Samsung might be venturing into a whole new world with rumors of Galaxy Ring making waves on the web. According to THE ELEC, a Korean electronics industry media outlet, Samsung is said to be working on a smart ring device called Galaxy Ring. The rumors suggest that Japan’s company Meiko is in charge of developing the printed circuit boards (PCB) for these Galaxy rings.
Now, you might be wondering, what are these PCBs used for in wearable devices? PCBs play an important role in connecting various components and making the device work smoothly. In the case of wearable devices like the Galaxy Ring, they help collect data and make the device function effectively.
Although rumors say that Samsung has started the advanced development of the Galaxy Ring, the exact timing for its mass production remains uncertain. In the industry, “advanced development” can mean two things – one is to materialize the product concept, and the other is the stage before mass production.
So, this means that Samsung will probably work with partners like Meiko to develop the Galaxy Ring further, create a prototype, and then decide if, when, and how many they’ll produce based on the product’s potential.
Now, let’s talk about what this smart ring is all about
If rumors turn out to be true and Samsung proceeds with the production of the Galaxy Ring, it will likely offer similar functions, allowing users to track health data without the need of wearing a watch or phone. It would also not be surprising if Samsung solidifies its position as a leader in smart device production by creating a Galaxy Ring that becomes the one ring to rule them all.
