<h2><strong>The New Galaxy Z Series: Three Distinct Foldable Experiences</strong></h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the new Galaxy Z series gives users more choice than ever, with three distinct experiences engineered to fit different needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25491" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Samsung-Mobile-Launches-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Fold8-Flip8-Watch-Ultra2-Watch9_Main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1333" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Samsung-Mobile-Launches-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Fold8-Flip8-Watch-Ultra2-Watch9_Main2.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Samsung-Mobile-Launches-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Fold8-Flip8-Watch-Ultra2-Watch9_Main2-422x563.jpg 422w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Samsung-Mobile-Launches-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Fold8-Flip8-Watch-Ultra2-Watch9_Main2-768x1024.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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. Its expansive 8-inch main display opens up more room for multitasking, while <strong>Now Nudge<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a></strong>;helps users move from conversation to action by suggesting relevant next steps across supported apps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>200 MP main camera</strong> now supports <strong>High Dynamic Range (HDR)</strong> in 200 MP mode for richer detail, colour and clarity. A new 50 MP ultra-wide camera adds greater flexibility for wider scenes and macro shots, helping users capture more from one device.</p>
<p>Across Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Flip8, Dual Recording captures both the action and the user’s reaction, while <strong>My FanCam</strong><a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> automatically tracks and reframes a selected subject.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra also features a <strong>5,000 mAh battery<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a><span><span style="font-size: small;">, 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0</span></span></strong><a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a> and an expanded graphite cooling structure – all in Galaxy’s slimmest Z Fold design yet, measuring just 4.1mm when unfolded and weighing 215g.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<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>&nbsp;</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>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Flip8 further enhances Samsung’s signature Flip camera experience with a 50 MP camera, ProVisual Engine and FlexCam experiences that make it easier to capture, preview and share polished photos and videos from flexible angles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9: Effortless Health Management From the Wrist</strong></h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On July 22 at Galaxy Unpacked July 2026, Samsung Electronics introduced <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/samsung-galaxy-z-fold8-ultra-fold8-and-flip8-foldables-perfected-for-every-way-of-living" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8</a>, <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>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From foldables to smartwatches, Samsung’s latest Galaxy devices take different forms but share the same design philosophy — comfort.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom spoke with Hubert Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the Design Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, to hear how this approach shaped the new lineup.</p>
<h2><strong> </strong></h2>
<div id="attachment_25401" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-25401 size-full" 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_Main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1000" srcset="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_Main1.jpg 1000w, 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_Main1-563x563.jpg 563w, 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_Main1-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲Hubert Lee</p></div>
<h2><strong> </strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Q. What were the key design considerations for this year’s Galaxy foldable lineup?</strong></h2>
<p>Today’s Galaxy devices are faster and more powerful than ever. We considered how we could go one step further to deliver a more natural and comfortable experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Slimness and lightness are essential to creating a comfortable user experience, since they influence how naturally a device opens, how comfortable it feels in the hand and how easily it fits into everyday life. That is why we consider not only the product itself, but also every moment of the user experience it creates.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From an aesthetic perspective, we applied the concept of “Emotive Geometry.” This design approach brings human warmth to Galaxy’s simple, refined forms, creating a balanced design that goes beyond powerful performance to connect with users on an emotional level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Q. What drove the expansion of the Galaxy Z series portfolio?</strong></h2>
<p>Across seven generations of foldable innovation, we’ve gained a deeper understanding of how people use their devices. As user expectations for foldables have become more diverse, we have also recognised that no single foldable can meet every need – one size does not fit all.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some users prioritise productivity and multitasking, while others value portability. Based on these insights, we expanded the Galaxy Z series lineup so each device could better serve different priorities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25399 aligncenter" 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_Main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" srcset="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_Main3.jpg 1000w, 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_Main3-751x563.jpg 751w, 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_Main3-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Q. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the slimmest Galaxy Z Fold yet. What shaped its exceptionally slim design?</strong></h2>
<p>The design concept behind the newest Galaxy Z series is “Emotive Slim” — an approach that focuses not only on reducing thickness, but also on how slim it looks and feels in everyday use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We applied a gentle slope to the frame to make the foldable easier to open and created a more curved outer silhouette for a softer, more comfortable grip. We also minimised the flat side profile to create a visually slimmer appearance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Q. Why was a passport chosen as the design inspiration for the new Galaxy Z Fold8?</h2>
<p>The classic passport is designed to be easy to carry, hold with one hand and read at a glance. Those same ergonomic principles shaped Galaxy Z Fold8, extending our focus on comfort throughout the device’s overall layout.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When folded, it features a 16:10 aspect ratio optimised for one-handed use. Unfolded, it becomes a more immersive 4:3 display with balanced symmetry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-large wp-image-25397 aligncenter" 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_Main4-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="1024" srcset="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_Main4-768x1024.jpg 768w, 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_Main4-422x563.jpg 422w, 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_Main4.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Q. How were these colors chosen for the new Galaxy Z series?</strong></h2>
<p>Each colour was chosen to reflect the lifestyle of the people each device is designed for. Violet Shadow gives Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra a chic, sophisticated look, while Lavender brings freshness and softness to Galaxy Z Fold8. Pink adds vibrant, playful energy to Galaxy Z Flip8. Cream and Graphite round out the palette with timeless versatility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-large wp-image-25398 aligncenter" 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_Main5-943x1024.jpg" alt="" width="943" height="1024" srcset="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_Main5-943x1024.jpg 943w, 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_Main5-518x563.jpg 518w, 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_Main5-768x834.jpg 768w, 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_Main5.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Q. How did Samsung refine the design of Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9?</strong></h2>
<p>If a smartphone lives in the hand, a smartwatch delivers its greatest value when it’s comfortable enough to wear every day. That’s why our approach to the new Galaxy Watch series focused on refinement rather than reinvention, preserving our core design while enhancing the details that matter most.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the centre of Galaxy Watch is the cushion design. More than a shape, it defines the watch’s identity by balancing presence with softness and precision with comfort. For Galaxy Watch Ultra2, we brought the screen, bezel and cushion body into a seamless form, creating a cleaner profile and a more premium look. We also carefully refined the spacing and tactile separation between the buttons, making each one easier to distinguish by touch and enabling precise control without looking at the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-25403 aligncenter" 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="" width="1000" height="750" srcset="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 1000w, 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_Main6-751x563.jpg 751w, 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_Main6-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Q. How have the bands on Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 changed?</strong></h2>
<p>Bands play a critical role in wearability. For this generation, we made them lighter, thinner and more breathable with a new air pocket structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because every wrist is different, we used <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/interview-inside-sdic-how-samsung-is-advancing-wearables-through-computational-design" target="_blank" rel="noopener">computational design</a> to validate comfort and fit using more than one hundred million real-user wrist data and ten thousand of simulations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We refined the balance between the watch body and band for greater stability on the wrist, while expanded band options give users more ways to express their personal style.</p>

