Samsung Galaxy Ring Arrives in South Africa, Price Revealed
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is here, but there’s a catch…
Samsung has launched its long-awaited Galaxy Ring in South Africa, a sleek and stylish wearable that combines a fashion-forward design with cutting-edge technology.
Crafted with premium titanium, the Galaxy Ring offers durability without compromising on comfort. Its slim, curved body fits on any finger, making it the perfect accessory for any occasion. Available in three stunning finishes, silver, gold, and black, the ring’s look is enhanced by LED lights that indicate the charging cycle, so users always know how much power is left with just a quick glance.
Custom sizing
Regarding getting the right size, the Galaxy Ring comes with a convenient Sizing Kit. This allows customers to try on sample rings for more than a day to ensure optimal comfort before confirming their order.
Advanced Health Insights, Powered by Samsung AI
A focus of the Galaxy Ring is its health tracking features. Equipped with three precision sensors – an Optical Bio-signal sensor, a Skin Temperature sensor, and an Accelerometer – the Galaxy Ring provides detailed insights into your daily activities, sleep patterns, and overall health. Samsung’s advanced Galaxy AI analyses the data, offering personalised recommendations to help you optimise your fitness and well-being.

Battery
With an impressive battery life of up to seven days on a single charge, the Galaxy Ring ensures that you can keep track of your health without the constant need to recharge.
Heart Rate and Mindfulness Tracking: A Holistic Approach to Wellness
The Galaxy Ring’s Heart Rate Monitoring feature provides precise measurements by filtering out the body’s movements, ensuring accurate readings for more informed decisions about your health. It also offers a Mindfulness Tracker, allowing users to monitor their moods, practice breathing exercises, and meditate using Samsung Health’s easy-to-follow guides – all with a single tap on your ring.
And the Catch: No NFC?
Sadly, the Galaxy Ring does not have NFC, therefore, no contactless payments can be made using this iteration of the device. It would’ve been a very handy addition, so unfortunately, if you’re looking to make smart ring payments, you may have to look elsewhere.
Durability
Built to withstand daily wear and tear, the Galaxy Ring’s titanium body ensures exceptional durability without sacrificing its sleek, fashionable design.
Price and availability
The Galaxy Ring is available now in Samsung stores, online, the Samsung Shop App, as well as participating retailers and operators, at a recommended retail price of R7,999.
