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

The Samsung Galaxy Ring isnt expected to arrive until later this year, but a 
dedicated icon for the upcoming best smart ring contender is already visible 
in Samsungs Good Lock customization app. 

As spotted by Reddit user SpottedMe (via SamMobile ), the Galaxy Ring 
currently appears alongside the likes of the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds on 
Good Locks list of devices for which you can display battery status on a 
widget. 

Given that the Ring itself is not yet available to buy, its inclusion on this 
list is of little consequence right now, but it does suggest that Samsung has 
already provided its Good Lock app with the necessary updates to support 
Galaxy Ring widgets soon.

As for what we know about the Galaxy Ring so far, Samsung executive Patrick 
Chomet has confirmed to TechRadar that the device will offer some things with 
Samsung Health which are really impressive [with regards to] sleep. So, were 
all-but certain that itll offer sleep tracking functionality, in a similar 
fashion to the excellent Oura ring . 

Prior to the Rings unveiling at Galaxy Unpacked, Samsung also filed several 
trademark and patent applications for smart rings equipped with ECG and PPG 
sensors, so its safe to assume that the Galaxy Ring might be capable of 
measuring heart rate and detecting heartbeat irregularities. 

Rumors suggest that the Ring may house a SpO2 monitoring sensor, too  which 
would allow it to detect blood oxygen saturation  though we havent seen much 
concrete evidence for this feature just yet. Image 1 of 4 The Galaxy Ring was

We have, however, heard about the Rings potential weight and color options. A 
recent SamMobile report cites Avi Greengart as someone whos had hands-on time 
with a prototype version of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. According to Greengart 
(via Threads ), the device is incredibly lightweight and will be available in 
multiple sizes, going up to size 13 (22.2mm). Additionally, Greengart claims 
that the Galaxy Ring will be launched in three different finishes. 

In any case, Samsung has confirmed that a major update is coming to its 
Health app "later this year", so it would make sense for the Galaxy Ring to 
debut alongside these software changes. Perhaps well see it at the companys 
next Galaxy Unpacked event, which is tipped to take place in July or August.
