Samsung unveiled the actual ‘Galaxy Ring’ at MWC24 (Mobile World Congress 24). We have released 9 sizes in 3 colors: black, gold, and silver, and the actual product is scheduled to be released within the year. The industry predicts that it will be introduced at an unpack event in the second half of this year.
We tried to provide functions for monitoring my health on the Galaxy Watch, but it was not easy to sleep while wearing a heavy and large watch. The Galaxy Ring emerged to solve this need for always-on wear.
You can use the Galaxy Ring to collect various health-related information such as sleep, heart rate, and movement. The collected information will be used to create My Vitality Score, which can be checked on the Galaxy Health app.
The appearance is simple with no decoration. Although it is quite thick, it weighs about the same as a regular ring. The various sensors inside come into contact with your fingers, but it is said to be less intrusive than you might think. Unlike the Galaxy Watch, which has multiple functions, it is expected to be a product that focuses on transmitting health-related information such as sleep information and oxygen saturation to the smartphone.
It weighs 2g and comes in sizes 5 to 13, with sizes listed from S to XL. It is said that it can be used without recharging for up to 9 days. There is no information about water resistance or dust resistance yet.
I'm curious what the difference will be with the 'Oura Ring', which entered the smart ring market first. Since it is a small circular shape, it may not be easy to make a difference in shape. I think the answer lies in understanding the information the user has collected and then suggesting what to do.
