Just earlier today, Android Authority discovered images of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-wide-fold-galaxy-z-fold-8-one-ui-9-leak-3663410\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide variant<\/a> hiding in a build of One UI 9.

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<p><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Galaxy Watch 9 Samsung Canada\"  alt=\"Galaxy Watch 9 Samsung Canada\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Galaxy-Watch-9-Samsung-Canada.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Back in late March, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-9-firmware-3653198\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">firmware file<\/a> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-9-glasses-3649623\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">40mm model and a larger 44mm varian<\/a>t. The larger model is expected to carry a 435mAh battery.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
