Samsung's Galaxy Ring recently made headlines with its first public appearance at the MWC 2024 event. However, these were prototypes with the official release confirmed for "later this year." But the Galaxy Ring's MWC appearance enlightened us with some pretty important details. Now, there's no doubt that the Galaxy Ring will compete head-to-head with the likes of the popular Oura Ring at launch. So, how will the Galaxy Ring fare against the current smart ring market leader? We have an idea! Read on to find out.
Samsung Galaxy Ring vs Oura Ring: First impressions
Right off the bat, you'll notice how the Galaxy Ring and Oura Ring look like two peas in a pod. On the design front, they are just as identical. However, there is one important difference that sets the two rings apart. While the Galaxy Ring has a concave design, the Oura Ring is convex.
Several smart rings on the market, such as the Ultrahuman Ring AIR and also the Oura ring, come with a concave structure. This automatically makes these rings an absolute scratch magnet that easily collides with surfaces.
It's good to see Samsung looking out for such details and implementing them on the Galaxy Ring. However, it's not just scratches that the concave design keeps at bay.
