There is speculation that Samsung Health users will likely be able to connect the Galaxy Watch with the Galaxy Ring for more accurate fitness tracking. However, the specific new features Samsung has in store for future Galaxy Ring wearers remain uncertain at this time.
Last year, Samsung announced that it was working on an AR/VR headset in partnership with Google and Qualcomm. The Galaxy Ring could be used as a controller to detect hand gestures for the XR headset. The company also apparently filed a patent for the same.
Also, a Reddit user discovered that the Samsung Health beta app includes a “Feature List” mentioning “Ring Support.” This indicates that Samsung might want to add support for smart rings made by other companies. Or the company might be planning to do both, release the Galaxy Ring and bring support for third-party rings on the Health platform.
