What features would make you buy the Samsung Galaxy Ring?

ivan.k · 2024-04-01T12:07:16-05:00

Smartphone innovation has slowed down significantly, making it more difficult for smartphone companies to release exciting new models. Maybe that’s why they explore new avenues with various accessories. The latest craze - smart rings, designed mainly to improve wellness and track health metrics. The concept is not anything new as we already have a few devices, most notably the Oura ring. However, Samsung is joining the competition later this year with its Galaxy Ring. First announced at the Galaxy Unpacked in January and then revealed at the MWC in February, the Galaxy Ring could be the one to push this concept to the mainstream. However, the path to success is built on killer features that are compelling enough for consumers to spend their hard-earned money on a new device. Samsung will focus on heart rate, blood oxygen levels and physical activity tracking, covering the very basics. However, the ring should also have the capacity to wirelessly control other devices and it should also support wireless payments. All this should connect to Samsung Health and provide a better picture about the users’ physical health. In a world of rather bulky smart watches, a small and elegant ring sounds like an amazing health tracking device. What would make it perfect, though? Is it an advanced sleep tracking feature? Maybe better workout tracking or some fancy way to control your phone through gestures or touch? Or for you having a payment feature on your finger is just enough. Share your dream features below.

I have Diabetes Type 2, Hyperglycemia &, Ketoacidosis... Anything that helps with that... Currently using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 & S24... Can't wait for this ring, so i can use it while charging my Watch. (Hard Fall Detection on Galaxy Watch 6 is amazing)

Neuralink? 😂 None.

I have a bad feeling it would get stuck on my lovely arthritic fingers, and the whole point of wearing these things is so you can forget your phone, or at least leave it behind. It doesn't notify you of anything? No haptics? The other side of this is, I didn't pay $1200+ to just put my phone away that I just spent a pretty penny on. I want to look at it, coo over it like a newly engaged woman (also not me).
