Oura Ring 5 slip on official website points to launch in months ahead
Oura may have accidentally given away more than it intended. A sizing video on its own checkout page briefly referred to “Oura Ring 5,” and that strengthens our view that the FCC filing we uncovered earlier this month is tied to Oura Ring 5 and a 2026 launch timeline.
The slip was spotted by a Reddit user during Oura’s sizing flow, where the official sizing video instructed buyers to place “Oura Ring 5” on their index finger. Not Ring 4, Ring 5. Oura later changed it back to the current Oura Ring 4 version.
Why this supports our FCC filing view
This is not some random supplier rumour or a vague certification clue. It is Oura’s own customer-facing sizing video, built for people getting ready to buy a ring. That is usually the sort of thing prepared much closer to launch.
When we covered the FCC filing, the main question was the name. The paperwork showed new Oura ring hardware in late-stage certification, with model OA13 for the ring and OA14 for the charger, but it did not actually mention “Oura Ring 5.” That left a small possibility it could be a redesigned version of the current Gen 4 device. That now looks much less likely.
Of course, the latest leak still does not make it certain that Gen 5 is about to launch. But it does make the late 2027 timeline some media outlets were pushing much harder to square with the evidence. The 180-day confidentiality request in the FCC paperwork, points to early September 2026 as the outer deadline for hidden materials such as internal photos and the user manual.
What to expect from Ring 5
Earlier images of the Gen 5 device shared by Android Headlines showed a ring that stays close to the current Oura look, but with a slightly more rounded outer profile.
The images also showed a new Deep Rose finish, which appears to replace the current Rose Gold option. Other finishes shown in the leak included Gold, Silver and Matte Black.
The inside of the ring also looked different in those images. That suggests Oura has changed the internal layout, although the leak did not confirm what sensors or features may be different.
The FCC filing adds one more concrete detail. It included an OA14 charger with a refreshed square dock, so the charging hardware also appears to be changing alongside the ring.
The timing is what makes this interesting. One stray Ring 5 mention in a sizing video could be brushed off, but it lands right after the FCC paperwork we found. That makes the next few months worth watching, because Oura now has more than one breadcrumb pointing in the same direction.
