New Delhi: Samsung Electronics has reportedly started advanced development of its smart ring called ‘Galaxy Ring’. Japanese firm Meiko is in charge of developing Galaxy Ring’s rigid and flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), which connect various electronic components, reports The Elec.
The smart ring is expected to feature a “better body information measurement accuracy” than the Galaxy Watch. However, it is still unclear if and when the Galaxy Ring will be mass produced.
A wearable device, a smart ring allows wearers to check their body and health information on a smartphone app, collected by multiple sensors attached to it. In terms of accuracy, smart rings can outperform smartwatches in providing sleep and health information.

Since the smart ring is worn according to the thickness of the wearer’s finger, mistakes caused by wearing the device loosely can be reduced.
“A smart ring may not be as much of an electronic device as a smartwatch, but if design elements are strengthened, the product’s performance will inevitably decrease,” the report said.
Also, the tech giant is applying for a patent for the Galaxy Ring that works with the Extended Reality (XR) device.
Ora is a popular smart ring company from Finland. Oura Smart Ring comes with built-in sensors, battery and Bluetooth function. It weighs 4 grams to 6 grams and can be used for up to 7 days on an 80-minute charge, reports said.
Other popular smart rings include the Maclear RingPay and the Circular Ring. Meanwhile, earlier this month, a Reddit user noticed that the Samsung Health beta app, version 6.24.1.023, includes a “feature list” that mentions “Ring support.”
