Oura Ring 5 Leak Hints at May 28 Launch on Top of Lighter Design, Optimized Battery, More

Back in March, an Oura Ring 5 leak hinted at new colors, a cool design, and even more advanced health-tracking upgrades ahead of next year's launch. Now, there's a new word about the popular smart ring.

A newly surfaced internal document has reportedly provided additional details regarding the device's release timeline and hardware improvements.

If the information proves accurate, Oura could soon unveil a more refined version of its smart ring while preserving the core health tracking experience that has made the product popular among users.

Report Points to Possible Launch and Shipping Dates

According to leaked internal materials shared online, the Oura Ring 5 could officially launch on May 28. The report also claims that pre-orders may begin immediately following the announcement, with shipping expected to start on June 4.

The newly leaked images reportedly align with previously circulated renders, showing both the smart ring and its charging case adopting a refreshed design language. The visual consistency between multiple reports has strengthened speculation surrounding the upcoming wearable.

Still, NotebookCheck reported that Oura has not yet officially confirmed any of the rumored launch information.

Smaller and Lighter Design May Improve Comfort

One of the most notable rumored upgrades focuses on the physical design of the device. Reports suggest that the Oura Ring 5 will feature a smaller and lighter construction intended to improve long-term comfort during daily wear.

Rather than introducing entirely new sensor technology, Oura is reportedly prioritizing refinements to existing systems. The wearable is expected to continue supporting many of the same health monitoring capabilities and subscription-based services currently available on previous models.

The emphasis appears to center on improving efficiency and usability rather than dramatically changing the core experience.

Battery and Sensor Optimization Expected

GSMArena reported that the leaked information also points to improvements in battery efficiency and sensor performance.

Based on the information, Oura has optimized its sensors to deliver more accurate health insights while reducing overall power consumption.

Battery enhancements may also improve day-to-day convenience. The updated charging case is rumored to support up to four full ring recharges before requiring additional power.

Pricing information remains unavailable, meaning consumers may need to wait for an official announcement before learning the cost of the Oura Ring 5.

Oura partnered with Dexcom in 2024 to incorporate Dexcom glucose biosensors into the wearable and its dedicated app.
