Samsung Is Expected to Launch Smart Wearable Galaxy Ring In 2024, Says Report
Tech giant Samsung is expected to launch its smart ring named 'Galaxy Ring' next year, reports have said.
San Francisco, July 31: Tech giant Samsung is expected to launch its smart ring named 'Galaxy Ring' next year, reports have said. The Galaxy Ring is being developed in collaboration with domestic and international component manufacturers to ensure its success before potential mass production, which could be decided as early as next month, reports Gizmochina, citing sources.
The smart ring's key feature is its ability to collect detailed body and health data through built-in sensors, which can then be seen on a connected smartphone.┬аSmartphones Coming in August 2023: From OnePlusOpen to Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 to Vivo V29 Series Launch, List of Major Phones Arriving Soon.
The ring can be adjusted according to the user's finger size to improve accuracy, thereby minimising any potential data mistakes caused by loose fittings. However, there are various difficulties that the tech giant must deal with during development.
Weak blood flow or excessively tight fitting might affect data accuracy. Even if mass production is approved, the certification procedure for medical device status is expected to take between 10 and 12 months, which could postpone the product's availability.┬аRedmi 12 5G Launching in India on August 1; HereтАЩs Everything You Can Expect from This New Smartphone.
"Samsung is considering integrating the 'Galaxy Ring' with XR (mixed reality) devices, leveraging its XR technology to track usersтАЩ head and hand movements using cameras and sensors, as demonstrated in patent applications," the report said.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, a Reddit user had found that the Samsung Health beta app, version 6.24.1.023, includes a тАЬFeature ListтАЭ that mentions тАЬRing Support.тАЭ
It is possible that тАЬRing SupportтАЭ was added in the Health beta app because the tech giant might want to add support for smart rings made by other companies. Or, the company might be planning to do both, release the Galaxy Ring and bring support for third-party rings on the Health platform.
