Samsung Galaxy S24 event early next year promises to be a blockbuster, not only because the new Galaxy S24 smartphone will be unveiled, but a new product category will be showcased in front of the world. According to a post by a tipster, the South Korean brand could use the next Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2024 to reveal the first-ever Galaxy Ring in front of the world.

We still don’t know much about the product from Samsung but all signs have suggested that the smart ring definitely has a future, that too very soon. the company got a patent for a smart ring back in 2015, which means Samsung always aspired to have a product in this form.

The recent explosion in this segment means that Samsung could have strong grounds to explore the product category, and having a patent for the device and the name Galaxy Ring pretty much leads them to the finishing line.

The patent for the device explained that the smart ring will allow you to control smart home devices, dimming the lights, and other activities, simply by twisting the ring on your wrist.

The Galaxy Ring was spotted in the Samsung Health Beta app by a Reddit user earlier this year. And since the device has been mentioned in the Health platform, it is likely that Samsung could enhance the features of the rumoured Galaxy Ring and offer health-tracking on the device as well. The tipster claims that Samsung could bring the smart ring as the primary device for health tracking, pushing the Galaxy Watch lineup into the backdrop.

Samsung is unlikely to be the last tech giant to enter the smart ring market. Apple is heavily rumoured to be eyeing this space as well and could bring a product in the coming years. It goes without saying that the scope for a ring to be an effective health tracker is quite good, as you can wear it like a normal ring, without any screen to bother. But the alerts will be buzzing on the fingers, which would need some getting used to when the product becomes official.
