Samsung provided a glimpse of the upcoming Galaxy Ring, a smart ring featuring Samsung Health functionalities, during its Unpacked 2024 event, where the Galaxy S24 series smartphones were introduced. Referred to by Samsung as a "powerful and accessible" health and wellness device, the teaser showcases a ring equipped with internal sensors. However, specific details about the ring were not disclosed.
Last year, Samsung filed for a U.S. trademark for the 'Galaxy Ring,' and rumors from Korea suggest a planned release in 2024. According to the rumor, the ring is tailored to be compatible with XR devices and aims to enhance the accuracy of body information measurements compared to the Galaxy Watch.
Anticipated features include an array of sensors for collecting body and health data, accessible to users through a smartphone app for monitoring purposes.
The Galaxy Ring is expected to surpass smartwatches in terms of data accuracy, particularly for sleep and health-related information. Its snug fit on the finger is anticipated to reduce measurement errors compared to smartwatches worn loosely.
More details about the Galaxy Ring are anticipated to be revealed in the coming months.
