Samsung Health gets a major redesign in Galaxy Watches!

After the unveiling of the Galaxy Watch9 and the Watch Ultra2 smartwatches that have been revealed to the public in the Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 event alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8 foldables, Samsung Health has been overhauled on the Galaxy smartwatches, just like the design overhaul on the Galaxy phones.

According to a report made by SammyGuru, Samsung has started rolling out the Samsung Health update that changes the user interface to a more modern interface on the Galaxy smartwatches to match the look and feel of the updated Health app on phones. However, not all features will work as the One UI 9 Watch update didn’t start rolling out yet to all the existing Galaxy smartwatches.

Here’s your first look of the renewed interface for the Galaxy smartwatches:

As a reminder, the following new features are available for the newest smartwatches:

• Vitals: This feature analyzes five important bio-signals, which are: heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen. Those key factors mentioned above are then compared against a baseline that indicates true resting.
• Heart Health Score: This metric, which is updated daily, takes the Vascular Load score and combines it with the body composition data, and gives you a unified score as an output. This output is then used to identify the user’s habit of user’s long-term well-being, which gives you an overall heart health.
• Daily Cardio Load: This feature analyzes your accumulated cardiovascular strain by combining daily load and maximum training capacity and gives you recommendations of optimal training targets and rest times.
• Fitness Index: Ensures exercise routines are working by analyzing metrics, such as: heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps against your peers. It comprises of body composition, strength, flexibility, endurance, and cardio. When those are taken into account, it delivers tailored content and personalized goals so that you can make continuous, targeted improvements.
• Hearing Health: Gives you personalized analytics by measuring the noise surrounding the Galaxy Watch. Those analytics give you recommendations to protect your ears, regardless of whether you’re in a loud, noisy place, such as festivals, or raising the music volume during the workout session.
• Upgraded capabilities: Antioxidant Index now gives you a clearer roadmap of a nutritional intake, with trend charts and daily history logs, and AGEs Index that now works in the background to capture automatic overnight measurements.

Samsung unveils the Z Fold8, Flip8, and Fold8 Ultra!

Today is the Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 event where the new devices and the new opportunities to explore the latest innovations show up live! This event was very exciting because it showcased the latest devices to be released this year.

Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip8 foldables, which sport the most powerful processor, along with the more immersive foldable experience, while keeping the slimness of the device to the minimum.

The Galaxy Z8 series is the new Galaxy foldable series that is designed to expand foldables to a wider range of audiences. It features the thinnest foldable phones yet, with the Z Fold8 Ultra being the powerful AI foldable that maximizes your productivity to the max, and the Flip8 phone sporting a reimagined FlexWindow make your phone more gorgeous. Even so with One UI 9 that provides new features that allow your foldable to be customizable to your heart’s contents.

However, what truly stands out is the introduction of the new shape of the foldable phone, where the Galaxy Z Fold8 sports a new shape, which will turn to a square shape when unfolded. The foldable, as a result, feels natural in the moments during deeper discovery, which leads to a more immersive experience as users consume content throughout the day.

The Z Fold8 Ultra also gets bigger with an 8-inch main display that maximizes your productivity, because it increases the screen real estate to allow more content to show up in your screen. The colors also pop with the Dynamic AMOLED 2X display in both the main screen and the cover screen. The larger battery capacity of 5,000 mAh allows you to stay productive for longer while supporting a full day of work, creation, and entertainment.

The foldables also become more powerful than never before, with the new Flex Titanium technology that provides your foldable phone with a titanium-based display structure so that the foldables become thinner while maintaining durability. As a result, it helps strengthen display support and absorb pressure and impact. The crease visibility has also been reduced, ensuring seamless experience.

Finally, there are improvements in both the processor and the camera of the new foldables. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy powers the new foldables, which gives those phones exceptional performance boosts in comparison with the previous generation.

In the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the 200MP wide-angle camera allows your pictures to become more clear than before. Also, the telephoto camera has been given improvements, with the 10MP resolution. However, in the Galaxy Z Fold8, the 50 MP ultrawide camera and the 50 MP wide cameras both allow your photography to look sharp, with ProVisual Engine taking your photos to a new level.

You can now pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip8 devices from the below links:

• Z Fold8 Ultra: Pre-order starting from $2,099.99

One UI 9.0 will be the last update for 2023 Galaxy devices

Previously, One UI 8.5’s rollout has excluded all Galaxy devices that were released in 2022, including the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip4, and the Galaxy Tab S8 series. This means that users who are using these devices will only receive quarterly security patches that are based on One UI 8.0 instead of the One UI 8.5 update that was anticipated at the time.

Meanwhile, devices that have already received One UI 8.5 will probably receive the One UI 9.0 update, given that they are still supported, with the latest device receiving the update in the second half of this year being the Galaxy S26 flagship series, which was released in February of this year.

Given that the rollout strategy has changed, we expect that One UI 9.0 will be the last update that will land to the following Galaxy devices:

• Galaxy S23
• Galaxy S23+
• Galaxy S23 Ultra
• Galaxy S23 FE
• Galaxy Z Fold5
• Galaxy Z Flip5
• Galaxy Tab S9
• Galaxy Tab S9+
• Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
• Galaxy Tab S9 FE
• Galaxy Tab S9 FE+
• Galaxy A34
• Galaxy A54
• …and more devices released in 2023

The above devices will not be eligible for future OS generation upgrades after One UI 9.0 was released.

This version of One UI 9.0 provides several features, such as the Masking Tape feature in Samsung Notes and the enhanced quick panel that allows you to take it to the next level in your style with even more customization options.
