- Two Samsung fans sites reported that an upgrade of the Samsung Galaxy ring takes place in South Korea
- The upgrade contains new features: activity consistency (or “regulations”) and sleep advice to improve your night environment
- The sleep guidance function interfaces with the network of Samsung intelligent devices, smartthings
Samsung seeks to make your Galaxy ring more precise than ever, introducing an upgrade of South Korean users which adds two new features to the smart ring.
The first is a new metric based on consistency that makes your energy score more precise, while the second is a new sleep feature that fits into Samsung smart home appliances.
Samsung would have deployed the version of the Q50XWWU2AY firmware for the Galaxy ring – which comes at the top of our list of the best intelligent rings available at the moment – but we have not yet seen the official confirmation of Samsung.
Instead, our information comes from two initiate fans sites – Samobile and Sammyfans – with links with the company based in South Korea. The upgrade would currently be deployed to Samsung users in South Korea, so we imagine that it will not take long before seeing it in other regions.
Without any official word, we cannot give you a complete overview of how the new features work, but an update of how Samsung measures activity – Sammyfans calls it the “ coherence of the ” – is said to be on the way.
In addition, Samsung’s sleep advice is also apparently updated. The two sites are suitable that the ring will interact with the Samsung intelligent home devices called smartthings, using the ecosystem of Samsung devices to adjust your sleep environment and make sure you get a better bed bed. The way this interaction will work is unknown.
A great revelation
Although this update seems relatively minor, he has the impression that Samsung is about to do something that looks like an intelligent home cyborg, integrating your health into AI devices such as thermostats and smart lights.
Samsung has told us that this kind upgrades were being pipeline at CES 2025, with Jaeyeon Jung, head of the smartthing team, saying: “We wanted our devices to facilitate the life of consumers and better, that was our vision.
“Samsung has a wide range of wallet products, and we want to offer great lifestyle experiences [across these devices]. “”
We expect this smartthing integration to be quite minor at the start, but the possibilities are endless. Imagine a piece that automatically becomes cooler or hoter depending on your sleeping body temperature, or an intelligent speaker playing an audio book or soft music that turns automatically once you are in deep sleep.
