Samsung unveils the Galaxy Ring as a way to 'simplify everyday wellness'

Samsung has finally shown off the Galaxy Ring in physical form at Mobile World Conference (MWC 2024) and revealed some additional details. The device is of course centered around health and wellness and will come in three colors, platinum silver, gold and ceramic black. It's set to go on sale later this year.

Samsung's decision to introduce a smart ring into its family of products is intrinsically linked to its push to be a leader in digital health. Samsung Health now boasts 64 million monthly active users, Hon Pak, Samsung's vice president and head of the digital health team, said in a roundtable at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The Galaxy Ring will help inform a new metric Samsung is introducing to the Health app in the near future called My Vitality Score. It's based on a model from the University of Georgia that incorporates four factors: sleep, activity, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability.

The Vitality Score will be a feature of Samsung's Galaxy Watches too, coming first to the Watch 6 later this year - but will require a Galaxy S24-series phone to work. Ring owners will also be able to specify certain health goals and receive related updates and tips in the form of something called Booster Cards, which are also coming to the Galaxy Health app later this year.
