Samsung Galaxy Ring: design and features
Samsung Galaxy Ring in the Galaxy Wearables app
Samsung recently unveiled a new smart ring in a pre-MWC briefing, providing a sneak peek to people in attendance.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring weighs only just 2.3g (smallest size) and will come in ceramic black, platinum silver, and gold.
The size range is from 5 to 13. Battery capacity will vary depending on size, with capacities ranging from 14.5mAh to 21.5mAh. However, specifics about battery life remain undisclosed, leaving observers hopeful for at least a week of usage given the expectation of continuous day and night wear.
The smart ring will feature multiple sensors, some of which are not typically found in smartphones. These sensors will monitor heart rate, respiratory rate, night movement, and sleep latency to provide insights into overall sleep patterns.
While many of these functionalities are available in rival devices like the Oura Ring Gen 3, the Samsung Galaxy Ring aims to offer a compelling alternative.
