Samsung is set to revolutionize the wearable market with a new electronic companion that will be worn on fingers instead of wrists.
After two announcements, Samsung has finally confirmed the launch date for its smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, at the next big Unpacked event scheduled for 19 July in Paris.
Here’s what we know so far about the Galaxy Ring, which aims to compete with the Oura Ring’s patent monopoly.
When will the Samsung Galaxy Ring be released?
Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Ring will be unveiled at the next Unpacked event on 19 July in Paris. The event is expected to showcase a range of new products, including the Galaxy Ring. Details on the release date, pricing, and specifications are expected to be revealed during the event.
Samsung has teased, “Prepare to discover the power of Galaxy AI, now infused into the latest Galaxy Z series and the entire Galaxy ecosystem.”

How much will the Samsung Galaxy Ring cost?
There is no information available on the pricing of the Galaxy Ring yet. However, similar smart rings like the Oura Ring 3 retail for around $299 (approximately £250) with additional costs for different materials and monthly subscriptions for premium features.
Given the competitive market, Samsung is expected to price the Galaxy Ring competitively, possibly lower than the current going rate.
What features will be in the Samsung Galaxy Ring?
The Galaxy Ring will be available in nine sizes and three colors: black, gold, and silver. It will feature a range of sensors that relay information to a smartphone app for health monitoring.
The Ring will focus on health monitoring, offering insights and data to users for better wellness management.
Features may include sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, SpO2, skin temperature monitoring, NFC for contactless payments, and possibly blood sugar monitoring in future models.
The Galaxy Ring is expected to have a battery life of five to nine days, depending on the size, and may come with a charging case for on-the-go charging.
