Samsung Galaxy Ring: Health Features Comparable to Smartwatches Revealed

Samsung is gearing up to launch its new foldables and Galaxy Ring at the Unpacked 2024 event in Paris on July 10. The smart ring made its debut at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. While specific details about the new gadget have not been revealed, Samsung has hinted that the Galaxy Ring will offer consumers extensive health and fitness information similar to a smartwatch.

A recent report suggests that Samsung's next small gadget will include multiple health tracking features like a temperature reader and a stress monitor. Android Authority has discovered some Galaxy Ring features hidden in the latest version of the Samsung Galaxy Health app.

According to the report, Galaxy Ring users will be able to measure their stress and heart rate. Additionally, for women, Samsung's smart ring can help them track period cycles and read skin temperature. In addition, the device can monitor the user's sleep and detect snoring. However, this will only be accessible when a smartphone is used as a companion. Most of these features of the upcoming Smart Ring are available on the Galaxy smartwatch series, but the Ring offers a more convenient way to monitor your health, especially for those who prefer not to wear a watch while sleeping or in general.

But what will it cost? Earlier, a report suggested that the Samsung Smart Ring could be as expensive as the Apple Watch.

Tipster Yogesh Brar claimed that Samsung's Smart Ring will be launched at a price of USD 300 to USD 350 (roughly Rs. 27,000). However, the device will be priced at Rs 35,000 in the Indian market. Additionally, according to the tipster, the South Korean tech giant will also have a USD 10 monthly subscription that is likely to offer various health programs and meal chart systems through the Samsung Health app.

Apart from the Galaxy Ring, the tech giant is expected to showcase a range of new devices including the next-gen Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Watch 7 series.
