The Galaxy Ring is expected to offer health and fitness tracking features through Samsung Health, similar to a Galaxy Watch. However, it might not be as feature-rich as the wrist wearable. For instance, the smart ring won’t have a display.
Earlier this year, Samsung announced that it was working on an AR/VR headset in partnership with Google and Qualcomm. The Galaxy Ring could be used as a controller to detect hand gestures for the XR headset. The company also apparently filed a patent for the same.
In July, Gizmochina reported that the Galaxy Ring was being developed in collaboration with domestic and international component manufacturers to ensure its success before potential mass production. Also, a Reddit user discovered that the Samsung Health beta app includes a "Feature List" mentioning "Ring Support." This indicates that Samsung might want to add support for smart rings made by other companies. Or the company might be planning to do both, release the Galaxy Ring and bring support for third-party rings on the Health platform.
