Samsung unveiled its latest product, the Galaxy Ring, a smart ring aiming to transform the tech accessory market, during the highly-anticipated July Galaxy Unpacked event. This presentation followed its earlier introduction at the Galaxy Unpacked event for the Galaxy S24, providing comprehensive information on its design, features, pricing, and release dates.
The Galaxy Ring’s battery lasts for seven days.
The Galaxy Ring comes in nine sizes from 5 to 13, providing a comfortable fit for everyone. It also offers three stylish color choices: Black Titanium, Silver Titanium, and Golden Titanium.
The battery capacity of the ring varies depending on its size. Sizes 5 to 7 come with a 17 mAh battery lasting 5 days, sizes 8 to 11 have an 18.5 mAh battery lasting up to 6 days, and sizes 12 and 13 feature a 22.5 mAh battery providing 7 days of use. The magnetic charger included has a 361 mAh internal battery and can be recharged via USB-C or compatible wireless bases.
Galaxy Ring is notable for its emphasis on monitoring health and wellness. It tracks physical activities, heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO2), skin temperature, menstrual cycle, and sleep. Weighing between 2.3 and 3 grams and lacking a screen, the ring is lightweight and unobtrusive for all-day and nighttime wear.
The Galaxy Ring provides useful functions like the “double touch” gesture for controlling alarms and the camera, in addition to health monitoring. Data is synced with the user’s Samsung Health account for analysis using AI tools. Samsung offers a free subscription by linking a Samsung account.
The Galaxy Ring, constructed from titanium, is durable and light, certified for use up to 100 meters deep and in various aquatic settings, with 10 ATM and IP68 certifications. Samsung guarantees that the ring has undergone testing in different water types, guaranteeing enhanced longevity.
