The pricing for the Galaxy Watch 9 is projected to start at €409 ($468) for the 40mm Bluetooth model, with the LTE version estimated at €459 ($525). The 44mm Bluetooth model is expected to start at €439 ($502), and its LTE counterpart at €489 ($560). The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 LTE is rumored to be priced at €749 ($857).
According to a report from WinFuture, the Galaxy Watch 9 40mm will feature a 438 x 438-pixel display, while both the Galaxy Watch 9 44mm and Ultra 2 will have a 480 x 480-pixel display. RAM options may range up to 2GB, with internal storage available in 32GB or 64GB variants.
