The Samsung Galaxy ring is designed to measure skin temperature and other health features

The Samsung Galaxy Ring was unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in February as the company’s new wearable category. However, the South Korean tech giant has only shown a few glimpses of its smart ring so far, but that is expected to change soon. The long-awaited smart ring is expected to launch at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10 with a host of biomonitoring features. Ahead of launch, a teardown of the APK sheds light on a few of them, including skin temperature sensing, snoring detection, and more.

Samsung Galaxy Ring health features

According to a report by Android Authority, Samsung’s Health app is expected to support the health tracking features that come with the Galaxy Ring. Although these features are not available to the public, they are activated after removing the Samsung Health APK.

With the Galaxy Ring, users will reportedly be able to measure stress and heart rate. The Health app is also said to offer chart-based tracking of the aforementioned metrics. Furthermore, Samsung’s smart ring will allow temperature measurement through the skin and prediction of periods.

The report suggests that the Galaxy Ring could also bring snore detection, but this will only be available when the smartphone is used as a companion. Most of these biomonitoring features are already available with the Galaxy Watch line, but the arrival of the Galaxy Ring could offer a more subtle way to monitor one’s health for those who don’t want to wear a smartwatch.

Other features of Galaxy Ring

The Galaxy Ring’s case was reportedly leaked last month and could feature a jewelry box-like design with flat edges. It is said to have a raised circular section in the center that will hold the smart wearable in place, and may also have a charge indicator to show the ring’s battery status, along with a charging pin.

Although the case is shown in white, the report suggests that it could be available in multiple options. It is also assumed to support wireless charging. Another report indicates multiple size options, ranging from 5 to 12, and ring battery size may vary by size.
