Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 expected to launch ahead of schedule with slimmer design and improved battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Ring launched in several markets (including India) earlier this year, months after being teased by the South Korean tech conglomerate. A successor to the first-generation ring-shaped health and fitness tracker could launch sooner than Samsung expected, according to details shared by a tipster. The rumored Galaxy Ring 2 would also feature a slimmer design and offer better battery life, while introducing new features. Meanwhile, Apple is also expected to work on new smart wearable devices.

Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 expected to launch sooner than expected

According to a job by user @eyes1122 (in Korean) on Naver, Samsung plans to launch the successor to the first-generation Galaxy Ring “sooner than originally planned.” While this is a vague claim, we can assume that this means Samsung could launch the wearable in 2025 – if it previously planned a later release schedule. If the company was already considering a 2025 launch window, it could even arrive as early as the Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2025.

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

The Galaxy Ring 2 should also offer better battery life than the current model. When the Samsung Galaxy Ring launched 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 did not share any details.

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