Rumors about Samsung’s new smart ring have been swirling for months, but the South Korean company is still keeping quiet about its new project. The wearable device, Samsung’s first smart ring, is not expected to hit the market until 2023, as Samsung reportedly has much bigger plans for this health-focused product.
According to the latest Galaxy Wearable app, the wearable will indeed be called “Galaxy Ring”. After compiling the latest version of Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app, 9to5google found evidence of the product’s name, which was trademarked back in March.
Besides what appears to be the official name of the smart ring in the updated version of the Galaxy Wearable app, users on a Korean forum also found a sketch of the ring.
Finally, the app also confirms that the Galaxy Ring will be unveiled sometime in 2024. According to reliable leak source Ice Universe, the smart ring will be the star of Samsung’s next Unpacked event, suggesting that the South Korean company has high hopes for this particular product.
The first significant reports on the Samsung Galaxy Ring date back to July 2023, when TheElec reported that the smart device will use circuit boards manufactured by Japan’s Meiko.
The report states that when it comes to a new product, printed circuits are ordered first, followed by the components placed on top of them. However, nothing beyond that is known, at least as far as specifications are concerned.
What we do know is that Samsung’s Galaxy Ring will likely be a health-focused smart ring that will provide very precise measurements. The smart ring could easily complement a smartwatch, which usually does the same thing, because it should be more accurate due to the fact that it is more tightly connected to the wearer’s body.
