Samsung has officially revealed its Galaxy Ring smart ring at Mobile World Conference 2024. Initially teased during Samsung’s Unpacked event in January, the Galaxy Ring is a health and wellness-focused wearable designed to take on competitors like the Oura Ring.

Features and Design

While Samsung initially shared a few details about the Galaxy Ring, the company has now provided more information. The ring features a minimalist yet substantial design and will be available in platinum silver, gold, and ceramic black color options. 

According to TheVerge, the ring feels light when worn and comes in sizes 5 to 13, labeled S to XL inside. The battery size also varies depending on the ring size, ranging from 14.5mAh to 21.5mAh.

The Galaxy Ring will include a suite of sensors for tracking various health metrics. While Samsung has yet to reveal the Galaxy Ring’s full sensor suite, they are partnering with Natural Cycles for fertility tracking, mirroring a key feature of the Oura Ring.  

You can also expect the usual health features like sleep tracking, heart rate tracking, step counts, and breathing patterns. Samsung says users will also receive personalized health advice based on their sleep data. 

Another unique feature is Samsung’s “My Vitality Score,” designed to measure alertness and provide insights into the wearer’s overall readiness. Feedback will come through “Booster Cards” with science-based tips incorporating sleep and other health data.

Availability, Pricing, and Compatibility

The Galaxy Ring will integrate with the existing Samsung Health ecosystem, including Galaxy Watch devices. While exact pricing remains unknown, the ring is scheduled for release later this year.  

Initially, the Galaxy Ring will be compatible exclusively with Samsung Galaxy smartphones. However, Samsung plans to expand compatibility to other Android devices and potentially iOS devices in the future.
