Wednesday's Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event didn't just unveil the flagship Samsung Galaxy S24 phones, but the tech giant also hinted at the launch of the Galaxy Ring -- a new smart ring designed to monitor a user's health, heating up the competition in the smart ring segment. The Samsung Galaxy Ring has Samsung's "cutting-edge" health innovations in a fresh form factor, aiming to be a "powerful and accessible health and wellness device", set to redefine the landscape of future health.

There is no word on the availability and pricing of the product, as yet.
