Samsung teased tech enthusiasts with a glimpse of its upcoming fitness marvel – the Galaxy Ring smart ring. Described as “powerful and affordable,” Samsung has kept details under wraps, revealing only a render and the device’s name.
Hints of the Galaxy Ring surfaced last year when Samsung filed a patent for a smart ring designed to offer ECG capabilities and smart home management. The Health app also hinted at its existence, leaving enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the official announcement.
Samsung’s head of customer experience, Patrick Chomet, shed light on the Galaxy Ring’s features in an interview with Techradar. Chomet hinted at the ring’s focus on sleep-related functionalities, stating, “We’re creating some things with Samsung Health that are really amazing (regarding sleep). There’s already hardware and software. But we’re looking to create a complete package that people will use at scale. That will happen later this year.”
Based on Chomet’s insights, it’s speculated that the Galaxy Ring will be fully revealed at the upcoming Unpacked event, anticipated between July and August. Samsung has also confirmed a significant Health program update later this year, aligning with the expected debut of the Galaxy Ring.
While Samsung may not be the first in the smart ring arena, with Oura already making strides, the Galaxy Ring is poised to match and potentially surpass capabilities. Oura’s third-generation Ring, launched in 2022, tracks sleep, monitors heart rate during workouts, and measures daily activity goals. With the advancement of AI, the Galaxy Ring is expected to introduce innovative features, promising an exciting leap forward in the world of wearable health technology. As anticipation builds, Samsung enthusiasts eagerly await the official unveiling of the Galaxy Ring, anticipating a game-changer in the fitness device market.
