When launching the Galaxy Ring, Samsung made everyone believe that its first wellness smart ring would only work with Galaxy smartphones. However, it later turned out that most of its features would work with any current Android phone. Now it has been revealed that all of the Galaxy Ring’s features will work when you pair it with Android smartphones from other manufacturers.

All Galaxy Ring features work when paired with non-Samsung Android phones

Although Samsung mentions on its Galaxy Ring product website that Energy Score and Galaxy AI-powered health tips only work with Galaxy AI-equipped smartphones, it turns out that you don’t need a Samsung phone at all. According to a report by Android PoliceThe Galaxy Ring’s Energy Score and Galaxy AI-powered health tips worked perfectly with the Motorola Razr Plus.

Apparently, the Energy Score started working from the first day of using the Galaxy Ring, and the Galaxy AI-powered health tips also started working after a few days. So if you don’t own a Samsung phone but want to use the Galaxy Ring, you can get the smart ring without any worries.

What does Galaxy Ring offer?

The Galaxy Ring is made of titanium on the outside, while its interior is packed with sensors, including an accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate sensor, blood oxygen measurement sensor, and skin temperature sensor. It can measure your activities (such as daily steps and runs), sleep duration and quality, blood oxygen levels, and skin temperature to give you a complete overview of your fitness and well-being.

The Smart Ring is IP68 dust and water resistant. It is available in different sizes and three finishes (gold, silver and black). The battery lasts at least six days in the smaller sizes and longer in the larger ones. It comes with a charging case that can charge the Galaxy Ring several times before it needs to be recharged again. The Samsung Health app is required to operate.

Rumor has it that Samsung wants to make the Galaxy Ring compatible with iPhones in the future.
