Without a doubt it will be one of the great attractions of the Unpacked event that will be held next July. In this not only will Samsung’s new folding phones be presented, but we will also learn about the Korean firm’s new generation wearables. This year there will not only be Galaxy Watch 7but the new Samsung Galaxy Ring is expected, which will become the brand’s first smart ring, and one of the first among large technology manufacturers.
Its price is leaked
During these months we have officially known the design of this ring, something that Samsung has taken care to show, and also some basic functions. But the technical specifications and price remain unknown. But now one of the most reputable leakers on the market has made his own prediction, revealing the price that this new device would have. And it may be a disappointment for some, but the truth is that what has been leaked now makes a lot of sense.
According to Yogesh Brar, the price of this Samsung Galaxy Ring would move in the range of 300 and 350 dollars. This would be in the United States, while in other countries or regions such as India the price would be about 387 euros to change, so it would be much higher. With this leaked price, I am personally inclined to think that this new ring would hit the market with a price of 399 euros.
This I would practically equate it with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 in its most equipped version. And therefore having both wearables could have a similar cost to that of the Apple Watch Ultra. And Samsung is insisting that this will not be a device that will replace the smartwatch, but will complement its operation. It is expected that this ring will have different sensors than those found in watches, with which it can analyze other aspects of our health.
The new ring is expected to have all those sensors that a smartwatch usually has, to analyze sleep quality, heart rate, or for example blood oxygen saturation. There are those who go further and also expect the electrocardiogram and NFC function to make payments. Now, the difference could be in a new capillary conductance sensor. Which basically could help us have improved and more detailed information about our moods or stress levels.
It is evident that Samsung must offer differentiating features in this device, if you don’t want to cannibalize the brand’s watch, which remains one of its most successful products. That being the case, and with this price, we are sure that the ring will be a great success for Samsung. At the moment its competition is scarce, with the Oura smart rings, and the first one from Amazfit just released. It has also been rumored that Apple is working on its own ring, although we do not know the launch plans, if any.
