pic.twitter.com/5xl7C9eJZT — U S M A N ⚓️ (@usmansays56) November 6, 2024 The possibility of a launch coinciding with the Galaxy S25 Ultra in January appears improbable, while a July release would not represent a significant advancement from the original launch period of the first Ring.
This situation creates a potential timeframe between these two events; however, it seems atypical for Samsung to hold a separate event solely for the ring. Given the limited information available, it remains uncertain whether Samsung intends to execute a surprise launch in January or adhere more closely to the previously established summer timeframe. Should the speculation regarding an early launch be accurate, a release in January alongside the Galaxy S25 series remains a viable possibility.
In addition to the anticipated launch schedule, the rumor indicates significant enhancements for the Galaxy Ring 2. The informant proposes a more streamlined design and a superior battery life compared to its predecessor. Furthermore, the leak alludes to "new features," although specific details have yet to be disclosed.

It is reported that Apple is developing a ring-style device and is investigating both band-style and smart glasses wearables.
The concept of an Apple smart ring is not unprecedented; the company has previously submitted patents for such a device, as well as for smart glasses. However, the nature of the purported "band-type" wearable remains unclear—could it resemble products like Whoop bands. Also Read: iOS 18.
