Samsung has unveiled its highly-anticipated Galaxy Ring, at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona. The smart ring was first teased by the Korean giant at the Galaxy Unpacked event in January, where the company launched the Galaxy S24 series and introduced Galaxy AI.
One of the key highlights of the Galaxy Ring is its unique design, tailored to cater to a wide range of users. Available in US ring sizes 5 to 13, the ring will be marked with sizes ranging from S to XL on the inside, ensuring a comfortable fit for all. Samsung’s engineers have reportedly crafted a sleek, concave shape that tapers in the middle, distinguishing it from the conventional convex look of other smart rings like the Oura Ring.
Moreover, consumers will have the option to choose from three colours — ceramic black, platinum silver, and gold.
The Galaxy Ring boasts an array of features aimed at monitoring and improving users’ overall well-being. From tracking heart rate, breathing rate, sleep patterns, and night movements to detecting early signs of sleep apnea, this smart ring is designed to provide comprehensive insights into one’s health.
Samsung is positioning the Galaxy Ring as the perfect companion to its Galaxy Watch, promising seamless integration for higher quality 24/7 health and activity tracking.
Central to the Galaxy Ring experience is its unique Vitality score, a metric calculated based on a combination of daily activity, sleep quality, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. Users can set personalised well-being goals and receive real-time feedback on their progress through Booster Cards, accessible via the Samsung Health app.
While the Galaxy Ring is set to hit the market by the end of the year, Samsung has remained tight-lipped about its pricing strategy, leaving consumers eager to know more. However, one thing is certain — this innovative device is poised to redefine the way we approach health and fitness.
At launch, the Galaxy Ring will be exclusively compatible with Samsung Galaxy smartphones, with plans for expansion to other Android devices in the future. Attendees at the Mobile World Congress have the exclusive opportunity to try out the Galaxy Ring prototype firsthand.
