## What will it have? (today's facts are from Samsung Galaxy Ring)

- **Will I need a subscription?** No. The current Galaxy Ring has no required subscription, and we expect Ring 2 to stay that way. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-i-need-a-subscription))
- **Will the battery last longer?** Yes, according to ETNews. The current ring runs up to 7 days, while ETNews reports Samsung is targeting 9 to 10 days for Ring 2. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-the-battery-last-longer))
- **Will it measure blood pressure?** No. The current ring does not measure blood pressure, and we expect the same from Ring 2. ETNews reports broader cardiovascular health insights for the next generation, not direct blood pressure readings. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-measure-blood-pressure))
- **Will it cost more?** It starts at $399 today, and we expect Ring 2 to stay close to that because the reported changes are refinements rather than a new class of hardware. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-cost-more))
- **Will it read blood glucose?** No. The current ring has no glucose sensor, and ETNews reports non-invasive glucose sensing is not ready for this generation, so we expect Ring 2 to go without it. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-read-blood-glucose))
- **Will it track sleep apnea?** Yes. The current Galaxy Ring supports Samsung's FDA-cleared sleep apnea risk detection, and ETNews reports improved sleep tracking for Ring 2, so we expect it to keep that feature. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-track-sleep-apnea))
- **Will it still handle a shower or a swim?** Yes. The current Galaxy Ring is rated IP68 and 10 ATM for showers, swimming and snorkelling, and we expect Samsung to carry that protection into Ring 2. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-still-handle-a-shower-or-a-swim))
- **Will it work with my phone?** Android, yes. We expect full Android support to carry over, while Samsung executive Hon Pak has hinted that broader compatibility, possibly including iPhone, may come with the next generation. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-work-with-my-phone))
- **Will it be lighter?** Yes, according to ETNews. The outlet reports Ring 2 will be thinner and lighter than the first model, and the current ring weighs 2.3 to 3g, so we expect a modest reduction. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-be-lighter))
- **Will it connect any differently?** It connects over Bluetooth today, and we expect Ring 2 to do the same. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-connect-any-differently))
- **What colours will it come in?** It comes in three finishes today: Titanium Black, Titanium Gold and Titanium Silver. We expect Ring 2 to carry over a similar set. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-what-colours-will-it-come-in))
- **Will it be thinner?** Yes, according to ETNews. The outlet reports Ring 2 will be thinner than the first model, which is 2.6mm thick, so we expect a modest reduction. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-will-it-be-thinner))
- **What will it be made of?** It is Grade 5 titanium on the current ring, and we expect Ring 2 to stay with it. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-what-will-it-be-made-of))
- **What ring sizes will it come in?** It comes in US sizes 5 to 13 today, and we expect Ring 2 to offer a similar range. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-rings/samsung-galaxy-ring/roadmap#can-what-ring-sizes-will-it-come-in))
