Samsung’s foray into the smart ring market is gaining momentum. While details about the Galaxy Ring itself have been scarce, a recent APK teardown of the Samsung Health app sheds light on its potential health tracking features and it looks intriguing. This news comes just ahead of the anticipated launch on July 10 at the Galaxy Unpacked event, piquing the interest of wearable tech lovers.
The Galaxy Ring is expected to be a game-changer for those who prefer subtle approach to health monitoring compared to traditional smartwatches or fitness bands. According to an Android Authority report, the Samsung Health app will integrate seamlessly with the Galaxy Ring, allowing users to track their stress and heart rate. These metrics will be displayed within the app.
But the Galaxy Ring’s capabilities extend beyond basic monitoring. The ring is said to come with an innovative skin temperature sensor, allowing users to track potential fluctuations that might indicate illness. This feature could be useful for those concerned about monitoring their health proactively. Additionally, the app is expected to offer menstrual cycle prediction, a welcome addition for those seeking a convenient way to track their cycles.
While the Galaxy Ring offers a discreet solution for health monitoring, some features require additional support. For instance, snore detection, another reported feature, will require a smartphone in close proximity to function effectively. Another leaks suggest the Galaxy Ring case will deviate from the traditional watch box design. Early renders depict a sleek, flat case with a raised center section that presumably houses the ring itself. Another leak claims that there could be a wide range of colour options. Further, the Galaxy Ring is expected to support wireless charging eliminating the need for fiddly cables.
With the official launch date fast approaching, more details about the Galaxy Ring, including its final design, price point, and the full spectrum of its functionalities, are expected to surface soon.
