The Samsung Galaxy Ring is in a bit of a launch limbo right now, because it officially exists, we've had a brief test time with it, and yet there's still a lot we don't know about the device, like how long it will last. between battery charges.
Speaking to FNNews (via 9to5Google), Samsung's Hon Pak said battery life is between five and nine days, depending on how you use it, although it's worth keeping in mind that the wearable is not yet available. finished.
That sounds comparable to the week you get with the Oura smart ring, one of Samsung's main competitors in this product category. You won't have to charge it every night, which is helpful for those sleep tracking capabilities.
Samsung little by little tells us more and more about its Galaxy Ring. A couple of days ago, for example, we heard that the company is working to make the device compatible with a wide range of Android phones, but it won't work with the iPhone out of the box.
Sleep and AI
The ring we spent time with at MWC 2024 earlier this week was a non-working prototype, which gives an idea of where Samsung is in terms of development. At least we have a good idea of what it looks like.
What Samsung has told us is quite a bit about what the Galaxy Ring is designed to do: track your sleep in a smarter and less intrusive way than a smartwatch, for example, and analyze statistics to assess physical and mental readiness.
Much of the legwork will be done by AI, and while the Galaxy Ring obviously doesn't have a screen of its own, everything syncs with the Samsung Health app on your phone (assuming you have an Android phone, of course).
Based on everything we've heard so far, our best guess is that the Galaxy Ring will launch in full sometime in July at an Unpacked event, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Samsung Galaxy Watch. 7.
