FULL STORY
======================================================================

Even though the Galaxy S24 phones dominated Samsung's Unpacked launch event 
last week, we were also intrigued by the brief reveal of the Samsung Galaxy 
Ring at the end of the show  and some more details about the upcoming 
wearable are now leaking out. 

According to industry analyst Avi Greengart (via SamMobile ), who claims to 
have had some hands-on time with the smart ring, it is "ridiculously light". 
It shouldn't be a problem keeping this device on your finger around the 
clock, it sounds like. 

Greengart also says the Galaxy Ring is coming in "three finishes" and "sizes 
up to 13", which we're assuming is a reference to the US ring size 
measurement  an inside diameter of 0.874 inches or 22.20mm. 

The wearable is coming "later this year" Greengart says, which we would've 
expected, but there was no word from this source on the price: that's still 
"TBD". It's quite possible Samsung still hasn't decided how much this new 
piece of hardware is going to cost to buy. Coming soon 

Greengart goes on to say the ring is "aimed at tracking health, wellness, and 
sleep metrics", so this is very much a rival to existing smart rings such as 
the Oura . It sounds as though the Samsung Galaxy Ring will be able to track 
similar metrics to those logged by a smartwatch or a fitness tracker. 

These are some welcome extra details about the Galaxy Ring, because Samsung 
has told us very little so far. Samsung's Patrick Chomet did tell TechRadar 
that the hardware is "beautiful" and "ready"  but it won't actually be out 
until "a bit later in the year". 

The smart money would be on the Samsung Galaxy Ring launching around July 
time , as per previous rumors. That would put it at the same unveiling as the 
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 , which would make 
sense. 

We will of course bring you all the official announcements as they're made  
and in the meantime keep you up to date with any tidbits of information that 
slip out about the latest new product category Samsung is taking on. You
