The mobile industry is eagerly anticipating the release of the Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup. However, Samsung is already quietly preparing for its next wave of high-end devices, slated to be released later this year. Recent discoveries in the GSMA database offer an early glimpse into what we can expect from their upcoming tablet and wearable lineups in late 2026, hinting at some strategic shifts ahead. This leak confirms the existence of the Galaxy Tab S12 series, the Galaxy Watch 9, and a true successor to Samsung’s most rugged wearable, tentatively named the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Confirmed in New Database Leak
If it feels like Samsung’s tablet naming conventions shift constantly, you are not mistaken. The recent records indicate yet another transformation in the company’s approach to the Galaxy Tab S12 series. Last year, the Tab S11 lineup included a base model along with an Ultra variant, notably omitting a “Plus” version.
Looking forward to 2026, the database reveals the model numbers SM-X846 and SM-X946, which correspond to the Galaxy Tab S12+ and the Tab S12 Ultra (information sourced from Smartprix). Interestingly, there is no mention of a standard, smaller Tab S12, suggesting a potential return to a strategy prioritizing larger screens and enhanced performance tiers. The introduction of this “Plus and Ultra” combo aims to provide users with a choice between a large, high-performance tablet and the immense “powerhouse” experience offered by the Ultra.
Samsung Also Working on the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Watch 9
Meanwhile, there are significant developments in Samsung’s wearable offerings as well. According to the leaked data, the Galaxy Watch 9 (model number SM-L345) appears set to continue the legacy of the standard series. This iteration is likely to enhance refined health tracking and improved battery life tailored for the everyday user.
However, the standout model for avid fans seems to be the SM-L716, which is associated with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. This new model number likely signifies a more substantial hardware upgrade compared to the minor updates seen in recent years. Users can expect improved durability in materials, enhanced GPS functionality, and specialized features designed for extreme sports and outdoor activities.
Historically, such devices typically enter the market approximately six to seven months after being recorded in these databases. This timing suggests a potential launch window around August or September 2026, likely coinciding with a new generation of foldable smartphones.
Before that anticipated period arrives, Samsung still has an exciting lineup planned for its early-year flagships. Nevertheless, for those who value the productivity of a large tablet or the ruggedness of a high-end smartwatch, the latter half of 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting season for the Galaxy ecosystem.
