Samsung may have inadvertently confirmed plans for the Galaxy Watch 9

TL;DR

• Samsung Canada may have accidentally confirmed the existence of the Galaxy Watch 9.
• A reference to the Watch 9 appears on the company’s trade‑in page.

Trade‑in page leak

A reference to the Galaxy Watch 9 was spotted on Samsung’s Canadian website by the folks over at SammyGuru. The reference appears in a list of smartwatches that are eligible for a trade‑in promotion. The inclusion of the “Watch 9 range” is unusual, as Samsung typically does not allow brand‑new products to be traded in immediately. The outlet suggests it could be a placeholder.

Earlier firmware leak

Back in late March, a firmware file believed to belong to the Galaxy Watch 9 was found on a US test server. The device was identified with the model number SM‑L345U.

Earlier leaks also indicated that the lineup would include a 40 mm model and a larger 44 mm variant, the latter expected to house a 435 mAh battery.

Potential launch event

While Samsung has not officially announced the Galaxy Watch 9, rumors suggest it could debut at the company’s mid‑year Unpacked event, possibly held in London on July 22.
