Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Watch 7 “Ultra†has leaked in new renders acquired by OnLeaks and Smartprix. It’s a follow-up to the Classic series of watches, which are made of metal. This new model looks a bit like the Apple Watch Ultra now, with a new square-shaped case and an extra button.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 ‘Ultra’ leaks show a supersized squircle for your wrist
Leaked pictures of a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra show a squarish design similar to Apple’s Ultra smartwatch and an extra button.
Rumors of square Samsung watches surfaced in March, although these pictures still feature one that has a round screen. Around that screen is a raised bezel, but from the pictures, it’s hard to tell if it adds any touch-sensitive or rotation controls. The Watch 7 Ultra also looks pretty hefty, which lines up with last month’s rumor of Samsung making a larger “Pro†watch model.
You can expect some extra functionality in this new watch, including a third button that will probably be something like Apple Watch Ultra’s Action Button, a new health sensor array, and bigger speakers (at least the grilles are larger), along with extra holes that might be more mics that could improve speakerphone clarity.
The next Samsung Unpacked event could take place on June 10th in Paris, revealing more details about its watches, sixth-generation folding phones, and a new Galaxy Ring.
