Samsung leaks new Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy A18 devices

Leaked renders of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch 9 show a design that closely mirrors the previous generation, retaining the squircle case and offering 40 mm and 44 mm sizes in Cream, Graphite and Green. The watch will ship with a modified Wear OS 7 and Samsung’s Gemini Intelligence features, but visual changes are minimal ahead of the Unpacked event scheduled for July 22.

Samsung's Galaxy A18 also appears nearly identical to its predecessor, keeping the 6.7‑inch Infinity‑U display and triple‑camera module. The notable change is the switch from Samsung’s own Exynos processor to a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip for the 5G model, while the 4G variant will likely use a MediaTek Helio G99. This chipset shift signals Samsung’s strategic move toward more consistent 5G modem performance in its budget lineup.
