Galaxy Ring, introduced by Samsung at the 2024 Mobile World Congress, seems to usher in a new era among smart rings. Although the battery life of the device was initially a matter of curiosity, Samsung clarified this mystery with its recent statements. Galaxy Ring, which is expected to provide 5 to 9 days of use on a single charge, will attract attention in the technology world.
As noted by South Korean news outlet Financial News, Samsung’s vice president of digital health, Dr. Hon Pak shared this information with members of the press during a briefing. Additionally, as Android Authority reported, citing TechM news, Samsung Electronics chief Roh Tae-moon said that the ring can be used for a maximum of nine days.
However, it is better not to fully trust Samsung’s battery life estimates yet. Although other smart rings on the market promise long battery life, this time can be significantly reduced when features such as continuous SpO2 monitoring are activated. It is not yet known how the Galaxy Ring will use sensors or whether users will be able to choose features such as continuous tracking.
Battery life may also depend on preferred ring size. As seen in smartwatches, smaller models often have shorter battery life because they cannot fit larger batteries inside. This may also be the case for Samsung’s Galaxy Ring, which comes in various sizes.
Still, for users tired of charging their smartwatches every day, up to nine days of runtime could be a big draw. In addition to being smaller and more discreet, smart rings also stand out because they do not have energy-consuming screens. The majority are passive trackers who only interact with phones to sync data.
In conclusion, if Samsung’s claims turn out to be true, this will be a great innovation. With the Galaxy Ring released and ready for reviews, we’ll see if Samsung delivers on these promises. For technology enthusiasts and users who want to monitor their health, Galaxy Ring can break new ground among smart rings.
