One of the key things that left the Samsung Galaxy Ring lagging behind its biggest competitor, Oura, was that it didn't offer as many sizes. However, the tech giant is closing this gap.
Samsung has confirmed that it will be adding size 14 and 15 rings to its lineup, meaning more people will be able to use these wearables. New sizes will be available to purchase from Wednesday January 22, 2025 in the UK and US from the Galaxy Store and third-party retailers, and you can get them in all three colors: Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold. .
If you have larger fingers and the 13 fits well, this is great news, especially considering that your hands can swell throughout the day from eating and sleeping, and at longer term, during the summer. as the weather warms.
At the other end of the scale, Samsung's smallest size is 5, while the Oura Gen 4 goes all the way down to 4.
According to The Verge, the current larger 12 and 13 sizes have up to a day more battery life than the smaller versions – this is likely because the larger build provides more cell space . However, we don't yet have any confirmation on the battery or dimensions of these new additions to the Galaxy Ring family.
Additionally, Samsung will add new features to its Samsung Health app that will benefit anyone who regularly monitors their sleep. First to arrive (in the first half of 2025) is a Sleep Environment Report that provides suggestions on how to optimize your bedroom for a better night's sleep.
