The topic Samsung may have inadvertently confirmed plans for the Galaxy Watch 9<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Samsung has had a fair amount of difficulty keeping the lid on its upcoming products. Just earlier today, Android Authority discovered images of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide variant hiding in a build of One UI 9. Now Samsung itself may have accidentally confirmed the existence of the Galaxy Watch 9.<\/p>\n

A reference to the Galaxy Watch 9 was spotted on Samsung\u2019s Canadian website by the folks over at SammyGuru. Specifically, the reference appears in a list of smartwatches that are eligible for a trade-in promo. The inclusion of the \u201cWatch9 range\u201d on this list is a bit strange, as Samsung doesn\u2019t usually allow brand-new products to be traded in right away. The outlet floats the possibility that this could just be a placeholder.<\/p>\n

Back in late March, a firmware file believed to belong to the Galaxy Watch 9 was spotted on a US test server. The device was said to be carrying the model number SM-L345U. Before that, a different leak revealed that there would be a 40mm model and a larger 44mm variant. The larger model is expected to carry a 435mAh battery.<\/p>\n

While Samsung has yet to announce the Galaxy Watch 9, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see it at the company\u2019s mid-year Unpacked event. Rumors have suggested that the show will be held in London this year on July 22.<\/p>\n
