A leaked photo of the Samsung Galaxy Ring charging case has surfaced ahead of its expected launch in July.
A well-known tipster on Weibo (via 9to5Google) shared an image that reveals a square white clamshell case with an elevated circle in the middle for holding the smart ring.
It looks similar to the charging case for Samsung’s earbuds, the Galaxy Buds, although it’s unclear whether the Galaxy Ring case will have a battery for easy charging on the go — or if it needs to be plugged in.
That said, the Galaxy Ring is expected to have a battery life that lasts a couple of days, so either way, the ring is designed to go where you go.
Samsung explores smart ring tech
Earlier this year, Mashable got a sneak peak of Samsung’s plans to crack into the smart ring market. Early versions showed a simple metallic ring in gold, platinum, and black variants with 13 sizes. Plus, they feature a plethora of sensors to track sleep quality and other health metrics, including heart rate and women’s fertility.
The ring is intended to complement Samsung Galaxy smartwatches and smartphones, making it all part of one big ecosystem for Samsung users.
We won’t have to wait long for more details on the Galaxy Ring; the Samsung event is reportedly right around the corner on July 10. The tech giant, which recently expanded its AI features with Galaxy AI, is expected to announce the ring in addition to new foldables.
Stay tuned to see if Samsung’s smart ring beats its competitors like Oura in the wearables industry.
