Samsung’s Galaxy Ring was initially teased in January, then showcased in February at MWC, and is predicted to be totally introduced this July at the corporate’s subsequent Unpacked unveiling occasion, which can be the place the following Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold will see the sunshine of day.
Thus far we have been working below the idea that there can be 9 Galaxy Ring sizes in complete, however a brand new leak sort of implies Samsung might have minimize a kind of, and settled on eight ultimately. This leak offers us the mannequin numbers for the rings, and there are simply eight of them: SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509.
The eagle eyed amongst you’ve got certainly already seen that we’re lacking two numbers in that sequence, particularly SM-Q503 and SM-Q504. It is unclear what is going on on right here – perhaps ten sizes have been initially deliberate, then one was minimize, after which one other.
The supply of this leak claims SM-Q500 would be the smallest measurement, whereas SM-Q509 would be the largest. So if two sizes have certainly been minimize earlier than launch, it is attention-grabbing to notice that they have been each on the smaller aspect.
Anyway, most of that is mere hypothesis at this level, do not forget. What’s clear is that rings are extra difficult to make than smartwatches, the place one or two sizes are sufficient. Contemplating Samsung additionally needs to supply the Galaxy Ring in three colours, the variety of potential permutations is large, so it will be comprehensible if the corporate determined to go together with absolutely the lowest variety of sizes it may get away with.
The Galaxy Ring will last as long as 9 days on one cost (the advantages of not having a display, we assume), and it’ll function sleep monitoring and probably even NFC to mean you can pay with it.
