Samsung has finally unveiled its first smart wearable ring at the MWC 2024 Barcelona event, following months of teases at the Galaxy S24 launch event.
The Galaxy Ring’s features and specifications are revealed in the announcement, but neither the price nor the availability are yet mentioned.
Ring’s features
In addition to monitoring heart rate, sleep patterns, and nighttime movements, the Samsung Galaxy Ring can alert users to the early warning indicators of sleep apnea.
As an add-on to a Galaxy Watch, Samsung positions the Galaxy Ring to provide enhanced health and activity tracking throughout the day.
It tracks your heart rate variability, resting heart rate, daily activity, sleep patterns, and heart rate at rest. All of these metrics are combined to create a Vitality score.
Through Booster Cards available within the Samsung Health app, users can set personalized wellbeing goals and monitor their progress, giving them insightful feedback on their path to improved health.
Different Sizes
Sizes S through XL, or sizes 5 through 13 in the US, are offered for the wearable. Inside are labels denoting the sizes of these rings.
Design & Color
Samsung’s design features a smooth concave shape that tapers towards the centre, in contrast to the conventional convex appearance of the Oura Ring. Three colour options will be available for users to choose from: black, silver, and gold.
Compatibility
Although the Galaxy Ring can currently only be connected to Galaxy smartphones, Samsung intends to make it compatible with all Android phones in the near future. Details about availability and price should be made public as soon as possible.
