Samsung Likely Won't Unveil a Galaxy Ring 2 Tomorrow - But You Can Look Forward to This Instead

Published January 21, 2025

There's been a lot of speculation surrounding Samsung and the potential reveal of the second-generation Galaxy Ring at the upcoming Unpacked event. Last January, Samsung showcased its first smart ring, generating excitement and anticipation for similar news this year.

However, many experts believe that the release of the Galaxy Ring 2 is unlikely in the immediate future. This skepticism stems from a recent announcement by Samsung about expanding the sizing options of the original Galaxy Ring.

New Sizes Available

Starting January 22, the first-generation Galaxy Ring will be available in two new sizes: size 14 and size 15. This expansion brings the total size offerings from five to fifteen, catering to a wider range of customers. Alongside this, Samsung is also set to distribute the smart ring in 16 new markets globally by February 7.

Additionally, Samsung has integrated new sleep features into the smart ring app. These features aim to enhance the user's sleep quality. They include a sleep environment report to optimize bedroom conditions, sleep time guidance, and a mindfulness tracker to assist in managing pre-bedtime stress.

With the expansion of sizing, Samsung strengthens its position as a key player in the smart ring market. It appears to be looking to compete directly with established brands like Oura, which offers sizes ranging from four to fifteen.

Rumors of Galaxy Ring 2

Earlier reports suggested that the Galaxy Ring 2 would make its debut at the Unpacked event, highlighting improvements such as better battery life, enhanced accuracy, and AI functionality. However, given the recent announcement about size expansions for the existing Galaxy Ring, many experts are doubtful about the timing of the new model's launch. Nonetheless, attendees will be eager to see if Samsung provides a teaser for the Galaxy Ring 2, similar to what they did the previous year.

What Else to Expect

While the unveiling of a second-generation Galaxy Ring may not be in the cards for tomorrow, there are still plenty of exciting announcements on the horizon. The event is expected to showcase the latest mobile hardware, including the Galaxy S25 lineup, along with AI enhancements across a range of devices.
