Plans for the next iteration of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring wearable may be accelerating, according to a recent leak. While the first Galaxy Ring launched in July of this year, a tipster now suggests Samsung might bring the Galaxy Ring 2 to market sooner than expected.
The rumor, originating from a Korean online platform Naver, claims the Galaxy Ring 2 will arrive “a bit earlier” than originally planned. Unfortunately, the source remains silent on the exact timeframe.
Galaxy Ring 2 may launch in January
Launching alongside the Galaxy S25 Ultra in January seems unlikely, while July wouldn’t be significantly earlier than the original Ring’s launch window.
This leaves an open window between these events, but a standalone event for the ring seems out of character for Samsung. With limited details, it’s unclear if Samsung plans a surprise January launch or will stick closer to the original summer window.
If the early launch rumor proves true, though, a January release alongside the Galaxy S25 series could still be possible.
Beyond the launch timeframe, the rumor hints at key improvements for the Galaxy Ring 2. The tipster suggests a slimmer design and an improved battery compared to the original model. The leak also mentions “new features,” but specifics remain under wraps.
Is Apple Ring incoming?
In addition to the Galaxy Ring 2, the tipster reveals Apple’s plans for wearables. Reportedly, Apple is working on a ring-style wearable and exploring both a band-style and smart glass wearable.
The idea of an Apple smart ring isn’t new; Apple has even filed patents for it, as it has for smart glasses. However, we are unsure about the alleged “band-type” wearable—could it be something like Whoop bands?
It’s crucial to remember that this information stems from a single, unverified source. While the details could materialize, it’s equally possible they won’t.
