Samsung Galaxy Ring: Reportedly, Samsung is developing an advanced wearable health-tracking device called the Galaxy Ring. According to the Korean media outlet The Elec, this intelligent smart ring is being developed in collaboration with domestic and international component manufacturers to assure its success prior to a potential August mass production decision.
Samsung Galaxy Ring is anticipated to debut in 2024
The primary function of the “Galaxy Ring” is to collect comprehensive body and health data using built-in sensors, which can then be presented on a smartphone in a convenient manner. This innovative smart ring is anticipated to provide even more precise body measurements than Samsung’s existing Galaxy Watch. To improve precision, the ring’s fit can be customised to the user’s finger measurement, thereby minimising data inaccuracies caused by loose fittings.
Nevertheless, Samsung must resolve certain obstacles during development. The veracity of data may be compromised by insufficient blood flow or a too-tight fit. In addition, the certification procedure for medical device status is anticipated to take between 10 and 12 months, which could delay the product’s availability even if mass production is authorised.
As demonstrated in patent applications, Samsung is contemplating integrating the “Galaxy Ring” with XR (mixed reality) devices, leveraging its XR technology to track users’ head and hand movements using cameras and sensors. The release of Samsung’s XR headset has purportedly been delayed by six months due to Apple Vision Pro. The release of the “Galaxy Ring” is anticipated for 2024, potentially coinciding with the announcement of the Galaxy S24 series. Noise and boAt have recently introduced their health-focused smart bracelets in India.
