Samsung Galaxy Ring might come later this year in multiple finishes and sizes،
Just a week ago, Samsung revealed the latest Galaxy S24 series, which is now available for pre-order. While the new AI features of these flagship devices stole the show, the Korean tech giant still had a surprise in store. As the Unpacked event wrapped up, Samsung revealed its first smart ring – the Galaxy Ring. The event didn't reveal much about the Galaxy Ring, with Samsung only showing off a vibrating coil featuring a ring with a few visible sensors inside. Fortunately, recent reports provide more information. Analyst Avi Greengart claims to have had hands-on experience with the Galaxy Ring during Samsung's Unpacked 2024 event, as reported The edge.
Although details are scarce, it is expected that the Galaxy Ring will include features such as heart rate/SpO2 monitoring, sleep tracking, and workout tracking. It is also likely to sync data with Samsung Health. Samsung could position the Galaxy Ring as an accessory for the Galaxy Watch, offering more advanced and accurate health tracking.
Alternatively, it could follow the model of Amazfit's recently revealed Helio Ring: a smart ring that can work as a standalone tracker or pair with existing smartwatches.
2024 is shaping up to be the year of smart rings. Not only did Amazfit present its own Helio Ring at CES 2024, but the Finnish company Oura, leader in this still niche wearables market, is preparing to launch the fourth generation of its smart rings. Now that Samsung is set to introduce the Galaxy Ring later this year, it wouldn't be surprising if other major tech companies also join the smart ring trend.
