The extended battery life of smart rings is a standout feature compared to other wearables like smartwatches, mainly because the former lack screens. THE Galaxy Ring enters a somewhat niche market, facing only a handful of competitors such as Amazfit's Oura Ring and Helio Ring, which also offer similar extended battery life.

For example, the Oura Ring offers a promising 7 days of battery life on a single charge, setting the bar high in the smart ring arena. If the Galaxy Ring really lives up to its expected battery life of 9 days, it would outperform its competitors. However, as with any new device, real-world testing will be the ultimate judge of its battery performance.

Beyond its battery life, here's what we know about it Galaxy Ring so far: it will be available in three elegant finishes: silver, gold and black. In order to satisfy as many potential buyers as possible, the Galaxy Ring will offer a range of 9 different sizes, with the aim of maximizing compatibility and ensuring a perfect fit for each user.

THE Galaxy Ring will seamlessly integrate with other devices in the Galaxy ecosystem where it makes sense, like your phone or smartwatch. This connectivity will allow the ring to transmit data to your phone and improve certain features of the watch thanks to the additional sensors housed in the ring.
