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

Details about the Samsung Galaxy Ring continue to slowly drip out, and a new 
report backs up what we've previously heard about a full launch date, as well 
as suggesting when we might actually be able to go and buy this wearable. 

This report comes from The Elec (via @Tech_Reve ), and says that mass 
production of the smart ring will begin in May. A full unveiling is then 
scheduled for July (most likely at another Unpacked event), before the device 
goes on sale sometime in August. 

We've already seen rumors that July would be the month that the Galaxy Ring 
would be launched fully. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Z 
Flip 5 were introduced at an Unpacked event in July 2023, and the thinking is 
that the same will happen this year  with a new smart ring and new 
smartwatches on show, too. 

As far as we can tell though, this is the first time someone has mentioned 
the Galaxy Ring going on sale in August. It was teased back in January, and 
we got some hands-on time with a prototype at the MWC 2024 expo at the end of 
February. Sizes and features We got our first look at the Galaxy Ring in

We're relying on the magic of Google Translate here, but The Elec's sources 
say that 400,000 units of the Galaxy Ring are being produced for starters, 
and that production will be adjusted depending on the market response. 

There will be up to nine sizes of the smart ring apparently, which backs up 
what we've already heard , and it's said to focus on "wellness" rather than 
offering any kind of medical device functionality like blood pressure 
readings  though that might come later. 

Battery life is going to be up to nine days, according to a Samsung exec , 
and Samsung has already told us that it will be available to buy at some 
point this year. Pricing will be crucial to the success of the wearable, and 
as yet we haven't heard anything on that. 

Samsung's new device has reinvigorated interest in the product category, and 
there are now other smart rings on the way to take on the likes of Oura . The 
big unknown is whether or not Apple will launch a smart ring too, as has been 
rumored . You might also like The Galaxy Ring won't work with iPhones Smart
