																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Galaxy Ring is a revolutionary addition to Samsung’s wearable line-up, set to redefine how users can track and optimise their wellness using technology. Designed to offer more than just fitness tracking, the Galaxy Ring integrates seamlessly with your smartphone, ensuring an elevated user experience, whether you&#8217;re using a Galaxy device or other smartphones.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Compatibility Across Platforms</strong></h3>
<p>While the Galaxy Ring offers full integration with Samsung’s vast ecosystem, it is also designed with compatibility in mind for other smartphones. For users of other platforms or operating systems, the Galaxy Ring will offer limited functionality, much like the current Galaxy Watch. Users can expect to receive notifications, track basic health data, and benefit from other core features, although some advanced functionalities may be restricted when compared to its use with Samsung Galaxy smartphones.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Unmatched Integration with the Samsung Galaxy Ecosystem</strong></h3>
<p>For those within the Samsung ecosystem, the Galaxy Ring offers a highly connected experience, effortlessly syncing with devices like the Galaxy Buds, Samsung SmartThings, and Bixby. Whether you&#8217;re adjusting your smart home devices or controlling your music through your Galaxy Ring, the synergy across devices enhances your daily routine and helps you stay more connected than ever before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Comprehensive Health and Fitness App Integration</strong></h3>
<p>As a health-focused wearable, the Galaxy Ring is designed to sync seamlessly with Samsung&#8217;s Health app, Google Fit, and a variety of third-party fitness apps. The device’s integration with these platforms ensures users can track a broad range of health metrics, from activity levels to sleep patterns. Samsung is also committed to delivering future software updates, expanding app compatibility, and providing enhanced features as the Galaxy Ring evolves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-22794 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/008-lifestyle-galaxy-zflip6-mint-ring-titaniumblack-4-e1749720132445.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1250" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Revolutionise Your Sleep Routine</strong></h3>
<p>More than just another sleep tracker, the Galaxy Ring is your personal sleep assistant. Equipped with Samsung Health, the Galaxy Ring offers tailored sleep suggestions based on your unique sleep patterns, habits, and conditions. By analysing both your sleep quality and daily routines, it recommends the most suitable bedtime to ensure you get the rest you deserve. This device goes beyond basic sleep analysis by providing actionable insights for improving sleep hygiene. It suggests optimal bedtimes and tracks sleep quality to help users establish healthy routines. Plus, with snore detection capabilities, you’ll be able to assess your sleep environment and discover how to address potential disruptions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-22793 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/007-lifestyle-galaxy-zflip6-blue-watch7-silver-ring-titaniumgold-4-e1749720043195.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Ring offers personalised Sleep Scores, a comprehensive assessment of your sleep quality. By evaluating various factors, such as how long you stay in deep sleep versus lighter stages, the ring provides suggestions on how to improve your nightly rest, empowering you to make data-driven decisions for better sleep health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Regular Software Updates for Long-Term Value</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung’s commitment to providing continuous software updates guarantees that the Galaxy Ring will remain up-to-date with the latest features, enhancements, and security patches. With the assurance of regular software upgrades, users can enjoy an ever-improving experience that aligns with the latest in wearable technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can get the Samsung Galaxy Ring in Samsung stores, online, the Samsung Shop App, as well as participating retailers and operators, at a recommended retail price of R7,999<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><sup style="font-size: small;">[1]</sup></a><span style="font-size: small;">Recommended Retail Price Only. Prices may vary per retailer.</span></em></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Galaxy Ring, is the smallest device in the Galaxy line-up to date. Despite its size, it’s packed with Samsung’s most advanced sensor technology and Galaxy AI capabilities, helping users keep tabs on their health by simply wearing it on their finger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom unboxed the Galaxy Ring, designed to enhance both style and convenience in everyday life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A Journey That Begins With Fine Packaging</strong></p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main1.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Ring’s innovative form factor is reflected in its thoughtfully crafted packaging. Constructed in a clamshell design, the packaging resembles a jewelry box, thereby accentuating the wearable’s unique form. Opening the box unveils a transparent charging case with LED lighting — evoking the feeling of revealing a precious gem.</p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><video style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"><source src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main2.mp4" /></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Consistent with the packaging, the charging case adopts a design similar to that of a jewelry box as well. Once opened, the charging case reveals the Galaxy Ring with its titanium frame and sleek curved body, subtly illuminated by LED lighting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Ring is available in three colours — Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold — and comes in nine ring sizes from size 8 to 15. This range allows users to select the perfect combination of colour and fit, tailored to their personal style and size.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Sophisticated Design Offering Comfort All Week Long</strong></h3>
<p>To provide continuous support and help users stay on track with their health, the Galaxy Ring is equipped with a powerful battery that lasts up to seven days on a single charge.<sup>1</sup> The battery level and charging status can be easily monitored through the LED lighting in the charging case.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Ring’s main appeal lies in its lightweight and comfortable fit. Weighing between 2.3 grams (size 5) and 3 grams (size 13),<sup>2</sup> the device’s sleek, slim design creates an effortless wearing experience that is so comfortable users might forget they have anything on.</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<div id="attachment_22168" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-22168 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main6-e1744028482160.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy Ring boasts a sleek, lightweight design.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Ring is exceptionally durable, thanks to its concave design and Titanium Grade 5 finish that resists everyday scratches and wear.