we already have an idea of ​​the price of the Samsung connected ring

According to information from a leaker, the Galaxy Ring could be offered at the same price as the Korean manufacturer’s watches.

Since the first public appearance of the Galaxy Ring last January, Samsung has gradually provided a lot of information about its first connected health ring. We now know that it will be offered in three colors, available in nine sizes and that it will have a battery life of more than a week.

However, the firm particularly locked down its communication before the official launch of its connected ring. The price and launch date are still officially unknown, at least until a tweet shared this Wednesday by Indian leaker Yogesh Brar. Generally well informed, the leaker reveals in his message that the ring should be offered in India at a price of 35,000 rupees and in the United States between 300 and 350 dollars, or between 277 and 323 euros excluding tax.

The price positioning of the Galaxy Ring is all the more anticipated since, until now, the market for connected rings ranged from simple to triple, with models offered around 120 euros and others, like the reference model, the Oura Ring 3, costing more than 300 euros and requiring an additional subscription. By positioning its Galaxy Ring opposite the Oura Ring, Samsung should thus legitimize the price of the Finnish manufacturer’s ring without attacking it head-on with a more accessible price.

A price as high as Samsung Galaxy Watches

Furthermore, while we might have expected the Galaxy Ring to be more accessible than Samsung’s connected watches, it seems that it will be priced in the same order of magnitude. As a reminder, last year’s Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 was launched, at first price, at 319 euros. Above all, Samsung should offer a more accessible version of its connected watch this year with a Galaxy Watch FE. It could therefore be that the Galaxy Ring is even more expensive than the Korean manufacturer’s first-price watch.

We will know more about the Samsung Galaxy Ring during the official presentation, expected on July 10 in Paris. It is on this occasion that Samsung should also launch its Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Watch 7.
