Health features
Take a look at the anticipated features
The Galaxy Ring will work seamlessly with Samsung's Health app, which will provide detailed insights into all the metrics.
The ring will offer skin temperature measurement, menstrual cycle prediction capabilities, stress and heart rate monitoring, and more.
The report also indicates that the wearable will include snore detection—accessible only when paired with a smartphone. It will allow the Samsung Health app to record snores and heavy breathing patterns.
Accessibility features like wireless payments are also expected to be included.
Design and battery
Galaxy Ring's design and battery life
The Galaxy Ring's case, leaked last month, is expected to resemble a jewelry box with flat edges and wireless charging support.
It will feature a raised circular section to hold the wearable in place and a charging indicator for battery status.
The ring will come in multiple sizes from five to 12, with battery size varying accordingly.
Reports suggest that it could offer between five to nine days of battery life.
Availability
Color options and weight distribution
The Galaxy Ring will come in gold, silver, and black variants.
Depending on the size, the smart ring is likely to weigh between 2.3g and 2.9g.
While many biomonitoring features are already present in the Galaxy Watch lineup, the introduction of the Galaxy Ring may provide a discreet option for monitoring health, appealing to those who prefer not to wear a smartwatch.
