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 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.
