Samsung continues to expand its product family. In this regard, the company introduced its new products at MWC 2024 held in Barcelona. However, the new products from the Korean tech giant deviate a bit from the categories we are accustomed to. Focusing on wearable technologies, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Ring for health tracking, a headset named XR as a competitor to Apple Vision Pro, and a wearable robot called Botfit designed to assist those experiencing difficulty walking at the Mobile World Congress. Here are the details…

Samsung Galaxy Ring, XR Headset, and Botfit Robot

Samsung is undoubtedly one of the world’s most innovative technology manufacturers. The tech giant competes not only in a specific field but also in every conceivable product category. The latest addition to their lineup is a range of innovative products in the field of wearable technology. Among them, undoubtedly the most intriguing is Botfit, a wearable robot designed to assist those with difficulty walking.

Samsung Botfit Walking Assistant

Botfit is a robot that helps improve the user’s mobility and supports their activities. It is primarily designed for individuals experiencing difficulty walking due to reasons such as neurological diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, or aging. Samsung aims to enable people in these and similar categories to lead a more comfortable and independent life.

The product development stage for Botfit has been completed, and it is expected to enter mass production in the second or third quarter of this year, with a release anticipated in the last quarter of the year or early 2025. Initially, it is planned to produce fewer than 100,000 units.

Galaxy Ring

One of Samsung’s other surprises is the eagerly awaited Galaxy Ring. Thanks to the tech giant, faces that have been accessories or symbols of loyalty for many of us are now smart. The fundamental goal of the Galaxy Ring is to track sleep and health data. According to the company’s statement, the ring will offer up to 9 days of usage on a single charge and is resistant to water and dust with its IP68 certification.

Of course, one of the most functional aspects, like other wearable smart devices, is notifications. The Galaxy Ring will notify you of incoming calls, messages, and notifications with vibrations. Although it’s uncertain if everyone wants a vibration on their finger every time they receive an email, we are sure it’s important for some. Additionally, it will have functions such as music control, presentation control, and interaction with voice assistants. The price of the Galaxy Ring has not been officially announced yet, but it is expected to be released in the fall.

Samsung Galaxy XR

Apple recently made a significant impact worldwide with its Vision Pro, which it launched a short while ago. People in many countries, including the United States, can be seen everywhere with this Mixed Reality headset. Of course, Samsung didn’t hesitate to respond, showcasing a headset named XR at MWC 2024.

The product was developed in collaboration with Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm. Although we may not know all the details, we can say that it will come with a micro OLED display and, in addition to 8 cameras, will feature a ToF sensor. Like the Vision Pro, it can be controlled through eye movements, voice commands, or hand gestures. There is no official price information available yet, but it is expected to be unveiled towards the end of the year and released in 2025.
