The Galaxy Ring, is the smallest device in the Galaxy line-up to date. Despite its size, it’s packed with Samsung’s most advanced sensor technology and Galaxy AI capabilities, helping users keep tabs on their health by simply wearing it on their finger.
Samsung Newsroom unboxed the Galaxy Ring, designed to enhance both style and convenience in everyday life.
A Journey That Begins With Fine Packaging
The Galaxy Ring’s innovative form factor is reflected in its thoughtfully crafted packaging. Constructed in a clamshell design, the packaging resembles a jewelry box, thereby accentuating the wearable’s unique form. Opening the box unveils a transparent charging case with LED lighting — evoking the feeling of revealing a precious gem.
Consistent with the packaging, the charging case adopts a design similar to that of a jewelry box as well. Once opened, the charging case reveals the Galaxy Ring with its titanium frame and sleek curved body, subtly illuminated by LED lighting.
The Galaxy Ring is available in three colours — Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold — and comes in nine ring sizes from size 8 to 15. This range allows users to select the perfect combination of colour and fit, tailored to their personal style and size.
Sophisticated Design Offering Comfort All Week Long
To provide continuous support and help users stay on track with their health, the Galaxy Ring is equipped with a powerful battery that lasts up to seven days on a single charge. The battery level and charging status can be easily monitored through the LED lighting in the charging case.
The Galaxy Ring’s main appeal lies in its lightweight and comfortable fit. Weighing between 2.3 grams (size 5) and 3 grams (size 13), the device’s sleek, slim design creates an effortless wearing experience that is so comfortable users might forget they have anything on.
The Galaxy Ring is exceptionally durable, thanks to its concave design and Titanium Grade 5 finish that resists everyday scratches and wear. The device is also 10 ATM water resistant, allowing it to withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 metres. This means the Galaxy Ring can continue to monitor users’ health while they wash their hands, take a shower or engage in strenuous activities without worrying about damaging the device.
Advanced Sensors for Comprehensive Health Monitoring
The Galaxy Ring’s ability to deliver a comprehensive range of health information, from sleep quality to daily activities, is rooted in its advanced built-in sensors. With a skin temperature sensor, heart rate monitor sensor and accelerometer, the Galaxy Ring’s trio of state-of-the-art sensors encircle the user’s finger — meticulously tracking data that is subsequently analysed by Galaxy AI to provide personalised health insights. Users can access detailed health information and insights on the Samsung Health app.
Quick and Easy Pairing With Galaxy Smartphones
To use the Galaxy Ring, it must first be paired with a Galaxy smartphone. This process is very straightforward. When the case is opened, the device automatically enters pairing mode. Users can follow the instructions on their Galaxy smartphone to complete the connection.
To pair manually, place the Galaxy Ring in the case and press the multipurpose button for at least three seconds to activate pairing mode.
The Galaxy Ring can be worn on the finger once paired, and users can begin personalising and monitoring their health care right away.
For accurate data tracking, the device should be worn with the protruding line that indicates the sensor’s direction facing the palm. The Galaxy Ring can be worn on any finger, but it is recommended that users try the sizing kit5 rings for a day or more to find out which finger suits them best.
In addition to health management, the Galaxy Ring also offers a handy smartphone control feature with just a simple gesture of the fingers. When wearing the device, users can double pinch via Gestures to take a photo or turn off an alarm on a connected Galaxy smartphone.
The Galaxy Ring combines powerful performance and a sleek design for a refined and comfortable wearable experience. Reflecting Samsung’s commitment to advancing user convenience and health monitoring, the Galaxy Ring invites users to embark on a new journey towards healthier living. The Galaxy Ring is available at Samsung stores, online, the Samsung Shop App, as well as participating retailers and operators, at a recommended retail price of R7,999.
