Samsung would launch the Galaxy Ring this year, as previous rumors have already stated. The launch would take place in July, according to a new leak. The South Korean manufacturer confirmed the existence of the connected ring during the Galaxy S24 (test) event last January.
South Korean media ET News has assured that Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy Ring in July during its second Unpacked event.
This date would coincide in particular with the launch of the new generation of foldable smartphones from Samsung, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The source also revealed some key features of the Galaxy Ring, although some seem questionable. According to the media, the connected ring would be equipped with “blood flow measurement and electrocardiogram functions”.
Which implies that the connected ring could measure blood oxygen and heart rate, normally, these two actions are not possible in a device the size of a ring.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is said to support sleep tracking and wireless payment via NFC. It would be available in eight different sizes. Color options have not been revealed. In addition, the connected ring is announced as being “impressively light”.
The Galaxy Ring is still in the testing and prototyping phase. But, Samsung is expected to begin mass production in the second quarter or early April.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is Samsung's first connected ring. It will compete with the Oura Ring Horizon and the Ultrahuman Ring Air. Chinese manufacturers should also follow Samsung, like Oppo, whose connected ring project was revealed by a patent.
