Android Authority was present at a press meeting when Samsung’s vice president, Dr. Hon Pak, disclosed that the Galaxy Ring would have a “long” battery life. The CEO said that the market expects these kinds of devices to last more than a few days, although he did not give any specific figures. In addition, Samsung is aiming to maximize the battery life of the ring prior to its release.
It seems that the Galaxy Ring will also have modes that allow you to use all of its functions or increase the battery life. Samsung’s smart ring should last around the same amount of time as the well-known Oura Ring, which lasts between four and seven days on a charge.
Samsung also disclosed that the Galaxy Ring is equipped with “leading” sensors. Once more, no information was given on the sensors that will be included in the wearable. However, according to what Samsung stated during its media event, heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking with night movement are included in the bundle.
The Natural Cycles birth control software and Samsung have joined to provide fertility tracking for the Galaxy Ring. The Samsung Health app, which also gathers and evaluates health data from other Galaxy wearables, will sync all of the gathered health data.
Dr. Hon Pak reaffirmed in an editorial that was posted on Samsung’s Newsroom that the Galaxy Ring will be available for purchase later this year.
Samsung unveiled the new My Vitality Score feature for Samsung Health together with the Galaxy Ring. To provide individualized health insights, it will utilize your heart rate variability, activity level, sleep data, and heart rate. Before being available for additional Galaxy devices later this year, this feature will make its premiere on the Galaxy Watch 6 when coupled with a Samsung Galaxy S24.
