Samsung is reportedly working on Galaxy Ring wearable device
Samsung is actively working on its newest wearable device, known as the 'Galaxy Ring.' equipped with advanced health monitoring features, As per a report from The Elec in South Korea. Samsung had already trademarked the name 'Galaxy Ring' in March. To develop key components of the device, the company is partnering with Japan's Meiko, indicating its commitment to bringing this wearable technology to life.
The Galaxy Ring is anticipated to provide enhanced accuracy in measuring body information compared to the well-known Galaxy Watch. However, whether the Galaxy Ring will go into mass production and its exact release date are still pending confirmation.
The smart ring is crafted to be worn like a regular ring and will incorporate a range of sensors to gather body and health-related data. Users will be able to access this information through a smartphone app, enabling them to monitor their health and well-being conveniently.
As the development of the Galaxy Ring continues, the timeline for its mass production remains uncertain. Samsung and Meiko are likely to engage in preliminary development to create a prototype of the smart ring. The decision to proceed with mass production will be based on factors such as scalability and user feedback, allowing Samsung to assess the viability of the Galaxy Ring.
Anticipated to surpass smartwatches in data accuracy, particularly concerning sleep and health-related information, the Galaxy Ring's snug fit on the finger is expected to minimize measurement errors often seen in loosely worn smartwatches.
Moreover, Samsung Electronics is reportedly seeking a patent for a smart ring that can interface with extended reality (XR) devices, demonstrating the company's dedication to exploring and integrating cutting-edge technologies.
According to reports, Samsung Electronics has decided to delay the initial production of XR headsets, pushing it from the originally planned year-end schedule to approximately June of the following year. This decision comes as a result of Apple Vision Pro's adoption of superior OLED on Silicon display specifications, prompting Samsung to reevaluate its production timeline.
