Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to give us a lot of details about the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, but a new report suggests there could be a few additional surprises announced at the January 22 show — including the Samsung Galaxy Ring 2.

The existence of the Galaxy Ring 2 hasn’t been much of a secret, with prior leaks giving us looks at what kind of specs to expect. Now, a new report from Taiwanese outlet DigiTimes suggests Samsung might announce it at Galaxy Unpacked, just as it did with the first Galaxy Ring this year.

However, the report doesn’t give us many more details on the level of performance to expect. It reiterates that better battery life is expected (over seven days) alongside AI functionality and more health data sensors, although the battery life is dependent on the size of the Galaxy Ring.

It also confirms the two new Galaxy Ring sizes, bringing the total to 11 in an attempt to compete with Oura’s wider size accommodations.

In addition to a new Galaxy Ring, Samsung could also announce its long-rumored AR smart glasses. Firm details about these smart glasses have been elusive, but they’re supposed to look like a relatively normal pair of glasses and weigh around 50 grams, or about the weight of a household sponge.

One thing to remember is that some of these products won’t go on sale at Galaxy Unpacked. The first Galaxy Ring was announced at the January event, but wasn’t released until summer, and the same could hold true for the Galaxy Ring 2 and the AR smart glasses. With so few details about the smart glasses, they could be a long way from release.

Of course, take this all with some skepticism. Despite the veracity of the sources, rumors are still just rumors and could be proven wrong. Concrete details won’t be available until the show.

The dream of uber cheap phones for kids and grandparents is effectively dead, thanks to AI
AI's demand for memory chips has made budget smartphones unprofitable to build.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

That $100 phone you were going to grab for your kid's first device, or hand down to grandma, could become a dream in a while. AI's hunger for memory chips just made the entire budget phone category borderline impossible to build.

So how bad are we actually talking?

Apple’s new Upgrade program launches on Tuesday with major changes
Apple's new leasing program might drop AppleCare coverage from the bundle.

Buying your next Apple device could soon look like leasing a car. Apple is launching its new Apple Upgrade program on Tuesday, July 28, replacing new enrollments in the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program with a lease-based option that covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches.

Backed by Klarna, the program is designed to lower the upfront cost of Apple's premium devices, but it is also raising questions about whether you'll actually own what you're paying for.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on
From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.
Analog Clock, Clock, Electronics

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.
