According to a new report from Korea, Samsung’s successor to the Galaxy Ring is coming next year. The Galaxy Ring launched back in 2024, so this means it will have almost three years on the market before it’s replaced – a rarity these days in the tech world, where every product seems to be on a yearly refresh cycle or, in some cases, maybe a two-year cycle.
The report in question says the Ring 2 is coming early next year, so it may be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S27 family. For the Galaxy Ring 2, Samsung is allegedly focusing on battery life, comfort, and sensor accuracy – and those are probably the biggest pain points of the original, so the strategy definitely makes sense.
The upcoming device will be thinner and lighter than its predecessor, more comfortable to wear, and will come with a quoted battery life of 9-10 days. Sleep analysis should get more accurate, and there will be some “expanded insights” related to cardiovascular health. A future ring in the series (but not the Galaxy Ring 2) may also come with non-invasive blood glucose measurement technology.
