Samsung fully launched the Galaxy Ring this summer, and so we were expecting its successor (if there was to be one) to arrive next summer. That, however, may not be the case, as one tipster now claims. According to this unverified rumor, the Galaxy Ring 2 is coming, and it’s going to arrive sooner than initially planned.
Unfortunately the source doesn’t go into any more detail about the specific launch time frame, so we can only speculate – January alongside the Galaxy S25 family seems too soon, July with the next batch of foldables isn’t early compared to expectations, so the next Galaxy Ring should arrive at some point in between? That doesn’t make a lot of sense since we don’t see Samsung holding an entire event just for it. So maybe it is coming in January after all? Only time will tell.
Anyway, when it does arrive it will boast better battery life than the original, and it will also be thinner. It will apparently have some new features too, but these aren’t detailed so we can only hope NFC for payments is one.
As usual with these kinds of rumors, don’t forget it’s just one unverified source claiming all of this, so maybe everything you just read will pan out, or maybe not – it could go either way.
