It took Oura (pictured above) to show the world that a ring is a health tracking form factor. Since then, there have been a handful of like-minded devices on the market, but none as big as Samsung have confirmed the technology by offering their own offerings.
The company concluded today’s Galaxy S24 Unpacked event by announcing the Samsung Galaxy Ring. Here is a summary of what is said about the product,
By bringing Samsung Health’s cutting-edge innovations to an all-new form factor, we’ve created a powerful and accessible health and wellness device here to reshape the future of health, as only Samsung can. Meet Galaxy Ring, powered by artificial intelligence technology that lets us connect, unleash our creativity, and build healthier habits in more meaningful ways. This is just the beginning and we can’t wait for you to try it yourself.
This is so. We know it’s a ring. We know it’s called the Galaxy Ring. We can intuit that it will tap into the existing Samsung Health app ecosystem, using a number of features that have been introduced in the Galaxy Watch line over the years. Of course, there are feature limitations due to the small size of the form factor, even though it’s a company. That’s probably good for Samsung, which will try to convince people to wear both devices to complement each other.
More information including release date, price and features will be coming soon.
