Galaxy Ring 2 is coming but don't hold your breath for a 2025 release

The first rumor of a Galaxy Ring sequel emerged from Korea last year, mere months after Samsung announced the original model. That rumor may have been too hopeful, citing a sooner-than-expected release.

Make no mistake. There are now signs that a Galaxy Ring 2 — or whatever Samsung decides to call it — is on its way. However, it may take longer for the Galaxy Ring 2 to reach the market, and the possibility of a 2025 release seems unlikely.

GalaxyClub reports that Samsung has only recently begun working on the Galaxy Ring 2. For now, technical details are missing, but that's mainly because the Ring 2 is still in an early stage of development.

Considering this, it's fairly safe to assume that the Galaxy Ring 2 won't see the light of day this year. A launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series in 2026, or after the Galaxy S26 debuts, seems more feasible.

Samsung released a limited-edition two-tone Galaxy Ring in Korea last month, but that's hardly a sequel. It was only a special color scheme for the original Galaxy Ring, meant to celebrate the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge ultra-thin smartphone.

On the one hand, we expect more than a color change from the Galaxy Ring 2. Perhaps nothing as ambitious as a self-adjustable design, but more, nevertheless.

On the other hand, the Galaxy Ring 2 probably won't represent a massive departure from the original model. The Galaxy Ring is a tiny smart device with few opportunities for enhancements after only one or two years.

However, the overall design could improve. Upon release, the Galaxy Ring 2 could be slimmer and more energy efficient. Besides, through further AI improvements, there is a possibility that the Galaxy Ring 2 will offer better or more Samsung Health features.

Once again, specs are unknown at present, but work on the device has begun. If you don't want to wait for the sequel, the original Galaxy Ring is still on sale in most markets and arguably remains the best smart ring for Samsung fans and Galaxy phone users. You can buy it in one of three color options and eleven sizes.
