Ex-Mercedes designer revs up Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra, Buds 3
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra and Buds 3 are designed by an ex-Mercedes-Benz designer. These products are slated to launch on July 10 in Paris. Ahead of the unveiling, a Samsung insider revealed how the products are crafted with a radical redesign.
According to IceUniverse, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra and Buds are designed by Hubert Lee. He has worked at Mercedes-Benz for over two decades, ranking as Chief of the Design department. Notably, Lee joined Samsung in December 2022.
Joining in late 2022 didn’t bring any notable change to Samsung’s design strategy. However, the official experience is now being deployed in the products coming next month. We’ve heard the Galaxy S25 series will feature a major design upgrade in the lineup.

Samsung disclosed in December 2022 that Lee will lead the MX Design Team, which is responsible for creating Galaxy products like S Series, Z Series, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Watch and more. His unique and visionary perspective will help shape the look and feel of Galaxy, building on the distinct design ethos.
Galaxy Watch Ultra will be the first Ultra-branded smartwatch by Samsung. It will have the most advanced hardware and software capabilities. The company may also fuel some exceptional health and wellness-related features so it could stand apart from rivals.
Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 7 Classic are also coming with a similar design as their predecessors. If you want a design upgrade, you will have to pay double the price and get the Ultra model. Despite featuring a squarish frame with curved edges, the screen will remain circular.
Talking about the Galaxy Buds 3, you will have an Apple AirPods-inspired design. It will result in a significantly enhanced calling experience, thanks to AirPods like stems and vents. The battery capacity might also be enhanced, utilizing the additional space in the body.

Some of the Galaxy Ring features were discovered in Samsung Health ahead of launch. The company confirmed its next Unpacked event on July 10 in Paris, France. The brand’s first ring-style health-tracking device will also be released at the event.
AndroidAuthority in its APKTeardown of Samsung Health discovered the UI of Galaxy Ring features. The revelation confirms that this innovative device will allow you to measure your heart rate and stress. You can also use the Ring to measure skin temperature and predict periods.
When paired with Galaxy as a companion, the Galaxy Ring will enable its Snore detection feature. It should be noted that some of these features require your phone to be nearby and charging. The Health app will also need permission to record audio through your phone to detect snores.
The Galaxy Ring is expected to support more features during the official launch. Features that are spotted in Samsung Health are from the latest version of the app. The app would get a major update, bringing Ring-related features following the release next month.
Samsung is expected to launch at least nine sizes of the Galaxy Ring. The largest size will have a larger battery capacity, allowing you to use it for a longer period on a single charge. Potential buyers will have the option to order a Sizing Kit before getting the Ring delivered.
Apart from the Galaxy Ring, the South Korean tech giant will introduce many more products. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 will take center stage. Besides, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will join the event alongside the Watch 7 series and Buds 3 series.
