Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Ring is expected to be unveiled on July 10th at their Unpacked event. While the company has revealed the design of the wearable, details on its health-tracking features are still limited.
However, an APK teardown of the latest Samsung Health app by Android Authority has shed some light on the Galaxy Ring’s features.
Unsurprisingly, basic health tracking will be a core function. Users will be able to monitor heart rate and stress levels and can view this data directly within the Samsung Health app which has dedicated interfaces for data visualization.
In addition to basic tracking, the Galaxy Ring will also offer more advanced health metrics. The app hints at features like skin temperature measurement and menstrual cycle prediction.
Interestingly, the Galaxy Ring will also be able to detect snores. However, similar to the Galaxy Watch, it seems that you will need a nearby, charging phone.
Snore tracking on the Galaxy Watch uses the phone’s microphone to record audio and timestamps for snoring and heavy breathing events. The Galaxy Ring is expected to work in a similar manner.
That’s it in terms of health-tracking features. So far, we know that the Galaxy Ring will come in nine different sizes, ranging from 5 to 13, with battery capacity varying by size.
Rings in sizes 5 to 7 will have a 17 mAh battery, sizes 8 to 11 will have an 18.5 mAh battery, and the largest sizes, 12 and 13, will feature a 22.5 mAh battery.
Speaking of size, a report from May revealed that if you’re unsure about the perfect fit, Samsung might send you a sizing kit before you finalize your order.
This kit likely includes sample rings in standard US sizes, allowing you to determine which one fits best. Once you’ve found your ideal size, you’ll need to confirm it on the order page before receiving an email confirmation and shipment of your Galaxy Ring.
