The Galaxy Ring 2 could launch early with a thinner design

Samsung stepped into the wearable industry with its first smartwatch over a decade ago. However, this year the South Korean tech giant stepped up a little bit more with the launch of its first smart ring, the Galaxy Ring (Review), which had a great reception from the public. That’s not all, Samsung is already working on the Galaxy Ring 2, which reportedly could come early next year with several improvements.

Tipster claims the Galaxy Ring 2 is coming earlier than originally planned

Late last month, a leaked Samsung patent hinted that the Galaxy Ring 2 could have a resizing structure. Now, a Korean tipster, Lanzuk (@yeux1122), has spilled some details about the upcoming Galaxy Ring 2 on Naver.

According to the tipster’s post, Samsung could launch the Galaxy Ring 2 a bit earlier than originally planned. However, the Korean blogger hasn’t mentioned any launch window yet. Samsung announced the original Galaxy Ring in January before it launched at the July Unpacked event. Given the claim, we can expect Samsung to launch the next iteration in the first half of 2025.

Apart from the early launch, the tipster adds that the Galaxy Ring 2 might come with a bunch of improvements. According to him, the next Galaxy Ring could feature a thinner design, longer battery life, and more unspecified features. It’s worth noting that the Korean tipster has a good track record with Samsung-related leaks. Still, we want you to take these details with a grain of salt.

Claims about Apple Ring still in development

Besides the next Galaxy Ring, the tipster has made some claims related to some wearable devices Apple is working on. He adds that Apple is still working on a device that he calls a “ring-type wearable” in his blog post. There are claims made about “band-type” and “smart glass-type” wearables in the works.

We can’t confirm whether these details are accurate because the popular Apple insider, Mark Gurman, had previously hinted that Apple has no plans to launch a smart ring. Time will tell if we’ll see a smart ring from Apple. But, one thing is sure, the Galaxy Ring 2 is definitely coming.
