30-7-2023 (SEOUL) Samsung is rumoured to be preparing a new smart wearable – a ring, possibly called Galaxy Ring. The untapped smart wearable market makes it sensible for Samsung to explore this new product. According to The Elec, the company has already finished the development process and will likely kickstart production next month. The Korean tech giant has reportedly secured its sourcing of the needed hardware and only needs to decide when to start mass production.
Although production is near, the release won’t happen until 2024. The Galaxy Ring has to go through various certification processes to obtain a “medical device” status, alongside standard regulatory processes. Similar to the Galaxy Watch series, which now offers not only ECG but also irregular heart rhythm tracking, the Galaxy Ring must meet these requirements to gain certifications.
These certifications can take several months, so the Galaxy Ring will likely hit the market sometime in 2024. Some speculate it could arrive just in time for the Galaxy S24 series announcement.
