Earlier this year, during the launch of the Galaxy S24, Samsung teased the Galaxy Ring for the first time. In the following weeks, the South Korean firm gave us a closer look at its first Galaxy Ring and revealed some of its features. It now looks like the Galaxy Ring could launch soon, as it has appeared in One UI.
The Galaxy Ring has appeared in Samsung’s stock Battery Widget. Once you add the widget to the home screen and go to its Settings menu, you can see the Galaxy Ring entry, along with entries for the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Fit, Galaxy Watch, and other devices. Since Samsung has added the Galaxy Ring to the Battery Widget already, we think that the company will launch its first smart ring in a few weeks or months.
The Galaxy Ring is very light and comes in various sizes and colors/finishes. It has a built-in heart rate sensor and sleep tracking. Whether or not it features SpO2 hasn’t been confirmed yet. It could last up to a week on a single charge and is very comfortable, making it an ideal choice to track sleep length and quality. You can watch our hands-on video of the Galaxy Ring in the video below.
It will likely not feature NFC-based payments, but there is no concrete information about it. It will likely feature Samsung Food integration for meal planning and recipes. Looking at its features, it could be priced lower than the Galaxy Watch 4 and probably similar to the Galaxy Fit. However, due to its compact nature, it could be priced higher than the Galaxy Fit. Samsung is reportedly planning to sell at least half a million Galaxy Ring units.
