Additionally, according to the leak, the Galaxy Ring 2 will be thinner and have a longer battery life than its predecessor. These are definitely welcome improvements, especially the longer battery life, as many users found the battery life of the first Galaxy Ring to be a bit lacking. The leak also suggests that the new ring will have additional features, though the specifics are still unknown. I’m really curious to see what new functionalities Samsung will introduce. Perhaps more advanced health tracking or even contactless payments?

Interestingly, the same blogger also claims that Apple is still working on their own smart ring, along with other wearable devices like smart glasses. This contradicts a recent report from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who stated that Apple wasn’t actively developing a smart ring. While yeux1122 has been accurate with Samsung leaks in the past, their track record with Apple is less certain. So, I wouldn’t call this a given.
Personally, I’m excited about the possibility of a new Galaxy Ring. While I skipped the first one, I am eager to see how Samsung will improve upon the original and what new features they will add. The competition from Apple in the smart ring space could also push Samsung to innovate further, which would ultimately benefit us consumers. It’s definitely a space I’ll be keeping a close eye for my future wearable needs.
