Samsung introduced its newest product, Galaxy Ring. While smart rings have gained popularity in recent years, Samsung’s entry into this field is a great innovation. However, an important question arises for iPhone users: Does Galaxy Ring work with iPhone?
Galaxy Ring and iPhone compatibility
Unfortunately, iPhone users will not be able to use the Galaxy Ring. This is a disappointing decision, but not surprising. Apple and Samsung are companies that tend to stick to their own ecosystems. For example, an Apple Watch is best used only with an iPhone, and now the Galaxy Ring is designed to only work with Android phones.
Android compatibility
Galaxy Ring can be used with any Android phone, not just Samsung devices. This allows the smart ring to appeal to a wider user base. As long as you can download the Samsung Health app on your Android phone, you can use Galaxy Ring. However, some special features are limited to Samsung Galaxy phones only. For example, the pinch gesture used to control your phone’s camera or alarm only works on Samsung devices.
Galaxy Ring comes in three color options: Titanium Black (matte), Titanium Silver (matte) and Titanium Gold (shiny). The ring will be available in nine different sizes (from 5 to 13) and will be sold with a price tag of $400 (13,200 TL). Moreover, there is no subscription fee for Galaxy Ring.
If you are an iPhone user and want to try Galaxy Ring, unfortunately this product is not suitable for you. However, for Android users, this new smart ring offers many opportunities. Those disappointed with Galaxy Ring and iPhone compatibility may want to consider alternative smart rings. This new product from Samsung seems to have an important place in the smart ring market.
