Wow! Samsung Galaxy Ring getting firmware update
Samsung Galaxy Ring is getting a September 2024 firmware update. With this release, the company initiated the innovative wearable gadget’s support lifecycle. The first update is tiny but welcome stuff for the Ring owners.
theonecid/X spotted that the Galaxy Ring started getting the first firmware update from Samsung. The build weighs under 1MB and brings more reliable Bluetooth connectivity and unspecified improvements to Samsung Health.
As the Galaxy Ring is not directly functional, you have to install the update through your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The Galaxy Wearable update would be your bridge to install the new firmware on your Galaxy Ring.
The new update improves the smart ring’s Bluetooth connectivity. Owners of the Galaxy Ring would have a reliable experience with Samsung’s futuristic device. However, a future release should bring some notable changes to the table.
It is assumed that the company has been working on a major update for Galaxy Ring. Some reviewers noted that the ring’s battery life should be improved. The issue of occasional inaccurate health tracking would also be fixed.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Ring back in July, marking the company’s first foray into the smart ring space. We haven’t seen much in the way of updates since its release, but it looks like one has just rolled out.
