Samsung is preparing to launch its new smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, in the US this August. Recently, an image of its charging case was leaked online by well-known tipster Ice Universe. The case has a stylish design resembling a fancy jewelry box.
The Galaxy Ring will offer health tracking features similar to Samsung’s wireless earphones and may support wireless charging, adding convenience like their earphone cases.
Early reports suggest impressive battery life, with Samsung claiming the ring can last up to 9 days on a single charge in their tests. Different ring sizes will likely have different battery capacities, but specifics on which size achieved the 9-day mark are not yet clear.
Samsung emphasizes that the Galaxy Ring will track important health metrics such as heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, movement, and sleep patterns. This data will provide users with insights and advice to improve their overall health and wellness. Additionally, an “Energy Score” feature will summarize the user’s health data into a single score.
Samsung is keeping some surprises about the Galaxy Ring’s capabilities under wraps for the Galaxy Unpacked event, where more details are expected to be unveiled.
The expected price for Samsung’s first smart ring is between $300 and $350. Samsung plans to reveal the Galaxy Ring along with other new products like the redesigned Galaxy Buds 3 series, Galaxy Watch 7 series, and the sixth-generation foldable at their upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
