Samsung is taking wearable technology to the next level with its upcoming Galaxy Ring 2. A newly surfaced patent filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) reveals that the smart ring will feature gesture-based controls, allowing users to manage multiple devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones with simple hand movements. Beyond seamless multi-device interaction, the Galaxy Ring 2 is expected to offer advanced health tracking and AI-driven features, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of wearable tech.
Samsung's development of the Galaxy Ring 2 sparked numerous rumors before its official announcement. Samsung submitted patent documentation to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) which shows its expanded vision for smart ring improvement this year. According to the patent documentation, the upcoming wearable device will allow users to handle multiple devices, such as laptops and tablets through gesture-based operation.
The patent, submitted on January 30, 2025, presents details about Galaxy Ring 2's capabilities to enable users to manage multiple connected electronics simultaneously. Through wireless communication, the ring connects to connected devices such as laptops or tablets that operate through a shared network system. When deployed as a controller, the smart ring would allow flawless device-to-device transition while managing multiple electronic devices.
The ring incorporates gesture control that lets users operate the device screen content through their ring movements. The ring possesses sensors that pick up hand movements and deliver instructions to connected technology devices. This could pave the way for efficient multitasking where the user can switch between devices, alter the output or even change the format by just using his hands.
Furthermore enhanced health tracking capabilities are predicted for the Galaxy Ring 2 and its emerging device control technologies. Samsung has enhanced the upcoming ring model's activity monitoring and health tracking features compared to the original model. The tracking features will deliver better performance by providing precise data about heart rate measurement, sleep cycle analysis, and overall health data monitoring. AI functions added to the system would develop a superior user experience through the device's ability to learn the wearer's behavior patterns.
According to current reports, the Galaxy Ring 2 will feature improved battery longevity because it can stay operational for seven days straight through a single charge cycle. This extended battery performance availability represents an important improvement compared to its initial version which lasted only a few days upon launch.
Samsung’s patent filing strengthens rumors regarding future release of the Galaxy Ring 2 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 editions. The company initially planned to launch the new ring with the Galaxy S25 series but this schedule was postponed. The new smart ring may mean progress in wearable technology as it incorporates health tracking ability with user-friendly device manipulation functions.
