A new leak has revealed most of the remaining details about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, according to Android Authority.

Ahead of the South Korean company's Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 22, Android Authority reports that the 40mm Galaxy Watch 9 will feature a 438 x 438-pixel display, while the 44mm Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2 will use a larger 480 x 480-pixel display. RAM and storage will vary by model, with up to 2GB and 64GB, respectively.

Citing a report from Winfuture, battery capacity appears to be one of the more notable upgrades, as it has been with recent Apple Watch releases. Android Authority also notes that the 44mm Watch 9 is expected to carry a 445mAh battery, matching last year's Watch 8 Classic, while the smaller 40mm model is said to retain its predecessor's 325mAh cell. The bigger jump is expected on the Watch Ultra 2, which the outlet said could reach 800mAh, up significantly from the 590mAh battery in the current Watch Ultra.

Other leaked details include Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and dual-band WiFi across all models, along with the usual LTE variants. Android Authority also reported that the Watch Ultra 2 is expected to feature a titanium casing and 100-meter water resistance, while the standard Watch 9 will stick with aluminum and a 5 ATM rating. All models are said to ship with Wear OS 7 running on One UI 9 Watch.

Perhaps the most significant change under the hood is a shift away from Samsung's own Exynos W1000 chip in favor of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite SW6100, a chipset Samsung announced earlier this year, according to the outlet. And, as Mashable has reported previously, Samsung Leaker Ice Universe recently revealed that the Watch Ultra 2's display could reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits.

On pricing, Android Authority cited a separate leak indicating the Galaxy Watch 9 will start at €409 (about $468) for the 40mm Bluetooth model, with 44mm variants ranging up to €489 (about $560) for the LTE version. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 LTE is expected to carry a €749 (about $857) price tag — figures the outlet said were partially corroborated by the Winfuture report.

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...
