On July 10, Samsung launched the smallest and most compact product within the Galaxy lineup, the Galaxy Ring. It offers several innovative health management functions along with an exciting way to control your phone using simple gestures. You can easily activate gesture features on your Galaxy Ring.
Samsung Galaxy Ring’s gesture feature lets you turn on an alarm or take a photo or video while the camera app is running by double-clicking your finger and thumb while wearing the ring.
How to activate gestures on Galaxy Ring :
To use the Galaxy Ring’s gesture controls, follow these steps:
- Open the Galaxy Wearable app on the smartphone connected to the Galaxy Ring.
- Navigate to the “Gestures” section within the Galaxy Ring’ Settings.
- Choose which functions you want to control with gestures. Options include dismissing an alarm or taking a photo or video.
After you have chosen your desired functions, you can start using them by performing a simple gesture. To dismiss an alarm or capture a photo or video, double-tap with your finger and thumb while wearing the Galaxy Ring. This gesture will start the selected function without needing to touch your phone.
If you have a Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Z Flip 6 model, you can start using these features. This feature will be extended to other Galaxy devices through future software updates.
Galaxy Ring
Samsung Galaxy Ring features a sleek design with dimensions of 7.0 mm x 2.6 mm, 24-hour-a-day health monitoring, long-lasting battery from 18mAh (Size 5) to 23.5mAh (Size 13), Galaxy AI features, and more.
Moreover, the Galaxy Ring provides comprehensive health insights and analysis via the Samsung Health app without any additional fees. It gives detailed metrics on sleep patterns, including movement, sleep latency, heart rate, and breathing rate during sleep. It also introduces Energy score and Wellness tips for daily health insights.
Samsung finally releases Galaxy Ring: Here’s all you need to know
Samsung Galaxy Ring is cheapest in South Korea followed by the US. The company’s first ring-type wearable is available for pre-order in six countries. Of these countries, Korea is the cheapest while the UK is the most expensive Galaxy Ring market.
Galaxy Ring pricing data gathered by AndroidAuthority shows that the product is the cheapest in South Korea. In US dollar terms, Samsung is selling the Galaxy Ring for $360, translated from the 499,400 Korean won retail price.
Samsung is selling the Galaxy Ring for $400 in the United States. The pricing decision makes it $40 more expensive than South Korea. It costs $412 (2,999 CNY) in China, $489 (440 EUR) in Germany and France, and $515 (399 GBP) in the UK.
As of now, the Korean tech giant is availing the Galaxy Ring in two Asian and three European countries alongside the United States. Notably, the US price in the below-mentioned chart doesn’t include sales tax, which could be approximately $40 or $45.
Samsung will put the Galaxy Ring on general sale on July 24, 2024. If you travel abroad, you will be able to save some money on your Ring purchase. However, your trip destination should be South Korea or China to have travel discount perks.
The general availability will commence the day after tomorrow. We expect US e-commerce platforms would bring some sharp discounts for local shoppers in the US. Amazon and Best Buy may put the Galaxy Ring on sale, bringing additional discounts.
Well, it would take time for Galaxy Ring to see any significant price reduction. It all depends on the popularity of the product and production volume. If the product becomes hit, forget about any severe cash discount for at least 6 months.
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is available in 9 different sizes. Pre-order your Ring to claim early buyer perks and faster delivery at your doorstep. You can also opt for a Sizing Kit, which will help you determine the perfect Ring size for yourself.
