Samsung Unveils Galaxy Ring and Aims for Smart Healthcare Platform
Samsung for increasing the enthusiasm among fans has already teased the Galaxy Ring at the Galaxy Unpacked event last month.
Samsung surprised Galaxy fans last month with the unexpected teasing of the Galaxy Ring. However, at that time, it did not reveal much more than just a splashy video and a name. Here, we are now discussing more about the upcoming ring.
As per the reports, it is speculated that a tipster gets a chance to spend time with a prototype ring ahead of the Mobile World Congress. The reports are saying that the upcoming Galaxy Rig will be very light in weight and have three shades for the choice, though the Korean brand’s focused attention on the final product is subject to change.
The three shades of Galaxy Ring will be:
- Platinum silver
- Ceramic black
- Gold
The Galaxy Ring weighs less than it looks and also does not feel as dense as it was expected. It has a little concave shape, and each color was offered in sizes from 5 to 13, which is a tiny wider range of options as compared to usual, along with sizes marked as S through XL within the band.
VP of Digital Health Dr. Hon Pak of Samsung did not particularly state exactly which sensors are housed in the ring but mentioned sleep insights based on heart rate, movement, and respiratory indicators. He also stated that the partnership of Samsung with Natural Cycles will extend to the Ring as well, just for direct competition with the Oura Ring. The battery power is also increased on the Galaxy Ring. It will also help in informing the new metric since Samsung is announcing the Health application in the upcoming time named My Vitality Score. It is based on a model from the University of Georgia that incorporates mainly four factors: activity, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. It is also expected that Vitality Score will also be a feature of Samsung Galaxy Watches, maybe in the next Galaxy Watch 6.
Galaxy Ring owners will also be able to specify particular health goals and receive related updates and tips in the form of Booster Cards, which are also coming to the Galaxy Health application by the end of this year.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 was launched back in February. This watch is built differently from the other Galaxy watchesto delicately fit a fitness band that is lightweight and suitable for tracking sleep, stress, heart rate, and activities like walking, running, and cycling. It doesn’t support other entertainment features like Galaxy watches. To ensure seamless functioning, the company has started rolling out new updates.

Samsung introduced its latest AI TV, Neo QLED 8K QN900D, coupled with advanced technologies for enhancing the viewing experience.
Samsung has powered the latest AI TV with its most efficient and powerful processor, the 8K NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor, as well as a neural processing unit (NPU) that runs twice as fast as its predecessor. This new AI TV features eight times as many neural networks—512 instead of 64. It analyzes and optimizes content in real-time, capable of delivering superior picture and sound quality and elevating the TV experience to one that places viewers at the center.
8K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro deliver high-end clarity by sharpening low-resolution content and minimizing ball distortion and blurring. Samsung adds Active Voice Amplifier Pro to distinguish between voice and background noise.
While watching any show on TV, the Object Tracking Sout (OTS) Pro, viewers are no longer spectators. The AI Optimization automatically fine-tunes the settings for the best viewing experience, and the AI Auto Game Mode helps to recognize game titles and genres and automatically optimizes settings for an upgraded experience.
AI Energy Mode conserves energy by using sensors to analyze ambient lighting before automatically adjusting the AI TV screen’s brightness. The Samsung Tizen OS changed the AI TV into more than an entertainment center.
Samsung’s AI TV continues to grow to do just that by pushing the frontier of audio as well as visual experience and upgrading sustainability while putting AI to work under the hood.
