- Two Samsung Fan -Webot have reported that an upgrade to Samsung Galaxy Ring is rolled out in South Korea
- Upgrade contains new features: Activity consistency (or ‘regulatory’) and sleep guidance to make your night environment better
- SLEEP GUIDANCE FEATURE -BUSINESS WITH SAMSUNGS SMART HOME DEVICES NETWORK, SMARTTHINGS
Samsung is looking to make your Galaxy Ring more accurate than ever, reportedly introduced an upgrade to South Korean users adding two new features to the smart ring.
The first is a new consistency-based metric that is said to make your energy score more accurate, while the second is a new sleep function that is integrated with Samsung’s Smart Home devices.
Samsung is said to roll the Firmwar version Q50xwwu2ayd1 to Galaxy Ring – topping our list of the best smart rings available right now – but we have not yet seen official confirmation from Samsung.
Instead, our information comes from two Insider Fan-Place-Sammobile and Sammyfans-with ties to the South Korea-based company. The upgrade is said to be currently rolling out to Samsung users in South Korea, so we can imagine that it will not be long before we see it in other regions.
Without any official word, we cannot give you the full overview of exactly how the new features work, but an update to the way Samsung measures activity – Sammyfans call it ‘activity consistency’ – is said to be on the way.
In addition, Samsung’s sleep guidance is apparently also updated. Both places agree that the ring will interact with Samsung’s network of smart home units called SmartThings using Samsung’s ecosystem of devices to adjust your sleep environment and ensure you get better bed rest. Exactly how this interaction will work is unknown.
A great disclosure
While this update seems relatively smaller, it feels like Samsung is about to make you something similar to a smart-home cyborg by integrating your health with AI-driven devices such as thermostats and smart lights.
Samsung told us that upgrades of this kind were in Pipeline on CES 2025, with Jaeyeon Jung, head of the Smartthings team, who said: “We wanted our devices to make consumers’ lives easier and better, it has been our vision all the time. After our acquisition of Smartthings in 2014, we make this reality.
“Samsung has a wide range of portfolio products and we will provide good lifestyle experiences [across these devices]. “
We expect this Smartthings integration to be quite less at first, but the possibilities are endless. Imagine a room that automatically gets cooler or warmer based on your sleeping body temperature, or a smart speaker that plays an audiobook or soft music that automatically turns off as you go into deep sleep.