<sup>3</sup> The device is also 10 ATM water resistant,<sup>4</sup> allowing it to withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 metres. This means the Galaxy Ring can continue to monitor users’ health while they wash their hands, take a shower or engage in strenuous activities without worrying about damaging the device.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Advanced Sensors for Comprehensive Health Monitoring</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_22167" style="width: 948px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-22167 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main8-938x563.jpg" alt="" width="938" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main8-938x563.jpg 938w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main8-938x563-768x461.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy Ring features three state-of-the-art sensors.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Ring’s ability to deliver a comprehensive range of health information, from sleep quality to daily activities, is rooted in its advanced built-in sensors. With a skin temperature sensor, heart rate monitor sensor and accelerometer, the Galaxy Ring’s trio of state-of-the-art sensors encircle the user’s finger — meticulously tracking data that is subsequently analysed by Galaxy AI to provide personalised health insights. Users can access detailed health information and insights on the Samsung Health app.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Quick and Easy Pairing With Galaxy Smartphones</strong></p>
<p>To use the Galaxy Ring, it must first be paired with a Galaxy smartphone. This process is very straightforward. When the case is opened, the device automatically enters pairing mode. Users can follow the instructions on their Galaxy smartphone to complete the connection.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To pair manually, place the Galaxy Ring in the case and press the multipurpose button for at least three seconds to activate pairing mode.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_22166" style="width: 948px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-22166 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Samsung-Mobile-Wearable-Galaxy-Ring-Unboxing_main10-938x563-e1744028736785.jpg" alt="" width="938" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ A long press (for three seconds) on the multipurpose button will manually activate pairing mode.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Do you find yourself feeling more tired once the clocks spring forward for Daylight Savings Time (DST)? Well, you’re not alone. Although losing an hour the night of DST may seem insignificant, examining the sleep patterns of global Samsung Health user’s</span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/world-sleep-day-recovering-from-daylight-savings-may-take-more-than-three-weeks-youngest-hit-hardest#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[i]</sup></span></a><span> from the US, Canada and more than 40 European countries reveals a ripple effect that causes weeks-long disruptions to sleep patterns, hitting younger age groups the hardest.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>DST Takes a Toll on Sleep, With Younger Generations Most Disrupted</strong></h3>
<p>When looking into how much of an impact DST has on people the morning after, one thing is clear, everyone’s sleep patterns are thrown off. In fact, people spent a little too much time counting sheep the night of the time change, falling asleep 33 minutes later than the previous night, waking up 19 minutes earlier. While losing sleep isn’t easy at any age, those in their 20s likely felt it the most thanks to an extremely late bedtime and a seeming inability to sleep in.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-21811 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="642" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main1-877x563.jpg 877w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main1-768x493.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moreover, Sleep Score – calculated based on an evaluation of a users’ total sleep time, awake time, sleep cycle, plus physical and mental recovery – was at the worst level for weeks after DST – and again, people in their 20s appeared to be most affected. When examining in the seven-day Sleep Score average, the 20s age group demonstrated the slowest score recovery rate, while older age groups adapted much quicker. By the third week, Sleep Score for all age groups were still not stable as normal, showing fluctuations in the quality of a good night’s rest.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-21812 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="643" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main2.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main2-876x563.jpg 876w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-Samsung-Health-World-Sleep-Day-Recovering-From-Daylight-Saving-Time_main2-768x494.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Useful Tips To Help You Get a Good Night’s Sleep and a Quicker Recovery</strong></h3>
<p>The transition into DST clearly affects the sleep patterns of all age groups long after the clocks change, but for younger generations, prioritising sleep management during this time couldn’t be more important. In recognition of World Sleep Day, Samsung is sharing useful tips that make understanding your sleep patterns and habits as seamless and effortless as possible for a better night’s rest.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Creating an ideal sleep environment is critical to a good night’s sleep.</strong> Later this month, Samsung Health app update<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[ii]</sup></span></a> will make this possible by providing guidance and analysis on the key factors that influence sleep quality, including temperature, humidity, CO<sub>2</sub> and illuminance via a Sleep Environment Report<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[iii]</sup></span></a> – leveraging SmartThings and the power of Samsung’s extensive device ecosystem. With a better understanding of how your environment affects sleep, easily optimise your room conditions for an improved night’s rest.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>In addition to perfecting your sleep environment, <strong>understanding how activity can impact energy level </strong><strong>is key</strong><strong>.</strong> Samsung Health app updates also bring enhancements to Energy Score<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[iv]</sup></span></a>, which provides an indicator of how much energy users can expend throughout the day. In addition to sleep and heart rate, a new detailed factor about activity – Activity Consistency – will help you understand your overall condition in greater detail by evaluating your activity levels over the past four weeks.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>It’s also important to <strong>understanding how you’re sleeping and making necessary adjustments through sleep training.</strong> Sleep Coaching makes this simple by seamlessly tracking your sleep patterns over 7 days and assigning a sleep animal based on the results. With a personalised coaching program, develop healthy habits and routines that set you on a positive path to achieving your sleep goals.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>World Sleep Day serves as an important reminder of the importance of sleep. With the latest Samsung Health app updates and the Galaxy ecosystem, Samsung remains committed to helping users optimise their sleep and lead healthier, more balanced life.</p>
