Samsung Galaxy Ring hands-on

10 July 2024
Great hardware with a focus on sleep tracking but with a steep asking price.

Sort by:

I would be cooler if this was an "underring" - a transparently layered ring - that I can wear under my other ring. I don't have any interest in purchasing something as cheap looking as this.

      The pictures in this article seems to reflect or perceive to the reader that the Ring being tested is FAR too big for the wearer that's photographed.

        3 variables for any battery product:
        Capacity
        Charge time
        battery usage/health/time before drained.

        Funny your comment ONLY focuses on Charge Time and battery usage. NOT at ALL its capacity which has a VERY RELEVANT and DIRECT affect on how often or how QUICKLY or NOT the 100's have batteyr cycles will be used in ANY time frame.

            Ss, 11 Jul 2024What is the warranty policy and lifespan for this product t... moreSamsung is still supporting the Buds Live, even on third party platforms like Windows. That one is over four years old. It is obviously impossible to guess what the timeline is for this ring, as it's a new tech no one knows if it'll stick or flop, it could be a long time or it could be discontinued in a couple years. It should however be beyond any doubt that Samsung always commits to longer software support periods than any mobile competitor. Especially the ones from China.

              What is the warranty policy and lifespan for this product though? Like most wireless earbuds just like overprice e-waste when they barely survive after 1 year.

                presumably it will download heart rate data into google fit so you can assess the quality of your exercise against the WHO recommendations, but sadly, unless your carry your phone with you for it's GPS, and the samsung health app provides for it, you can't get a VO2 max value, severely limiting it's usefulness for overall health

                i'm sceptical of how useful, or accurate, sleeping data is

                    What is the warranty policy for this ring? If 6 months then it's just another e-waste ala the usual accesories that will probably end up in your drawer broken within 1 year.

                        If I only care about fitness tracking, this could be a better buy than the Galaxy Watch. I still can't fathom sleeping with the watch on my wrists. Also, I still need to use the phone to see all the data anyway.

                            At the gym, I always take off my rings; otherwise, it hurts my fingers when weight lifting. So I can't use a smart ring.

                                    So only monitoring health? Can monitor and trace husbands' and wives' whereabouts?

                                      It would be pretty damn cool if they could set up a snap gesture, so that you can snap your fingers to trigger an action.

                                      Just imagine launching an app or making a phone call with a mere thanos snap.

                                        If you want a useful ring, look up NFC Ring. It never needs a charge and it can unlock your phone, door, transfer information, or make payments. Best part: it's only £15
