With these two upgrades, the Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 could be launched soon

Samsung Galaxy Ring was launched in several markets (including India) earlier this year, months after it was teased by the South Korean tech conglomerate. According to details shared by a tipster, a successor to the first-generation ring-shaped health and fitness tracker could be launched earlier than Samsung previously planned. The alleged Galaxy Ring 2 is also said to have a sleeker design and offer better battery life while introducing new features. Meanwhile, Apple is also tipped to be working on new smart wearable devices.

Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 will be launched earlier than expected

According to one after by user @yeux1122 (in Korean) on Naver, Samsung expects to launch the successor to the first-generation Galaxy Ring “earlier than originally planned.” While this is a vague claim, we can speculate that this means Samsung could launch the wearable in 2025 – if it had previously planned a later release schedule. If the company was already considering a 2025 launch window, it could even happen as early as the Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2025.

Besides the early launch timeline suggested by the tipster, who has a good track record when it comes to leaks related to upcoming Samsung products, the alleged Galaxy Ring 2 will feature a thinner design. The first-generation model is available in nine sizes, ranging from size five to size 13. The size five version weighs 2.3 ounces and is 7.0 mm wide, while the size 13 weighs 3 ounces.

The Galaxy Ring 2 is also tipped to offer better battery life than the current model. When the company launched the Samsung Galaxy Ring earlier this year, the company said it would offer up to seven days of battery life on a single charge. The tipster also mentions new features, but has not shared any details.

According to recent reports, Apple is also working on its own wearables that could come in the form of a smart ring, and the tipster reiterates this claim in their blog post. However, another recent report suggested that the iPhone maker had abandoned its smart ring project to avoid cannibalizing sales of the Apple Watch.
