The Samsung Galaxy Ring is anticipated to debut at the company's second major Unpacked event this year. The smart ring was first hinted at in January during MWC 2024, but many details about it remained undisclosed. Recently, an FCC filing has shed light on some significant features of the wearable.
The FCC documents affirm Samsung’s previous statement about offering the Galaxy Ring in nine different sizes, ranging from size 5 to size 13. Notably, the battery capacity will differ depending on the ring size.
Battery Specifications
According to the filing, the smaller rings (sizes 5 to 7) will carry a 17 mAh battery, while sizes 8 to 11 will feature a slightly larger 18.5 mAh battery. The largest rings, sizes 12 and 13, will be equipped with a more substantial 22.5 mAh battery.
Samsung had earlier claimed a battery life of 5 to 9 days on a single charge. It is expected that larger rings will reach the higher end of this range due to their increased battery capacity.
Model Numbers and Connectivity
The FCC filing also disclosed the model numbers for each ring size:
- SM-Q505: Size 5
- SM-Q506: Size 6
- SM-Q507: Size 7
- SM-Q508: Size 8
- SM-Q509: Size 9
- SM-Q500: Size 10
- SM-Q501: Size 11
- SM-Q502: Size 12
- SM-Q503: Size 13
The ring will utilize Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) for phone connectivity. While the filing shows the wearable in Black, Samsung had teased gold and silver versions at MWC 2024, indicating these could be additional color options.
Charging Cradle
The FCC filing also includes a schematic for the Galaxy Ring's charging cradle. However, it remains uncertain whether different ring sizes will require distinct cradles.
