Samsung has accidentally leaked the final names of its three upcoming devices through its own Galaxy Wearable app (version 2.2.70.26060861), ahead of a formal announcement. The devices that are expected to be unveiled by the phone maker are Galaxy Able (Samsung's first clip-on, open-ear earbuds), Galaxy Watch 9, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. These devices are expected at Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event—reportedly happening July 22 in London (Samsung) , alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8.
The Galaxy Able Earbuds are the Samsung's first clip-on, open-ear earbuds. Earlier rumors called them "Galaxy Buds Able," but app code confirms "Galaxy Able" is the official finalized branding , though "Galaxy Buds Able" still lingers in some internal code references.
Unlike normal Buds that use traditional speaker drivers that move air to create sound, Galaxy Able will reportedly utilize bone conduction technology, leaving your ear canals completely open while vibrating sound directly through your jaw/ear cartilage. The upcoming earbuds are expected to also feature a clip-on design that hooks onto the ear rather than sealing the canal.

This specific feature makes them similar to Huawei FreeClip or Sony's LinkBuds Clip. Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, on the other hand, are both Samsung smartwatch names also turned up in the same app files, effectively confirming them ahead of launch. In fact, Tipster @Alfaturk16 on X confirmed the names of the devices on his page.
Expected specs and rumors show that the Galaxy Watch 9 will be about 40mm to 44mm and may keep the Exynos W1000 chip, with battery sizes reportedly around 382mAh/435mAh. The Watch Ultra 2 is expected to get an upgraded Snapdragon Wear Elite chip and a brighter OLED display (which can be up to 5,000 nits), with a larger battery (of about ~784-800mAh, a big jump over the original Ultra and even Apple's Watch Ultra 3).
Interestingly, the Watch 9 Classic hasn't shown up in FCC/CMIIT certification databases, and trust me, this has fueled speculation that Samsung might skip or delay it this year. According to a BGR report, Galaxy Able specifically has been delayed multiple times, so it's not certain it lands at this exact event even though its final commercial name is now confirmed.
