As we approach the Galaxy Ring announcement on July 10, some exciting details about the new fitness tracker have surfaced.
According to Android Authority’s APK teardown of Samsung Health, the Galaxy Ring will monitor heart rate and stress levels. It will also measure skin temperature and assist in tracking monthly periods.
A standout feature is its snore detection capability, which requires a nearby charging phone.
Despite these features not being new—modern Galaxy Watch models already offer them—it’s likely the Galaxy Ring will complement existing Galaxy Watch wearables, enhancing overall health and fitness tracking capabilities.
Anticipate the Galaxy Ring to be priced between $300-$350 or around PHP 21,000. There could also be a monthly subscription option for Samsung Health, likely under $10, offering additional features akin to Fitbit Premium.
