It’s a bummer that we didn’t get a Galaxy Ring 2 reveal today

Samsung's annual Galaxy Unpacked event for January 2025 has just ended, and while we're all excited to see...
See. Of course, I wanted to see more of the XR headphones they teased, and hear more about the enigmatic, ultra-thin headphones.
edge...
I know, I know: I'm in the minority. wide A minority, probably. But let me explain!
The original Galaxy Ring It was released less than a year ago: July 2024, but despite this, it seems like the right time for Samsung to repeat it. As we mentioned on our website Galaxy Ring review, this Samsung's wearables have been a great idea, thrown into a mixed bag. It wasn't the most comfortable thing to wear, despite being placed in the "sweet spot" for tracking health. It wasn't the most accurate either, as measurements varied widely between readings from the Ring and any other smartwatch.
This, combined with the fact that it requires you to use it with Samsung smartphones exclusively, with little to no additional features enabled, probably explains what I meant when I said it was already time to update. If not, let me explain: With an improved design, improved tracking capabilities, and some nifty integrations with Sammy's existing and upcoming hardware roster, Galaxy Ring 2 would have really been a cherry on top of a somewhat, well, lackluster AI-centric event.

Now that The Galaxy S25 Ultra has been unveiled, and I have to point out one worrying point about the smartphone: The S Pen no longer supports Bluetooth. This, in turn, means that some fan-favorite custom features are no longer supported. Imagine if Samsung revealed something new Galaxy RingHowever, it is able to give that return to users. Sure, this basically means that some features will be locked out with an additional purchase, but hey: better to have them than not, right?
But that won't be enough, so let me raise Samsung's upcoming XR headphone has been confirmed. This legendary beast, formerly known as Project Mohan, has been notorious for some time, causing tension between longtime partners Google and Samsung. But that all seems to be in the past, as it has now been confirmed that the headphone is real. Speaking of: Imagine if Galaxy Ring The sequel was revealed alongside it as an add-on peripheral. Apple has certainly already demonstrated the power of virtual reality without a controller through Vision Pro, but you have something you can hold onto - e.g Smart ring - It can ensure more accurate readings.
Wait a minute, what about the existing Galaxy Ring update?
TL;DR: Sounds cool, may not work.
I'm sure that if Samsung had managed to, it would have made the ring thinner by default, especially if the company isn't thinking of replicating it anytime soon. However, for health readings, this may not be entirely the case. Samsung has spent some time during Galaxy S25 It reveals an event to talk about updates and improvements to Samsung Health, so perhaps that means a new firmware update for Galaxy Ring itself as well? We'll have to wait and see.
Let's be honest, though: new devices will mean radically improved health monitoring, more refined design and perhaps: expanded capabilities, as new product releases ensure new feature needs. Sure: Samsung could reveal itself as a mastermind when it comes to planning for the future, but again: Galaxy Ring It was definitely a beta.
Should the Galaxy Ring 2 happen?
Samsung's Galaxy line of flagship phones, wearables, and gadgets have always managed to grab mainstream attention, and I mean that in the best way possible. In essence, this was - well, I mean, It still is — The company's second opportunity to spread the smart ring concept. Apple has filed several patents related to the idea in the past, but none have materialized Closes It is paying off, while other major competitors in the technology space are not really vying to enter the race.
This does not mean that Galaxy Ring 2 won't have competitors, though. the Oura Ring: Perhaps the most famous example of a ring, everything related to health and fitness tracking — now, by the way, four iterations deep — is an absolute choice. You also have lesser-known competitors such as The circular air of superhumans. But I have to be honest, I think Galaxy Ring The 2's biggest competitor lives in his house, that is Galaxy watch 7.
It's a simple fact: not everyone can wear a ring all the time. I've been trying to get used to wearing the ring on my index finger - which is where you're supposed to wear it Galaxy Ring For best results - and although I fell in love with the design of this thing, wearing it is a completely different matter. I haven't really stopped to think about how much I use the part of my hand where the ring is now, like washing or scratching my face for example, or when lifting weights. At the same time, almost all of these challenges disappear when I wear a smartwatch. Plus, I can give little hints if the auto-detect isn't working quite right, which is definitely a plus.
Regardless, however, for meThe truth is very simple: Samsung owes this concept at least one more good swing. The potential benefits really spark the imagination, which is a must Something. Keep in mind: All of my theories, outlined above, could happen this year: during the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. I mean, if we're promised we'll see more of the first-ever Galaxy Edge smartphone and the Google x Samsung phone VR headset, why not Galaxy Ring 2 Get a surprise ad next to them?
But enough about that. Now, who angry That the S Pen doesn't support Bluetooth? And I will You He buysA Galaxy Ring If that would give you a return some From him?
