The Samsung Galaxy Ring was unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in February. However, it is still not available to the public. The South Korean tech giant is tipped to launch it globally at its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10. Ahead of the official launch, a report suggests that the smart ring could cost as much as the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic in France. This development comes days after it was reported that the Galaxy Ring could include health features such as skin temperature measurement and snoring detection.
Price of Samsung Galaxy ring (expected)
According to a report by Dealabs, the Samsung Galaxy Ring could be priced at EUR 449 (roughly Rs. 40,000) in France. If true, that would put it on par with the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm Bluetooth variant, which is priced similarly in the region. However, it is assumed to be available in India and the US at lower prices.
According to the tipster, it could cost Rs. 35,000 in India. On the other hand, the smart wearable could be priced between $300 to $350 (roughly Rs. 25,000 to 30,000) in the US.
A price like this would potentially mean that Samsung’s smart ring could become more expensive than some of the other smart rings in the market, such as the Oura Ring 3, which starts at $299 (roughly Rs. 25,000) and the Evie Ring, which costs $269 (roughly 22,000 rupees). This would also put it on par with the Ultrahuman Ring AIR, which is priced at $349 (roughly Rs. 29,000), though only the latter is available for purchase in the Indian market.
Features of Samsung Galaxy Ring (expected)
The Samsung Galaxy Ring reportedly brings several health-tracking features. This would include taking body temperature through the skin. Users will reportedly also be able to measure their stress and heart rate. The smart ring is speculated to work in tandem with the Samsung Health app to enable features such as snoring detection.
It is expected to be available in nine sizes, ranging from size 5-12, and in three colors: black, gold and silver. In terms of design, the Galaxy Ring is speculated to come in a jewelry box-shaped body with straight edges. The case itself could have a raised circular section in the middle with charging pins to hold the smart ring in place when plugged in. It could also reportedly have an LED indicator to show battery and charge status.
