– Oura Ring 5 expected to launch May 28 with pre-orders opening the same day and delivery starting June 4.
– Design to be smaller and more comfortable, with unchanged core sensors and features from Oura Ring 4, focusing on optimization and power efficiency.
– Charging case supports four full charges, reducing need for extra chargers while traveling; subscription likely required for full feature use (about $5.99/month).
The successor to the Oura Ring 4 ($349 on Amazon) was already shown in March on pictures. Now a photo of an internal document has been published on Reddit that is said to reveal specific details about the launch. If this document is genuine, the Oura Ring 5 will be officially unveiled in exactly one week, i.e. on Thursday, May 28. Pre-orders are expected to open on the same day.
Launch schedule details
Delivery will begin on June 4. The document includes a photo of the ring and the charging case, both of which match the leak from March. The description suggests that the Oura Ring 5 is smaller and more comfortable than its predecessor, and offers the “same” health and subscription features as the Oura Ring 4. This at least suggests that no completely new sensors will be installed and that Oura will instead focus on optimizing the functionality of the existing sensors, for example to reduce power consumption or collect more accurate data.
What to expect sensorwise
The charging case can fully charge the Oura Ring 5 four times, so in many cases there is no need to bring an additional charger when traveling. A subscription is still likely to be required to use all the features, which currently costs $5.99 per month. If the Oura Ring 5 has the same sensors as the Oura Ring 4, the ring offers a heart rate and SpO2 sensor, a skin temperature sensor and an accelerometer, which means that sleep, stress, the female cycle and activities can be tracked, among other things.
Reddit rumor caveat
The post on Reddit suggests a cautious optimism about the launch timeline and features, but readers should consider that the information could be based on leaks or unverified documents. Until Oura confirms official specs, prices, and availability, readers should treat these details as speculative and await formal announcements or press materials.
