In early January of this year, Samsung surprised the consumer tech industry by unveiling its first-ever smart ring. Since then, many details about the Samsung Galaxy Ring have emerged – both confirmed and leaked and rumored. The South Korean brand’s wearable device is set to shake up the smart ring segment. Now the wait is officially over as the Galaxy Ring officially debuted today at the Unpacked event alongside the Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, and Watch 7 series.

Samsung Galaxy Ring boasts a grade 5 titanium coating. It has a concave shape with side edges that taper toward the middle. The ring is certified to the IP68 standard for protection against dust and water. It is also waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming.

The South Korean brand provides a free sizing kit with every order before confirming the final choice.
When it comes to health and fitness, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is equipped with a PPG optical heart rate sensor that provides vital data such as real-time heart rate abnormalities, as well as additional information such as beats per minute and respiratory rate.
