Samsung's smart ring launched last yearGalaxy RingIt was earlier confirmed that it will be launched in the Taiwan market, available in three colors: Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Gold, and 11 sizes. It is expected to be listed in mid-January this year, with a suggested retail price of NT$1.
To make it easier for consumers to choose and purchase, Samsung will also provide the Galaxy Ring Sizing Kit at all Samsung Smart Stores in Taiwan, allowing consumers to actually confirm which ring size is more suitable.
From the appearance, the Galaxy Ring is not much different from ordinary ring devices, and it is easier for users to continue wearing it during sleep. At the same time, it can record the user's body data through Samsung's sensor components and health-related technologies, and convert it into personal body "vitality points", allowing users to more easily understand their personal physical condition, and even allowing female wearers to track their personal physiological conditions.
Overall, Samsung hopes to allow users to track and record their physical condition at any time in a simpler way, but emphasizes that there will be no overlap or conflict with the product positioning of the existing Galaxy Watch series smart watches. Instead, it hopes to provide users with more options suitable for personal use.
The Galaxy Ring weighs only 2.3 grams to 3 grams, and its ring form makes it easier for users to wear. It also supports 10ATM water resistance and 59-grade titanium as the surface treatment. At the same time, the battery life can reach 7 days. It also has a charging storage box with a built-in LED light to indicate the charging status, which can be charged to 30% in 40 minutes.
In addition to continuously tracking users' personal health status through the Samsung Health service, Galaxy AI also continuously and more accurately measures body data. By analyzing changes in sleep status, physical activity, sleeping heart rate, etc., it can further provide users with health adjustment suggestions based on the measurement results. It can even help users analyze sleep quality and determine the menstrual cycle of female users by measuring skin temperature.
In addition, Galaxy Ring can also determine heart health status through heart rate measurement, including heart rate per minute, start and duration of beating, and can automatically detect running or walking exercise status. It can also provide daily reminders for users to move their bodies to help users develop exercise habits. It also supports two-finger pinch gestures to operate the phone's camera shutter function or turn off the alarm. In addition, the specific location of the Galaxy Ring can be confirmed through the phone's find function.
It should be noted that in the previous iFixit website disassembly reportPoint outLike other similar smart ring products, the lithium-ion battery used in Galaxy Ring also has a certain service life. Although the product life can theoretically be extended by replacing the battery, once such products are disassembled, they may be damaged and even become unusable.
On the other hand, relevant news revealed that Samsung has begun to accelerate the development of a new smart ring, which may be called "Galaxy Ring 2". It may be unveiled as early as July this year with the Galaxy Unpacked event in the second half of the year.
