The Galaxy Ring might officially take shape during the second half of 2024, assuming the latest report’s information turns out to be legit. Typically, Samsung hosts a second Galaxy Unpacked event in July or August, but the new rumor also says that the wearable will not just be unveiled early but also come in different sizes to accommodate a bigger customer base. In short, Samsung appears to be going ‘all in’ in this new category, with earlier reports stating that various health features will be integrated into this device to make it a more appealing purchase.
Samsung has ambitious plans to outperform Apple in the technology health sector, starting with the Galaxy Ring
Currently, ETNews reports that the Galaxy Ring is in its prototype, but based on the latest information, the device should be ready to ship before Samsung’s second Unpacked announcement. Given that the wearable is incredibly small in size, it should not take sufficient time to design it, though we can assume that there will be a ton of work required regarding software. According to this report, Samsung’s upcoming offering should ship with a bevy of features.

In addition to blood flow measuring capabilities, the Galaxy Ring is rumored to ship with ECG monitoring, sleep tracking, and the ability to control other devices and make wireless payments remotely. Previously published information also stated that Samsung is working on an Apple Vision Pro competitor and that the Galaxy Ring could easily integrate with the unnamed AR headset, though we have yet to see what benefits that will provide.
As for why the Galaxy Ring was chosen as Samsung’s next product, the Korean giant’s mobile division head, TM Roh, states that this form factor can be worn for a significantly long period and provides a complete digitized health profile while being highly convenient in terms of its negligible size. Samsung appears to be ambitious about the technology health sector because it intends to beat Apple in bringing a non-invasion blood glucose monitoring feature to its smartwatches.
Apple has been trying to bring this add-on to its own wrist-mounted wearables but has had tremendous difficulty so far, but Samsung reportedly aims to bring this technology within five years. However, for the time being, the firm has to focus on the Galaxy Ring, and with the eight different sizes talked about in the report, we believe that Samsung can target more customers with a personalized fitting, though let us see how refined the software will be during the launch.

There was a slight chance that Samsung would have partnered with MediaTek to bring its Dimensity 9000 to its flagship Galaxy S series in the past. Given that the Taiwanese company took the premium Android SoC market by surprise with this release, competitors started taking note of MediaTek and where it could be headed. Unfortunately, the deal between the two firms could not materialize, with a tipster sharing that there was a scarce supply of the chipset, amongst other reasons.
Samsung is regarded as a major smartphone chipset customer for Qualcomm, which is likely why the latter recently renewed a multi-year agreement with the Korean giant to use its Snapdragon silicon. However, it can become worrisome if one company depends on just one client to bring in 40 percent of the total revenue for a specific quarter, but according to the data shared for Q4 2023, Qualcomm appears to be too dependent on Samsung in this regard. We have witnessed on previous occasions that things can go from bad to worse if companies cannot diversify.
The affordable variant of the Apple Vision Pro is not expected until 2025, but that does not mean that the company is not aggressively pursuing its launch through some consistent R&D. According to one report, one objective of this launch is reducing the cost of the display, with recent estimates claiming that the component price can drop by as much as 50 percent.

The Tensor G4 will likely be powering the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro later this year, and while Google’s chipsets have historically delivered poorer performance and efficiency metrics compared to the competition, the upcoming chipset is rumored to receive a few upgrades. Going on the path of the Exynos 2400, a new report says that the Tensor G4 will be treated to FOWLP or ‘Fan out Wafer Level Packaging.’ While we have discussed the advantages of using this technology, let us inform readers who are hearing about it for the first time as its benefits might compel them to upgrade to the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro later this year.
Samsung is gearing up to introduce two new additions to its highly acclaimed Galaxy A series smartphones on March 11, 2024. These upcoming devices promise to elevate the user experience with their flagship features, premium design, and robust processors, reaffirming Samsung's commitment to democratizing innovation in the mobile industry.
Samsung has been reported on a few occasions to be struggling with its 3nm GAA yields, and while the logical move might have been to find ways to improve that percentage, the Korean foundry is making a monumental leap towards mass producing its 2nm node. However, according to one update, the company is not actually pursuing the production of 2nm wafers but has labeled its second-generation 3nm technology with the same name. Naturally, this can cause confusion for Samsung’s clients and mislead them into thinking that they are receiving wafers on a cutting-edge manufacturing process.
In its quest for innovation, Samsung recently unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Ring at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona, marking a significant step beyond its well-known Samsung Galaxy Watch in the wearables segment. However, there's a catch – even though it will be Android compatible, Apple iPhone users won't be in on the action.

A few hours after it was revealed that Apple had severed all work being done on its autonomous car project, Tesla CEO Elon Musk decided to take advantage of the platform that he acquired and renamed to X as he responded to the latest news. However, Musk’s reaction was thoroughly subtle and included just two emojis, opening a wave of speculation on what exactly he meant.
Samsung may not have much success with its 3nm GAA process, but it intends to make amends with its next-generation 2nm technology, which is said to enter mass production next year. To gain an edge against its foundry rival TSMC, a new report states that the Korean giant is introducing Backside Power Supply (BSPDN) technology, which aims to offer several benefits, which we will discuss here.
The Galaxy Ring is going to be an excellent product for all Samsung users. Especially those who are looking for a fitness tracker without having to wear it on their wrist. Earlier today, we heard about how the smart ring is going to offer upwards of 9-day battery life, and it sounds really interesting considering how Samsung has made something that is class-leading in terms of how it performs.
