The upcoming innovation focuses, predictably, on health. It will be available in three colors: silver, gold and black. All three have a smooth polished surface that looks almost mirror-like on the silver and gold models. The ring will go on sale later this year.

We have the first features

Samsung didn’t say much about the Galaxy Ring when it first showed off an image of the device at its Unpacked event in January. At the time, we only knew that this would be a health-focused device that would compete with similar product Oura and that it would have an array of sensors to track the body’s indicators.

Images from Samsung show that it is a thick, concave ring about the same size as Oura. The technology appears to consist of two distinct layers, which is no surprise considering the electronics hidden inside.

However, The Verge states that the ring turned out to be lighter than expected. Will be offered Available in sizes 5 to 13 (or S to XL). This means that we will get 9 sizes, not 8 as previously reported.

Battery size (and therefore time between charges) will vary depending on size. 14.5 to 21.5 milliamp-hours. Battery life is unknown, but the same Oura can run for up to seven days without recharging. You can expect approximately the same indicators.

Opportunities

• Samsung Vice President Dr. According to Hong Park’s blog post, the ring will track sleep based on heart rate, movement and breathing and then make recommendations to users based on this data.
• The company will also collect data from its partner Natural Cycles, which already tracks fertility on the Galaxy Watch and will track your menstrual cycle.
• Galaxy Ring will also introduce a new tool called My Vitality Score, which measures vitality and overall well-being so users can see if they’re at their best. The feedback will provide science-based recommendations based on sleep data and other information collected by the device.

Galaxy Ring will be part of the Samsung Health ecosystem and will be compatible with Galaxy Watch. This means you can use both devices simultaneously to track your health and get better quality data as a result. At the same time, the advantage of the ring that can be worn on the finger is that it is much less uncomfortable while sleeping.

We’ll have more information in the coming months, including the exact sensor lineup, price, and on-sale date. Galaxy Ring will only be compatible with Samsung Galaxy phonesHowever, the company plans to add support for other Android-based devices later. According to Pak, iOS compatibility has not yet been determined.
