Presented in January and the subject of much speculation in recent months, the Samsung Galaxy Ring will soon be launched – despite not yet having an official date. According to the Digital Trends website, the ring should reach consumers in the late summer in the northern hemisphere, between the months of July and August.
The South Korean brand’s attempt is to enter the market with competitive prices compared to Oura Ring.
What is known about the ring
Samsung Galaxy Ring should come in at least three colors: black, silver and gold, all with a shiny and reflective finish. Their sizes range from 5 to 13.
The smart ring will offer “My Vitality Score,” which is supposed to be a summary of the user’s overall health based on metrics like sleep, activities, heart rate, and heart rate variability.
It is also expected to have sleep tracking information to help users understand their sleep quality and duration each night, as well as monitoring women’s menstrual cycles.
Samsung already confirmed in February that the smart ring’s battery will last between five and nine days.
Its launch should take place between the months of July and August. It will be presented alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphones.
The price of the Samsung Galaxy Ring is still unknown, however its direct competitor – the Oura Ring – has its current cheapest model available for US$299 currently in the United States.
Other competitors, such as the Ultrahuman Ring Air and the RingConn Smart Ring, are priced at US$349 and US$279 respectively. However, the Samsung ring is believed to cost around US$300.
