The Samsung Galaxy Ring took the wearables world by storm, with the product shoving this smartwatch alternative into the spotlight – and helping to generate more interest in competitors in the best smart ring category from the likes of Oura and RingConn. Now it looks like Samsung is gearing up to launch an upgrade to this product line shortly, with a tipster’s comments making it sound like we could see the Galaxy Ring 2 fairly soon.
A new leak out of Korea claims that Samsung may launch the sequel to the Galaxy Ring early with a few improvements. The leak, shared on the Korean search engine/blogging platform Naver, said that the Galaxy Ring 2 will be released “a bit earlier than originally scheduled”.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 phone series in January next year, though that is probably too early. It has been rumored that Samsung might launch a Galaxy S25 Slim later in the spring. That could be a potential early window for the Korean company to accelerate the release date of the next Galaxy Ring. However, it’s unclear what “early” actually means here.
More feature on the way
The leaker, Lanzuk, did add that Galaxy Ring 2 should have a thinner band, longer battery life and “more features.” However, they did not provide more details on what those new features might include. They commented in their post that the sensor structure and measurements have been improved.
Perhaps it’ll also include that adaptive sizing feature teased by a recently awarded Samsung patent, though we’ll have to wait and see what’s announced.
On this note, as with all leaks we should take Lanzuk’s blog post and our speculation with a pinch of salt. Until Samsung makes an announcement we don’t know what we’ll get from the Galaxy Ring 2 – nor when it will launch.
