Next-Gen Samsung Galaxy Devices Surface in GSMA Database
Several upcoming premium Samsung Galaxy devices have been identified in the GSMA database, signaling active development. These include the highly anticipated Galaxy Tab S12 series, the Galaxy Watch 9, and a potential successor to the Galaxy Watch Ultra, tentatively named the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
Confirmed Smartwatches
The GSMA database provides specific model numbers for Samsung's upcoming smartwatches:
- SM-L345: Identified as the Galaxy Watch 9
- SM-L716: Points to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
The introduction of the SM-L716 model number suggests that Samsung is preparing a new iteration for the Galaxy Watch Ultra series, rather than a minor update.
Galaxy Tab S12 Series
Two flagship tablets belonging to the Galaxy Tab S12 series have also been identified in the GSMA database:
- SM-X846: Corresponding to the Galaxy Tab S12+
- SM-X946: Corresponding to the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra
This numbering scheme suggests a potential change in strategy for Samsung's tablet line, possibly indicating that a base Galaxy Tab S12 model may not be released.
Previous generations have shown variations in the availability of base, Plus, and Ultra models within the series.
Release Timeline
Samsung's 2026 smartwatches are anticipated to be unveiled at an Unpacked event focused on foldable devices, potentially in the summer. The Galaxy Tab S12 series could follow with a separate launch later in 2026.
