In addition, Galaxy Watch Ultra also meets US military durability standards MIL-STD-810H, meets IP68 standards as well as 10 ATM water resistance. Clearly, since the launch of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, Samsung has not had any watch models in the high-end segment and equipped with many support features for extreme sports.
That’s why even though the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch6 Classic were launched, Samsung still maintained the Watch5 Pro line until the Watch Ultra was officially launched today.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra’s screen has a peak brightness of up to 3000 nits, this brightness will ensure the Watch Ultra works well in most different environments. Sapphire glass also makes the screen of this watch model more durable. The Watch Ultra’s strap has a new removable mechanism (mount), making it easier to change the strap, and Samsung now also has strap model options for subjects such as swimming, diving, climbing and running.

Exynos W1000 is a SoC that uses FOPLP (Fan-mount Pantel-level packaging) packaging technology with the purpose of increasing performance and reducing power consumption while the chip size remains small. In addition, Samsung also uses SiP (system in packagee) to mount a power management chip (PMIC) and ePoP technology to connect DRAM and NAND flash in a single die. As a result, the CPU performance of Exynos W1000 according to Samsung is increased 3 times.
Besides the Exynos W1000, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will have 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
