[Unboxing] Meet Galaxy Ring: A Personalized Health Care Device Encased in a Fancy Charging Case

Samsung Electronics’ latest wearable, the Galaxy Ring, is the smallest device in the Galaxy lineup 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.

Samsung Newsroom unboxed the Galaxy Ring, designed to enhance both style and convenience in everyday life.

A Journey That Begins With Fine Packaging

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.

The Galaxy Ring is available in three colors — titanium black, titanium silver and titanium gold — and comes in nine ring sizes from size 5 to 13. This range allows users to select the perfect combination of color and fit, tailored to their personal style and size.
