Samsung Galaxy Ring announced

After briefly teasing its smart ring at the Galaxy S24 Unpacked last month, Samsung has now officially announced the Galaxy Ring at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The device will be available in US ring sizes 5 - 13, which will be marked with S to XL on the inside of the ring, and in three colors - ceramic black, platinum silver, and gold. Samsung's ring features a concave shape that tapers in the middle instead of the convex look of the Oura Ring.

Galaxy Ring can track heart rate, breathing rate, sleep, and night movement, and even detect early signs of sleep apnea. Samsung is also promoting the Ring as a companion to the Galaxy Watch, allowing for an even better 24/7 health and activity tracking.

To that end, the Ring will calculate the wearer's Vitality score based on a combination of daily activity, sleep, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. Users can also set specific wellbeing goals and then receive feedback on their progress via Booster Cards in the Samsung Health app.

Samsung Galaxy Ring will be exclusively compatible with Samsung Galaxy smartphones at launch, with plans to expand to more Android devices later. The exact pricing and availability details have not yet been shared.