<h2><strong>Q. What design philosophy ties this year’s Galaxy devices together?</strong></h2>
<p>In an era shaped by AI-driven change, human-centred values are more important than ever. Design shouldn’t only be seen — it should also be felt. For design to feel truly human, it must begin with a deep understanding of how people live, work and interact with technology every day. That belief has guided our approach to designing foldables and smartwatches.</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25237" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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 class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left) Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25238" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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 class="wp-caption-text">▲ Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is available in a 47-millimetre size.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25239" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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 class="wp-caption-text">▲ A slim profile provides lasting comfort.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25252" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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" srcset="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 1000w, 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_Main4-768x359.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Trail Run</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25241" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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 class="wp-caption-text">▲ Hydration guidance</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25242" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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 class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left) Galaxy Watch9 comes in 40- and 44-millimetre sizes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1920px;" class="wp-video"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');</script><![endif]-->

<p style="text-align: center;">▲ The five core pillars of Samsung Health</p>
<p>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_25244" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img 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 class="wp-caption-text">▲ Heart Health Score</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</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>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is Samsung’s most powerful and advanced Galaxy Watch ever. It is built for extreme outdoor adventures and high-performance seekers who demand long-lasting performance, reliable durability, precision tracking and continuous health monitoring in extreme conditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch Ultra2’s dedicated tracking modes for outdoor sports help users excel and safely push their limits.

<p>Galaxy Watch9 is the ultimate everyday health companion, designed for wellness-conscious users who want to build healthier habits through effortless, continuous activity and sleep tracking. This versatile watch turns personal biomarkers into actionable health insights, empowering users to effortlessly manage their daily routines by simply wearing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To maximise its role as a health companion, Galaxy Watch9 is backed by powerful hardware and an incredibly comfortable design. It features a <strong>lightweight yet</strong> <strong>durable aluminum casing</strong> that preserves Galaxy Watch’s <strong>signature cushion silhouette</strong>, refined specifically for a closer, more natural fit on the wrist. Combined with a wide range of interchangeable, soft-touch bands, Galaxy Watch9 helps ensure unmatched <strong>all-day comfort</strong> — enabling the continuous, 24/7 wear required to help capture accurate and consistent health data.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This exceptional wearability is powered by next-generation internal innovations. The new <strong>Snapdragon Wear® Elite platform</strong> gives Galaxy Watch9 a massive boost in speed and efficiency for lag-free, seamless health monitoring.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>AI-Powered Health Intelligence: Comprehensive and Actionable Health Insights</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the core of Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 are Samsung’s <strong>AI-powered health features</strong>. Galaxy Watch’s BioActive sensor captures continuous biometric data about a user’s lifestyle habits to develop a deep understanding of their health. Galaxy Watch then translates this complex biometric data into simple, proactive recommendations, helping users understand not just what is happening in their bodies, but what to do next.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new capabilities — available on both Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 — advance Samsung’s preventive care vision by combining everyday data with years of rigorous clinical research conducted with world-renowned universities and medical institutions. Built on this foundation, Galaxy Watch delivers more accurate and meaningful health guidance across key pillars including sleep, activity, cardiovascular health and recovery.</p>
