Samsung Corporation announced the development of a smart ring. This was reported by the publication The Verge.
At the Galaxy Unpacked event, company representatives showed a short teaser of the Galaxy Ring. The corporation said that the device in a new form factor will bring the capabilities of the Samsung Health platform “to a new level”: “We have created a powerful and affordable health and wellness device that can change the image of the future of health”.
Samsung did not reveal any details or share a release date for the device. The authors of the DC Rainmaker blog studied the announcement video and noticed that the ring has three touch sensors – probably to collect data on vital signs. They also discerned four copper pins in the video, which likely act as a physical interface.
