Samsung plans to produce 400,000 Ring smart rings, expected to be released as early as August

[Gearbest Technology News]On March 8, Gearbest learned from foreign media that Samsung Electronics plans to produce the first batch of 400,000 Ring smart rings. The device is equipped with multiple sensors and users can view body and health information through the app. It is reported that mass production of Samsung Ring parts will begin in May and is expected to be released as early as August together with Samsung’s new sixth-generation foldable phone. The smart ring will be available in 8 to 9 sizes to meet the needs of different users.

It is worth noting that according to reports, the Samsung Ring released this time is likely to be a health product and does not have medical device functions. Samsung Electronics needs more time to perfect the product before obtaining medical device certification. Generally speaking, it takes 7 to 8 months to develop a product, and it takes another 10 to 12 months to obtain medical device approval.

Industry insiders said that even if the launch of this time is a health-oriented product, in the long run, Samsung Electronics will continue to develop the smart ring market by adding medical device functions. Ultimately, design and price will be key factors in determining whether Ring can gain a foothold in the market. The increase in functionality may lead to higher prices and increased product thickness, so Samsung Electronics needs to find a balance between optimizing design and controlling costs.

Samsung MX head TM Roh previously said that for users who don't like wearing bulky smartwatches to sleep, devices like Ring are more comfortable and convenient. It is reported that Ring may have functions such as heart rate/SpO2 monitoring, sleep tracking and exercise tracking, and can synchronize data with Samsung Health to provide users with a more comprehensive health management experience.
