As per a report from DigiTimes, Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event in January could be packed with surprises, including a preview of the Galaxy Ring 2. Sure, the Galaxy S25 series will likely steal the show, but Samsung might also use the event to show off the next-gen Galaxy Ring.

Samsung might ring in the new year with two new sizes for its newest wearable

Following Circular’s lead

The new Galaxy Ring will supposedly stick with the nine sizes from the original but throw in two extra to go head-to-head with the leading smart rings from manufacturers like Oura. Recently, leaker Max Jambor mentioned that Samsung is unveiling sizes 14 and 15 for the Galaxy Ring in January.


Don’t expect the new Galaxy Ring until late 2025

The Galaxy Ring 2 potentially making its debut at the Galaxy S25 launch event follows Samsung’s usual playbook. The first Galaxy Ring was also teased at a January Unpacked event earlier this year, with a market release in July. A rumor in November hinted at a quicker reveal for the Galaxy Ring 2, but the exact timing was still a mystery at that time.



While we might get a sneak peek at the next Galaxy Ring at the upcoming Unpacked event, don’t expect them to hit store shelves right away. As mentioned, the original Galaxy Ring was revealed in January 2024 but didn’t launch until July. So, it’s likely we’ll see a similar timeline for the Galaxy Ring 2.
