The latest Samsung Galaxy Ring leak hints at an eye-watering price – and the next model could get a display

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Ring is set to be released on July 10, and recent leaks suggest that it may come with a hefty price tag. According to a rumor from Dealabs, the Galaxy Ring could be priced at €449 in France, which roughly translates to $485 / £380 / AU$720. This would make it considerably more expensive than its competitors like the 3rd-gen Oura ring, which starts at $299 / £299. Earlier leaks had suggested a more reasonable price range of $300-350.

As for features, the Galaxy Ring is expected to prioritize health and fitness tracking, with a potential optional subscription offering additional health-tracking features and analysis. Although there is no mention of the subscription in the Dealabs leak, Samsung's focus on health and fitness with this wearable is in line with other offerings from companies like Oura, Fitbit, and Apple.

Interestingly, there may be an even more advanced version of the Galaxy Ring on the horizon. A Samsung patent spotted by 91mobiles suggests the possibility of a smart ring with a display, capable of showing notifications and fitness statistics. This potential successor appears to have a more elongated shape compared to the upcoming model.

While it's important to note that patents do not guarantee future products, they do provide insight into a company's technological explorations. For now, the focus remains on the initial Galaxy Ring launch. The coming weeks will reveal more details about its pricing, features, and overall performance—ultimately determining how well Samsung can sell this new wearable to consumers.
