There are rumors circulating that Samsung is in the process of developing a smart ring slated for a potential release in 2024. This tech giant, renowned for its innovation, is gearing up to unveil the Samsung Galaxy smart ring. This wearable device is generating excitement due to claims that it boasts superior accuracy compared to other health-tracking gadgets, such as smartwatches, and has the potential to eventually replace them.
Interestingly, Samsung has taken steps to secure trademarks for several names associated with this anticipated smart ring. Some of these trademarked names include Galaxy One, Galaxy Pulse, and Galaxy Rhythm. However, it’s worth noting that Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the impending arrival of this device. In the past, reports from GalaxyClub, a Dutch publication, revealed that Samsung had also trademarked names like Galaxy Index, Galaxy Insight, and Galaxy Circle for the same product.
Amid the flurry of speculation and reports surrounding Samsung’s inaugural foray into the world of smart rings, there’s a new tip indicating that the company might unveil this innovation at the 2024 Galaxy Unpacked event. This event, renowned for showcasing the latest in Samsung’s technology, is expected to introduce the Galaxy S24 series of smartphones. According to tipster Ice Universe, as relayed from Chinese sources on Weibo, the smart ring is poised to steal the spotlight at this event, which is likely to take place in January of next year. It’s even being speculated that this smart ring could potentially supplant the Galaxy Watch models as the go-to health-tracking device.
Previously, a filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) hinted at the existence of the rumored Galaxy Ring. This smart ring is said to have the capability to collect, evaluate, track, and transmit an array of health, fitness, and sleep-related data. Furthermore, it’s anticipated to monitor a range of biometric and physiological data, vital signs, and personal health records, thereby offering medical advice when deemed necessary. The incorporation of multiple sensors within the ring is expected to significantly enhance the accuracy of the health-related data it provides.
Earlier leaks even provided glimpses of potential designs for the Samsung Galaxy Ring, suggesting the possibility of a sleek metallic finish. Nevertheless, as of now, Samsung has yet to officially confirm or release any details regarding this intriguing product.
Meanwhile, Apple, Samsung’s rival, is also rumored to be in the process of developing a smart ring. According to reports, Apple has recently submitted a patent application titled “Ring Input Device With Pressure-Sensitive Input,” indicating potential groundbreaking features for a smart ring.
In contrast to previous Apple smart ring patents, this particular filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) delves into the inner workings of the ring-shaped device. It’s designed not only to provide tactile notification feedback but also to offer external controls.
