The Samsung Galaxy Ring is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year. From its design and specs to its price and more, here’s everything we know.
The smart ring market has been largely dominated by the Oura Ring, but that is set to change with the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The ring was first teased at Samsung’s Unpacked event in January and later at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February.
The Galaxy Ring is expected to be equipped with various health sensors to help users track their physical fitness and daily activities, all supported by Samsung Health. It is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, and here is everything we know about it to date.Samsung Galaxy Ring: release date
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Ring at its next Unpacked event, which takes place on July 10 in Paris, France. It is expected to be showcased alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphones.
Since Samsung has already teased the Galaxy Ring numerous times now, we suspect it to fully launch either at or shortly after the July 10 Unpacked.Samsung Galaxy Ring: price
Little is known about the pricing for the Galaxy Ring. At least one rumor, however, suggests Samsung isn’t planning on undercutting the price of two popular competitors. This suggests the Galaxy Ring will cost around $300 in the U.S., which is the same as the Oura Ring. Other smart rings, like the Ultrahuman Ring Air and RingConn Smart Ring, have similar prices — $349 and $279, respectively.
One area where Samsung could best Oura is that it may not have an attached subscription fee. As a reminder, the Oura Ring has a $6-per-month subscription. Samsung doesn’t currently have any subscriptions attached to its Galaxy Watches. Some rumors suggest the Galaxy Ring could change this, but we certainly hope that’s not the case.Samsung Galaxy Ring: design
Much more about Galaxy Ring’s design is known since some samples were displayed at MWC. Expect Samsung to sell models in at least three colors: black, silver, and gold, each with a glossy, reflective finish.
