Samsung shared new details about the Galaxy Ring’s design and health-oriented features at MWC. The ring has a design made of platinum silver, ceramic black and gold materials. It comes in 9 different options from size 5 to 13 to fit different finger sizes.

For female users, the ring also tracks menstrual and fertility cycles. All health data will be synchronized with the Samsung Health app on the smartphone. Thus, tracking can be done through the application.
Although the hardware specifications of the ring are still unclear, the Galaxy Ring is rumored to be released in late July or early August.

The Galaxy Ring was developed as part of Samsung’s goal to create an integrated digital health platform. It will be interesting to see how a big player like Samsung is received in the smart ring market.
