Samsung hints Galaxy Ring 2 is still on the way

Samsung barely mentioned the Galaxy Ring at this year’s Unpacked event, but a senior executive has indicated that the smart ring will remain part of the company’s wearable strategy.

The presentation focused on Samsung’s broader wearable lineup, including its AR glasses, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and Galaxy Watch 9. The Galaxy Ring received only a brief mention, despite Samsung confirming that its sleep apnea detection feature had received FDA certification.

That silence raised questions about whether Samsung might treat the first-generation Ring as a one-off product. The company’s comments suggest otherwise. During an interview, Annika Bizon, Samsung’s vice president of product and marketing for Mobile Experience, was asked whether there was any news about a potential Galaxy Ring 2.

“I will say yes, we are looking at the future of Ring, watch this space. It will definitely form part of our future portfolio of wearables.”

Bizon was wearing a Galaxy Ring during the interview and also described how it works alongside a Samsung smartwatch.

“Well, I love it because it’s discreet health. It tells me some of the things I need to know and when I put my watch back on, they’ll work together.”

Her comments do not provide a launch date or technical details, but the reference to a “future portfolio” points to continued investment in the product line. Samsung’s pursuit of certifications for the first-generation Ring also suggests that the company remains committed to the form factor.
