Samsung to Unveil Wearable Smart Ring at Mobile World Congress

Samsung Electronics Co. is planning to unveil its first wearable sensible ring as a part of its well being lineup on the Cellular World Congress in Barcelona.

The South Korean firm will publicly show the Galaxy Ring for the primary time after teasing it final month on the Galaxy S24 smartphone collection launch in California. The Galaxy Ring provides customers extra personalised and seamless experiences backed by advances in synthetic intelligence, Samsung mentioned in a press release Sunday.

Guests on the Cellular World Congress may also be capable to see new well being options on Galaxy Watch6 collection paired with the Galaxy S24, previous to public availability later this yr, Samsung mentioned. The Galaxy Ring’s official launch is anticipated later in 2024.

Well being monitoring is already a key promoting level of smartphones and watches, with Samsung, Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google utilizing such options to draw and retain clients.

Creating sensors for steady blood stress monitoring and glucose monitoring can be notably beneficial breakthroughs. Apple has been working for years on a glucose reader that wouldn’t require customers to prick their pores and skin for blood — a possible boon for tens of millions of diabetics.
