Samsung has reportedly been developing a Galaxy Ring sequel since last year, but a new article claims it's "virtually impossible" for the Korean tech giant to release the Galaxy Ring 2 this year.

Instead, according to the Korean publication ETNews, Samsung is aiming to debut the Ring 2 in early 2027. Apparently, the release schedule is being reevaluated around the growth of the smart ring market and the launch of other flagship devices.

The Galaxy Ring is already one of the best smart rings available, and the next iteration will reportedly focus on longer battery life, better comfort and new sensors.

Starting with comfort, the Galaxy Ring 2 is supposed to be thinner and weigh less thanks to optimized component placement. It was not reported by how much or how the components will be laid out.

When it comes to longevity, the Galaxy Ring is rated at seven days for its battery life, though we found it closer to six. According to ETNews though, the next iteration should improve this to 9-10 days.

Sensor functions are supposed to be enhanced including improved sleep analysis and advanced body temperature sensors. There will also likely be "expanded insights related to cardiovascular health."

Allegedly, Samsung is working on integrating blood glucose measurement technology, but it may not debut on the Galaxy Ring. The struggle centers around accuracy, regulatory approval and the implementation of "ultra-small sensors."

We may see this appear on the Galaxy Watch first, though we've seen rumors regarding that feature as far back as 2021.

Interestingly, ETNews suggests that Samsung is considering dividing functions in the Ring and Galaxy Watch. The Ring would focus on sleep and daily health data in combination with Galaxy AI and Samsung Health. The Galaxy Watch would handle exercise, notifications and app functions.

If the schedule holds, we could see the Galaxy Ring 2 launch alongside the Galaxy S27 lineup in early 2027, likely around January.
