Last month we got confirmation fromSamsungthat theSamsung Galaxy Ringwas real and on the way, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about it, including its launch date. Now a new report suggests we can expect to see a full unveiling in July.
The report comes fromET News(viaAndroid Authority), which says July is the month when Samsung is planning another Unpacked launch event, and that the Galaxy Ring is going to be one of the devices that gets shown off.
The wearable will apparently be able to measure blood flow (for stats such as heart rate), and come with electrocardiogram functions too – the tech that’s useful for detecting various cardiovascular issues, including atrial fibrillation.
One other tidbit from the report is that there are apparently going to be around eight different sizes of the Galaxy Ring to choose from. That backs up what we’dpreviously heardfrom someone who says they’ve seen the smart ring in person.
A gadget bonanza
Considering what we saw at theJuly 2023 Unpackedevent, it’s reasonable to assume that this year’s event will also see the unveiling of theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, and quite probably theSamsung Galaxy Watch 7as well.
That would be quite a busy show then – and those are all important devices for Samsung, as is the new Galaxy Ring. If you’re planning to watch the event this year, you might want to set aside an hour or two, if Samsung gives all of these gadgets a proper introduction.
Samsung Head of Customer Experience Patrick Chomet hadpreviously told usthat the Galaxy Ring would be out at some point this year, and there havebeen other signsthat the wearable would be breaking cover in the not-too-distant future.
