The South Korean tech giant, Samsung, officially unveiled the groundbreaking Samsung Galaxy Ring at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris on July 10th, 2024. While the release date for India is yet to be announced, pre-booking for the Samsung Galaxy Ring is now available in India for a token amount of Rs. 1999. Let’s delve into the impressive features of the Samsung Galaxy Ring before its much-anticipated release in India.

Enhanced with Galaxy AI, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is designed for everyday use, featuring an IP68 water resistance rating and a concave design to minimize scratches. It is available in nine different sizes, ranging from size 5 to 13, and comes in three colours: Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Gold.

The Galaxy Ring is a health-tracking wearable device that uses Galaxy AI to monitor metrics such as heart rate, sleep patterns, and distance covered. Unlike its competitors in the market, it does not require a subscription to use, and it can last up to seven days on a full charge.

In the Galaxy Ring, we’ve got three high-tech sensors, each dedicated to tracking different metrics.

Optical Bio-signal Sensor: It monitors your heart health with its improved heart rate tracking. The Galaxy AI filters out the user’s body movement to provide an accurate rating.


Accelerometer: This sensor is used to track the user’s walking and running activities.


Skin Temperature Sensor: It is used to monitor changes in skin temperature while sleeping.

All health insights tracked by the Galaxy Ring will be available for viewing on your phone through the Samsung Health app. The Galaxy AI calculates your physical readiness for the day based on yesterday’s sleep, heart rate, and activities, providing an energy score every day. Additionally, it offers personalized wellness tips to help you improve each day. The device seamlessly connects with other Galaxy devices and allows you to snap a photo or dismiss an alarm with just a pinch of your fingers, all the health data will also be transferred and stored in the Samsung cloud connected to your account which makes it easier to access and manage the data.

The price for the Samsung Galaxy ring has not been announced in India yet. Pre-booking is available until the 15th of October, indicating that it should be released on October 16th or later. When ordering, there is an option to ship the sizing kit before confirming the ring size, which is convenient if you’re unsure of your ring size.

The new Ring Car Cam, which will be available later this year, adopts a novel strategy for the company by taking its security features to the road. A set of HD cameras are housed inside the modern design that sits on the dashboard and faces both into and out of the vehicle.

The night vision-enhanced wide-angle lenses encompass the road and the interior of the vehicle to guard against both accidents and break-ins. Ring adds its customary software to the hardware to enhance the Car Cam interaction.

Real-time notifications are powered by motion alerts, and a live view function that works well with two-way chat is also included.

Not to mention that the entire setup is Alexa-compatible, so one can ask the voice assistant to automatically record film to capture anything—including anything one has just passed on the road.

While driving, video can be automatically or manually recorded. If users purchase a Ring Protect Go plan, which includes LTE connectivity and costs $6 per month or $60 per year, they can access a live feed from the camera while they’re not in the car.

Additionally, the subscription includes 180 days of cloud storage for videos as well as real-time incident alerts in the Ring app. When the camera is linked to Wi-Fi, such as when parked in the driveway or via the hotspot on the phone, it can access local storage.

When the camera is linked to Wi-Fi, such as when parked in the driveway or via the hotspot on your phone, it can access local storage. When using the Traffic Stop feature of the Ring Car Cam, users can instantly begin recording during a stop or after an accident, for example, by saying “Alexa, record.”

The OBD-II port on the vehicle serves as the device’s power source. The cable is neatly secured between the windscreen and the dashboard with the aid of a tool that attaches to the windscreen.

For watching both recorded and live video from its two cameras, the camera integrates with the Ring app. For two-way communication from the automobile or to get in touch with others who are in the car, one may also utilize the built-in microphone and speaker.
