The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to take center stage at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22nd. However, a recent report from Taiwanese outlet DigiTimes hints at additional surprises, including the potential unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 and AR smart glasses.
While the Galaxy Ring 2’s existence has been circulating in leaks, suggesting enhanced specs and features, this report reinforces the possibility of an official announcement at Galaxy Unpacked, mirroring the debut of the original Galaxy Ring. Details regarding performance remain scarce, but rumors point to improved battery life (potentially exceeding seven days), integrated AI functionality, and a more comprehensive suite of health data sensors. The actual battery life, however, is anticipated to vary based on the ring’s size.

Two new Galaxy Ring sizes are also expected, bringing the total to eleven, a strategic move to rival Oura’s broader size range.
Beyond the Galaxy Ring 2, Samsung’s long-rumored AR smart glasses could also make an appearance. Concrete information remains elusive, but these glasses are projected to resemble conventional eyewear, weighing approximately 50 grams, comparable to a household sponge.
It’s important to note that an announcement doesn’t guarantee immediate availability. The original Galaxy Ring, announced in January, wasn’t released until summer. A similar timeline could apply to the Galaxy Ring 2 and the AR smart glasses, particularly given the limited information available regarding the latter.
While these rumors originate from reputable sources, it’s crucial to approach them with caution. Definitive details will only be confirmed during the Galaxy Unpacked event.
