News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy Ring

As wearables like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart rings become part of our everyday tech, some Muslim users might wonder: Is it haram to wear these if they contain gold in their circuits? Considering the recent arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Ring here in Malaysia, we thought it would be timely to find out more. Here's what you need to know.

Today, Samsung Malaysia announced the arrival of the Galaxy Ring. Introducing a new era of AI-powered health to users’ hands, it is now available nationwide from 9 April 2025 at the price of RM2,099. Below are more details about the availability and limited-time deals.

When the Samsung Galaxy Ring was first announced last July, some were disappointed that it wouldn't come to Malaysia. Sure, it's fairly pricey for a niche device. But there's no denying its tech fashion value. However, Samsung confirmed in January that the device would be coming to 15 other countries starting in February, and Malaysia is on that list.

Most modern tech gadgets have been using lithium-ion batteries for the longest time, but that could be changed in the future. According to an industry source, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is exploring an all-solid-state battery and integrating it into the Galaxy Ring by the end of this year.

Samsung Electronics today announced the addition of two new sizes to the Galaxy Ring, sizes 14 and 15, making it now available in a range of sizes from 5 to 15. The Galaxy Ring will be launched in 15 new markets starting in February, including Malaysia.

During the last Samsung Unpacked, it was confirmed Malaysia wouldn't be getting the Galaxy Ring. This is likely due to expected low market demand, as it's a very niche product. Having said that, the company could be looking to expand by adding more sizes.

At every second half of the year, the second Galaxy Unpacked would happen to showcase the next-gen Galaxy foldable phones. A few hours ago, it seems that the official date was accidentally released on a Dutch carrier website but has been taken down already.

During the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung teased a new Galaxy Ring momentarily in one of its teasers. Well, the company unveiled the official look and also made its appearance at MWC 2024. Here's what we can expect.

Looks like the tech rat race between Samsung and Apple is heating up. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Samsung’s Galaxy Ring might be able to monitor your blood sugar level without breaking the skin. This is how they could do it.

Previously, we mentioned the Samsung Curio, a smart ring from Samsung that could change the market as we know it. That said, leaks about the smart ring is running wild and some of these might interest you. That said, what should you know about the leaks?
