Leaked images suggest the upcoming Oura Ring 5 will feature a refined, curvier design and new color options.

Key points

• Design updates: The ring is expected to have a rounder, more curved shape compared to previous models.
• New colors: A "deep rose" (bronze-toned) option will replace the current rose gold, while the matte black model will be rebranded as "stealth."
• Battery life: The device will likely maintain the current battery performance, offering five to eight days of use per charge.
• Potential new features: Oura’s recent acquisition of gesture-recognition startup Doublepoint suggests the new ring may eventually allow users to control devices or apps using hand movements.
• Timeline: The product is not expected to launch for at least another year.

While the hardware changes appear to be mostly cosmetic, the integration of gesture-control technology could significantly expand how users interact with their devices, keeping Oura competitive against rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
