Samsung's new 'Precious' may not be ready for a 2025 launch
Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority
TL;DR The Galaxy Ring 2 may not launch this year.
A new report suggests Samsung has just started developing the smart ring.
If development is still in its early stages, it could be several months before the product is ready for market.
It's been nearly a year since Samsung launched the Galaxy Ring, so it's reasonable to expect a successor soon, perhaps within the next month or so. However, it appears the wait for Samsung's second-generation smart ring could be much longer than expected.
According to a report from Galaxy Club, development on the so-called Galaxy Ring 2 has only just begun. While the report doesn't provide any specific launch timeline, this suggests that Samsung may not release the device in 2025. If development is still in its early stages, it may be several months before the product is ready to hit the market. However, since the Galaxy Ring was the first of its kind, it's hard to predict what Samsung's developmental cycle looks like at this point.
Meanwhile, rumors about the Galaxy Ring 2 have been circulating since last year. The upcoming ring is expected to be slimmer, deliver improved battery life depending on size, and offer upgraded health tracking and AI features. Samsung was previously expected to tease the device alongside the Galaxy S25 series in January, but that clearly didn't happen.
Another separate leak from November 2024 claimed that the Galaxy Ring 2 would arrive sooner than expected, but all we've heard from Samsung is complete radio silence.
If Galaxy Club's latest report is accurate, we may not see the new Galaxy Ring until early 2026, with a potential debut alongside the Galaxy S26 series in January. Still, as always, it's best to take these reports with a grain of salt.

Emerging Assets Drop as US Strike on Iran Fans Worries About Oil
(Bloomberg) -- Asian currencies and stocks fell at the start of the week, as US strikes on Iran rattled investors and pushed up the price of oil. Bezos Wedding Draws Protests, Soul-Searching Over Tourism in Venice One Architect's Quest to Save Mumbai's Heritage From Disappearing NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports South Korea's won led the drop among currencies, contributing to the 0.3% fall in the Bloomberg Asia Dollar Index. Indonesia's rupiah also declined, and the country's central bank confirmed it had intervened both on- and offshore to arrest the slide. On the equities front, MSCI's EM equities gauge dropped 1%. President Donald Trump's decision to attack three Iranian nuclear sites opens a new front in the conflict between Israel and Iran, which has stoked concerns fears that energy supplies from the Middle East will be disrupted. That's a particular concern for economies in Asia, many of whom import the lion's share of their fuel supply. 'Our analysis shows that the Philippine peso, Korean won and Thai baht are more vulnerable in Asia' to oil-price spikes, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. analysts led by Michael Wan wrote in a note. 'Further increases in oil prices could start to impact the policy space of the Philippines and Vietnam, and to a smaller extent India,' delaying central bank interest rate cuts. The moves also risk upending the rally in local currency bond markets, which registered strong inflows as global funds shied away from US assets and the dollar weakened. The Strait of Hormuz is a choke-point for Mideast oil, and investors are watching for any signs it gets blocked. Tehran has warned of retaliation. Reflecting the potential fallout, the 30-day correlation between Brent oil futures and the Asia Dollar Spot Index is now at its most negative since March 2022, with a reading of -0.45, according to Bloomberg calculations. Wells Fargo & Co. sees the Indian rupee, as well as the won, baht and peso, as potentially the worst hit. Long positioning potentially is most extended for the won, followed by the baht, which could contribute to a relatively poor performance in the short term, said Chidu Narayanan, head of macro strategy for APAC at the firm. On the equities front, Taiwan's exchange posted some of the biggest declines. Chip stocks sold off on fears the US may revoke waivers allowing firms to ship American technology to China. Investors were 'running full tilt in the direction of EM' at the time Trump announced the US strikes, Robin Brooks, a senior fellow in the global economy and development program at the Brookings Institution, wrote in a note. 'This heightens the risk of a violent reversal in these flows, which could cause EM currencies to weaken sharply.' --With assistance from Jaehyun Eom, Swati Pandey and Bhaskar Dutta.
