Samsung is set to launch its highly anticipated Galaxy Ring on July 10th at their Unpacked event. While the company has shared the design of this new wearable, details about its health-tracking capabilities remain scarce.
An APK teardown of the latest Samsung Health app by Android Authority has provided some insights into the Galaxy Ring’s functionalities.
Health Monitoring
As expected, basic health tracking will be a primary feature. Users will be able to keep an eye on their heart rate and stress levels, with all data accessible through the Samsung Health app, which offers dedicated interfaces for easy data visualization.
Beyond the basics, the Galaxy Ring will also provide more advanced health metrics. The app suggests features such as skin temperature measurement and menstrual cycle prediction.
Snore Detection
Interestingly, the Galaxy Ring will also have the ability to detect snores. Similar to the Galaxy Watch, it appears that a nearby, charging phone will be necessary for this feature.
Snore tracking on the Galaxy Watch utilizes the phone’s microphone to capture audio and timestamps for snoring and heavy breathing. The Galaxy Ring is expected to operate in a similar fashion.
Battery and Sizes
In terms of health-tracking features, that’s all we know so far. The Galaxy Ring will be available in nine different sizes, ranging from 5 to 13, with varying battery capacities depending on the size.
- Sizes 5 to 7: 17 mAh battery
- Sizes 8 to 11: 18.5 mAh battery
- Sizes 12 and 13: 22.5 mAh battery
Sizing Kit
If you're uncertain about your ring size, a report from May indicates that Samsung may send you a sizing kit before you finalize your order. This kit will likely include sample rings in standard US sizes, allowing you to determine the best fit. Once you’ve identified your ideal size, you’ll need to confirm it on the order page before receiving an email confirmation and the shipment of your Galaxy Ring.
