If you think the pro model isn't enough for Samsung's Galaxy Watch series, get ready for the next big thing in the series, which could be one of the best smartwatches of the year.Previous rumors about the Galaxy Watch Ultra have been few but a direct source from Samsung would increase the credibility of its existence.

While not directly mentioned, Samsung's press release on its Q1 2024 financial results hints at the launch of a new "premium" model in its smartwatch line. This would likely be the Galaxy Watch Ultra model, which would complement the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 7 Classic expected to be announced this year.

Another reason to believe that the Galaxy Watch Ultra will be announced this year is that a tipster told Android Headlines about a firmware build that appears to be for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, not the Galaxy Watch 7 Pro The reason for this is that Samsung has been working on a firmware build for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, not the Galaxy Watch 7 Pro. This is because Samsung last released a professional model in 2022 with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which was replaced by the Galaxy 6 Classic the following year.

Of course, we expect premium features from the Galaxy Watch Ultra. One way the Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to differentiate itself from other products is through its ability to monitor blood sugar levels. If true, this would be a game changer and have life-changing implications for diabetics.

While these latest revelations suggest that the Galaxy Watch Ultra could legitimately launch, other details about the smartwatch are largely unknown. Of course, for the Galaxy Watch Ultra to live up to its name, it will need a larger display, a larger battery, and a sleeker design.

An official announcement could come at the next Galaxy Unpacked event, which is said to be held this summer around July. At this event, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Ring are expected to make their official debuts, and we are likely to see the official introduction of the Galaxy Watch 7 as well.
