Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic renders leak — here's a first look
Come July, Samsung should have a refreshed set of its Galaxy Watches, which may include the return of the Galaxy Watch Classic that Samsung omitted from last year's lineup.
Back in March, model numbers for unreleased Samsung smartwatches were revealed in leaked firmware tests. That leak hinted at either two sizes for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 or the return of the Classic.
Now we have a bit of confirmation thanks to new renders from regular tipster OnLeaks who shared their images with Sammy Guru.
Based on previous rumors, the new Classic model could be available in one 47mm size, similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
According to SammyGuru, the refreshed Classic could feature a 435 mAh battery and a rotating bezel. The battery is smaller than the one in the Ultra, which may be due to the moving bezel taking up internal space.
The images provided by OnLeaks make the new Classic look like a mix of the square-ish Ultra and the rounder, softer Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, otherwise known as the "squircle" shape.
The display on the Watch 8 Classic should be 1.5 inches which would be the same size as the Ultra and the larger 44mm Watch 7.

Allegedly, the Classic will be roughly 46 x 46.5 x 14.2mm.
It's unclear what this means for the Ultra watch as the model numbers hint at Bluetooth and LTE variants of the Classic unless the Classic is a successor to the Ultra model.
It's expected that Samsung will announce its new watches alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 during its summer Galaxy Unpacked event. That launch is rumored to be taking place in early July.

Samsung Teases Ultra-Grade Foldable Phone With a 'Powerful Camera,' AI Tools
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Fold seems to be joining forces with the top-of-the-line Galaxy Ultra. The company on Wednesday shared a rather cryptic post teasing its next book-stye foldable, noting that it's bringing "an Ultra-experience" to "a smaller and more portable form factor." The phone is scheduled to launch this summer, Samsung says, and will include a "powerful camera" and "AI-powered tools" (of course). Samsung didn't share much more than that, and hasn't noted anything else about what's in store for the successors to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. But the post does confirm that we can expect foldables in the summer. This teaser raises many questions. Namely, just how powerful will the camera be on this new phone? Will it, like the skinny S25 Edge, match the 200-megapixel main camera on the S25 Ultra? And will the new foldable's cover display also match the size of the S25 Ultra? Samsung appears to be on a "pushing the limits of engineering" kick, what with the recent launch of the super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge, and now this mystery Ultra foldable. We'll see what other details unfold with time.

Looks like we're getting a foldable Galaxy Ultra.
Samsung is hinting strongly at an Ultra branded foldable coming soon. The company's press release references a foldable with a 'powerful camera,' which is traditionally a weakness of folding phones. Between this Ultra model and a rumored FE version of the Z Flip, we might have a whole bunch of new folding phones on our hands later this summer.

Samsung announces an Ultra-branded foldable is coming — Galaxy Z Fold Ultra?
Over the years, Samsung's foldable phone launches have been very reliable. We see two phones at each launch: a book-style Galaxy Z Fold and a clamshell-style Galaxy Z Flip. However, it looks like the formula could change in 2025. This is due to Samsung just announcing an Ultra-branded book-style foldable is coming this summer.
