Samsung Galaxy Ring 2

 

According to the report, Samsung will preview the second-generation model of its Galaxy Ring at the next Galaxy Unpacked event. The company could opt for a similar strategy as the first-generation model, previewing the device in January and launching later in the year alongside the next-generation foldables.

 

As for the changes, the report stated that the Galaxy Ring 2 will offer better health sensors and improved battery life. No major design change is expected from the new model.

Smart glasses

 

While the company has already showcased its Project Moohan extended reality headset, Samsung may unveil a new smart glass device. Based on the Android XR platform, the smart glass will likely use Google's Gemini AI assistant to offer functionalities such as real-time conversation translation, message summarisation, direction assistance and more.

 

Previously it was reported that Samsung is developing a Ray-Ban Meta glasses-like smart glass device with a built-in 12MP camera for recording and more. It will likely be powered by a Qualcomm AR1 chip, the same processor that powers Meta's smart glasses.

 

Project Moohan XR headset

 

Earlier this month, Samsung announced that it has developed a prototype XR headset, named Project Moohan, in partnership with Google and Qualcomm. The device may be officially revealed at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.

 

Built on Google's Android XR platform, the headset is anticipated to feature advanced displays, pass-through functionality, and multi-modal input options. It is designed to function as a "spatial canvas," allowing users to engage in activities such as navigating Google Maps, watching YouTube, and interacting with Gemini for a variety of tasks.
