Samsung Galaxy Ring’s Surprising Compatibility with iOS Devices
As the Samsung Galaxy Ring hit the market after its grand reveal at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, there has been much speculation about its compatibility. Initially believed to work exclusively with Galaxy smartphones, recent developments hint at a broader scope.
A Big “Ring” for All Android Users
According to a recent post by YouTuber M. Brandon Lee on X (formerly known as Twitter), the Samsung Galaxy Ring is not limited to Samsung devices. Lee’s video demonstrates the smart ring functioning smoothly with a Nothing smartphone, connected via the Galaxy Wearable app. This revelation suggests that other Android devices can also get in on the action, with just a bit of setup.
Lee’s Video Post:
There are some reviews out there claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Ring only works on a Samsung device, therefore it doesn't work on other Android devices.
All you have to do is install the Galaxy Wearable app, connect, and go through the setup process.
What’s in the Ring?
The Galaxy Ring is packed with features like energy score monitoring, sleep analysis, heart rate tracking, and other health settings. Users can also view detailed reports about their well-being and update the ring’s software through the Galaxy Wearable app. Additionally, a handy “Find My Ring” feature provides some extra peace of mind for those prone to misplacing their gadgets.
Ready for the Future with iOS
Even more exciting is the potential compatibility with iOS devices. Industry insider Avi Greengart hinted on X that while the Galaxy Ring won’t support iPhones at launch, future updates could bring it to Apple devices. This speculation is enough to pique the interest of iPhone users who are eager to join in on the wearable tech trend.
Health and Fitness in Focus
The Galaxy Ring is not just about cool tech, though — it’s designed with health and fitness front and center. Equipped with a PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensor, the ring can detect irregular heart rhythms. It pairs with the Samsung Health app to offer insights into everything from energy levels to overall wellness.
Some standout features include:
- Temperature Sensor: Monitors body temperature for additional health insights.
- Accelerometer: Tracks physical activity levels and movements.
- AI Integration: Samsung’s AI services help generate detailed health reports including Energy Score and Wellness Tips.
- Water Resistance: With an IP68 rating and 10 ATM certification, it can handle water exposure.
Getting the Perfect Fit
The Galaxy Ring comes in nine different sizes, from 5 to 13. Samsung even provides a sizing kit to ensure you get the perfect fit. Its durable titanium grade 5 build and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity mean it’s built to last. Depending on the size, the ring sports a battery capacity ranging from 18mAh to 23.5mAh.
