Samsung Galaxy Ring 2 Could Pioneer All-Solid-State Batteries, Leading Wearable Device Energy Innovation

On April 2nd, industry sources revealed that Samsung Electronics is actively promoting the research and application of all-solid-state battery technology, and plans to first apply it to its Galaxy wearable devices, including the highly anticipated next-generation Galaxy Ring. Despite the relatively high manufacturing costs of all-solid-state batteries and the current lower-than-expected market sales of the Galaxy Ring, Samsung remains committed to promoting the commercialization of this innovative technology, aiming to bring safer and more efficient energy solutions to future wearable devices.

Samsung has already made significant progress in the research and development of all-solid-state battery technology. As early as last year, the company successfully developed small all-solid-state batteries with an energy density of 200Wh/L. This year, Samsung plans to further improve this performance metric, aiming to increase the energy density to 360Wh/L. According to current plans, Samsung is expected to first adopt this new type of battery in the Galaxy Ring 2, which is expected to launch later this year. This will undoubtedly bring longer battery life and more stable performance to the smart ring.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has developed a detailed roadmap for the application of all-solid-state batteries, outlining a timeline for the application of this technology to different wearable devices. According to the plan, prototypes of all-solid-state batteries are expected to be applied to the Galaxy Ring in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a solid step towards the commercialization of this technology. Subsequently, in the fourth quarter of 2026, all-solid-state batteries are expected to be applied to true wireless earphones (TWS), bringing users longer-lasting music enjoyment and more stable call experience. By the fourth quarter of 2027, smartwatches are also expected to be equipped with this new type of battery, enabling longer battery life and richer functionality.

All-solid-state batteries, as an important development direction of next-generation battery technology, have many significant advantages compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. The core difference lies in the fact that all-solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes to replace traditional liquid electrolytes. This change brings higher safety because solid electrolytes are non-flammable and non-explosive, greatly reducing the risk of battery fires. In addition, all-solid-state batteries also have higher energy density, which means that they can store more power in the same volume, thus providing longer battery life for devices.

However, despite the many advantages of all-solid-state batteries, their high manufacturing cost remains a major challenge for Samsung in promoting this technology. Currently, the production process of all-solid-state batteries is relatively complex, and the material costs are also high, which leads to a much higher manufacturing cost than traditional lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, how to reduce manufacturing costs and achieve large-scale mass production of all-solid-state batteries is a key issue that Samsung needs to focus on.

Although current Galaxy Ring market sales may have some impact on the supply of all-solid-state batteries, Samsung remains optimistic about the prospects of this technology. The company firmly believes that as technology continues to improve and production scales expand, the manufacturing costs of all-solid-state batteries will gradually decrease, thereby significantly increasing their competitiveness in the market.

According to Samsung's long-term plan, the company plans to produce all-solid-state batteries with an energy density of 400Wh/L by the end of 2026. If this goal can be successfully achieved, the next-generation Galaxy Buds are expected to use this new type of battery in the fourth quarter of 2026, bringing users a better audio experience. In addition, the Galaxy Watch is also expected to use all-solid-state batteries by the end of 2027, achieving longer battery life and more powerful functions.

The application of all-solid-state battery technology will undoubtedly bring a profound revolution to the wearable device field. It can not only improve the safety and battery life of devices, but also bring greater flexibility to the design of devices. With the continuous investment and research and development of technology giants such as Samsung, it is believed that all-solid-state battery technology will become more and more mature, and will be widely used in future wearable devices, bringing users a more convenient, efficient, and safe smart life experience. Samsung's active exploration and layout in the field of all-solid-state batteries also herald a new development opportunity for the wearable device industry. In the future, we have reason to expect that products such as the Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Buds, and Galaxy Watch equipped with all-solid-state batteries will achieve greater success in the market.

Samsung Electronics' continuous innovation in the field of wearable devices is not only reflected in hardware design and function optimization, but also in the active exploration and application of cutting-edge technologies. The research and application of all-solid-state battery technology is the latest example of Samsung in this field. Through continuous technological innovation, Samsung is committed to providing users with more excellent products and services, and leading the development trend of the wearable device industry.

The future development potential of all-solid-state battery technology is enormous, and its application prospects are also very broad. In addition to the wearable device field, all-solid-state batteries can also be used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other fields. As global requirements for environmental protection and energy efficiency become higher and higher, all-solid-state batteries are expected to become the mainstream battery technology in the future, making greater contributions to the sustainable development of human society.

Samsung's continued investment in the field of all-solid-state batteries will not only promote its own technological progress and product innovation, but also drive the development of the entire industrial chain. With the increasing maturity of all-solid-state battery technology, related material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and application vendors will usher in new development opportunities. Samsung's active exploration and layout will undoubtedly inject strong impetus into the vigorous development of the all-solid-state battery industry.

In summary, Samsung Electronics is actively promoting the research and application of all-solid-state battery technology, and plans to first apply it to its Galaxy wearable devices. Despite facing cost challenges and market uncertainties, Samsung remains committed to promoting the commercialization of this innovative technology, aiming to bring safer and more efficient energy solutions to future wearable devices. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of production scale, it is believed that all-solid-state battery technology will become more and more mature, and will be widely used in future wearable devices, bringing users a more convenient, efficient, and safe smart life experience. Samsung's active exploration and layout in the field of all-solid-state batteries also herald a new development opportunity for the wearable device industry.
