While details are scarce, it is anticipated that the Galaxy Ring will include features like heart rate/SpO2 monitoring, sleep tracking, and workout tracking. It is also likely to sync data with Samsung Health. Samsung might position the Galaxy Ring as an accessory for the Galaxy Watch, providing more advanced and accurate health tracking.
Alternatively, it could follow the model of the recently unveiled Amazfit’s Helio Ring: a smart ring that can function as a standalone tracker or pair with existing smartwatches.
2024 shapes up to be the year of the smart rings. Not only Amazfit introduced its own Helio Ring during CES 2024, but the Finish company, Oura, a leader in this still niche wearable market, is gearing up to launch the fourth generation of its smart rings. Now, with Samsung set to introduce the Galaxy Ring later this year, it wouldn’t be surprising if other major tech companies also join the smart ring trend.
