise workout tracking and structured training in demanding environments, to Galaxy Watch9, designed for everyday health management spanning sleep, cardiovascular health, exercise and recovery.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25237" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25237" class="wp-image-25237 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Picture1-e1785245617524.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="669" /><p id="caption-attachment-25237" class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left) Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9</p></div></p>
<h2><strong>Galaxy Watch Ultra2: Adventure Without Limits </strong></h2>
<p>Combining top-tier performance with exceptional durability, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is optimised for high-intensity sports and outdoor activities.</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is the first Galaxy Watch powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® Wear Elite Platform,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> delivering fast performance and precise GPS tracking. Its 800mAh battery offers 35% more capacity than that of previous generations. The display reaches up to 5,000 nits of brightness — a first for a smartwatch — making on-screen information easy to read even under bright lighting<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a>.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25238" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25238" class="wp-image-25238 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Picture2-e1785245648364.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" /><p id="caption-attachment-25238" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is available in a 47-millimetre size.</p></div></p>
<p>Comfort has also improved. The cushion design seamlessly integrates the display, bezel and body. Despite its larger battery, the watch is 12% thinner than the previous generation thanks to component optimisation and an internal redesign. The band is 26% lighter with a new air pocket structure, providing a secure yet comfortable fit.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25239" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25239" class="wp-image-25239 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Picture3-e1785245678305.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="617" /><p id="caption-attachment-25239" class="wp-caption-text">▲ A slim profile provides lasting comfort.</p></div></p>
<p>Trail Run<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a>, a new feature exclusive to Galaxy Watch Ultra2, offers real-time insights including detailed elevation data, climbing progress and cumulative ascent and descent distance. With this information, users can gauge workout intensity and adjust their pace accordingly.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25252" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25252" class="wp-image-25252 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Watch-Ultra2-Galaxy-Watch9-A-First-Look_Main4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="467" /><p id="caption-attachment-25252" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Trail Run</p></div></p>
<p>Galaxy Watch Ultra2’s capabilities now extend beneath the surface. From the moment users enter the water, it automatically records depth, dive time and water temperature.</p>
<p>Backed by EN13319 certification for diving instruments, along with 10ATM water resistance and an IP69K rating for dust and water resistance, the device is engineered to support safe underwater activities<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a>. Furthermore, in collaboration with global diving equipment brand Mares, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 will support advanced diving features — including real-time ascent and descent rates as well as safety decompression time.<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>During workouts, users can take advantage of hydration guidance, newly added to Nutrition Alert<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[6]</sup></span></span></a>. Based on sweat loss relative to body weight, it calculates recommended fluid intake in real time to help users stay hydrated during extended exercise sessions.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25241" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25241" class="wp-image-25241 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Picture5-e1785245745658.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="643" /><p id="caption-attachment-25241" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Hydration guidance</p></div></p>
<h2><strong>Galaxy Watch9: A Companion for Everyday Health</strong></h2>
<p>Galaxy Watch9 is designed to be an everyday companion for continuous health management. Its slimmer body and band with a new air pocket structure fit comfortably and securely around the wrist, making it ideal for all-day wear — from workouts to sleep.</p>
<p>Powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, Galaxy Watch9 features a 390mAh battery<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[7]</sup></span></span></a> with 20% more capacity than that of previous generations to support fast performance and consistent health monitoring throughout the day.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25242" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25242" class="wp-image-25242 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Picture6-e1785245782806.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="622" /><p id="caption-attachment-25242" class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left) Galaxy Watch9 comes in 40- and 44-millimetre sizes.</p></div></p>
<p>The Galaxy Watch series’ digital health experience is centred around the updated Samsung Health, an all-in-one health coach that brings together five core pillars — Activity, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Sleep and Vitals — in one place. By capturing signals from the body and presenting them at a glance, the app helps users stay ahead of their health.</p>
<p><div style="width: 1920px" class="wp-video"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');</script><![endif]-->
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-25236-1" width="1920" height="1080" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Watch-Ultra2-Galaxy-Watch9-A-First-Look_Main7-compressed.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Watch-Ultra2-Galaxy-Watch9-A-First-Look_Main7-compressed.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Watch-Ultra2-Galaxy-Watch9-A-First-Look_Main7-compressed.mp4</a></video></div></p>
<p style="text-align: center">▲ The five core pillars of Samsung Health</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Key health metrics measured during sleep can be viewed at a glance in Vitals<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a>. Using heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen saturation, Galaxy Watch9 establishes a personalised baseline to help identify meaningful changes in health.</p>
<p>Heart Health Score<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[9] </sup></span></span></a>provides an easy-to-understand snapshot of cardiovascular health by combining factors such as activity level, sleep, body composition and stress trends into a single score representing the user’s current condition.</p>
<p>Workout plans can also be tailored to fitness levels. Fitness Index<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10"><span><span style="font-size: small"><sup>[10]</sup></span></span></a> uses body composition and workout history to assess whether a user’s current exercise volume is appropriate, helping set individualised goals. On days with more intensive workouts, Daily Cardio Load helps users assess training balance and determine how much recovery time they need.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_25244" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25244" class="wp-image-25244 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Picture8-e1785245835642.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" /><p id="caption-attachment-25244" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Heart Health Score</p></div></p>
<p>Galaxy Watch Ultra2 excels in high-intensity training, while Galaxy Watch9 supports everyday health management. Together with enhanced hardware and Samsung Health, the next-generation Galaxy Watch series delivers a smarter, more personalised health experience.</p>
