The Oura Ring, despite its three-year anniversary, remains a valuable tool for health and fitness tracking due to its simple yet informative app. However, the impending release of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring poses a significant challenge, particularly if it avoids a subscription fee. The Oura Ring’s strengths lie in its elegant hardware, user-friendly interface, and data depth, but its growing feature set may impact its simplicity.
Samsung has taken legal action against the maker of the Oura Ring, accidentally revealing the release date of its upcoming Galaxy Ring. In a petition filed in a U.S. district court, Samsung stated that it plans to release the Galaxy Ring in the U.S. “in or around August.” The Galaxy Ring is expected to feature various health sensors and is anticipated to be priced at around $300. Samsung is also expected to unveil the Galaxy Ring at an Unpacked event in Paris on July 10th, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung is holding its next Unpacked event on July 10 in Paris, focusing on new foldable smartphones and wearables. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 are expected to be unveiled, with rumors of an updated Galaxy Watch 7 and a new Galaxy Ring also circulating. The event will be a significant marketing opportunity for Samsung as it coincides with the Summer Olympics.
Samsung is gearing up to introduce its next-generation wearable, the Galaxy Ring, which is expected to hit global markets in the upcoming months. While detailed specifications remain under wraps, recent reports have unveiled some intriguing details about the device.
According to a report by Galaxy Club in Dutch, the Galaxy Ring will be available in eight confirmed variants, each with a unique model number ranging from SM-Q500 to SM-Q509. Notably, two model numbers are missing, leaving room for speculation about potential additional sizes or a ninth variant.
The report suggests that these model numbers could correspond to US ring sizes starting from size 5 and potentially going up to size 13, indicating a wide range of sizing options to accommodate various user preferences.
Earlier this year, a tech analyst claimed to have experienced a Galaxy Ring prototype firsthand, revealing that the wearable will be available in multiple sizes, up to US size 13 or 22.2mm. Additionally, Samsung is expected to offer the Galaxy Ring in three distinct finishes, adding a touch of personalization for users.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Ring wearable device is set to arrive in global markets soon, and new details continue to leak out.

The device is also expected to come in three finishes and offer up to nine days of battery life on a single charge. Samsung has yet to reveal full specifications for the Galaxy Ring, but it is rumored to include health and sleep monitoring capabilities.
