Samsung has been making strides in the development of a new wearable device geared towards health and fitness enthusiasts – the Galaxy Ring. However, it appears that this highly anticipated device won’t see the light of day this year. Renowned leaker Ice Universe has offered some intriguing insights, suggesting that the Galaxy Ring may make its debut during the Galaxy S24 launch event scheduled for January.
What’s particularly noteworthy is Samsung’s apparent enthusiasm for this new product line. Ice Universe hints that the Galaxy Ring could be one of the stars of the show, possibly overshadowing even the Galaxy S24 series itself.
Interestingly, Samsung is breaking from its tradition of hosting the Galaxy Unpacked event in February, aiming for an earlier January date in 2024. This shift suggests Samsung’s eagerness to unveil this exciting product. Notably, this isn’t the first time Samsung has chosen January for such an event.
According to Ice Universe, Samsung is ready to commence mass production, but regulatory approvals for health-tracking features are causing delays. The Galaxy Ring is expected to inherit some of the health-related capabilities seen in the Galaxy Watch, although not as comprehensive.
The Galaxy Ring’s smaller, less conspicuous form factor holds the promise of appealing to a broader audience. Particularly, it may cater to those who prefer not to wear a watch while sleeping but still want to monitor their sleep patterns, heart rate, and physical activities. Consequently, it’s likely that the Galaxy Ring will take center stage as it represents a significant evolution in the world of wearables.
