Samsung could introduce two larger options for its Galaxy Ring wearable starting in January, according to a leaker <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/MaxJmb”>Max Jambor and new details seen by 91mobiles in a Galaxy Ring manual. The Galaxy Ring is currently available in sizes five through 13, while the new options will expand it to 14 and 15, helping it better compete with the Oura Ring, which is already available in sizes four through 15.
An image of a Samsung user guide shared by 91mobiles lists nine Galaxy Ring model numbers (SM-Q500 to SM-Q509) corresponding to the size options already available, plus two additional new model numbers, SM-Q514 and SM-Q515. The user guide has no additional details about the new models, but they correspond to the model numbers listed in the certifications for Galaxy Ring from a Norwegian organization (NEMKO) that performs safety testing and inspections for electronic devices.
In recent months, Max Jambor has revealed additional details about the <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/MaxJmb/status/1867578381803327678″>new Galaxy Ring size options on x. Expected to be available from January 2025, size 14 will have an inner diameter of 23 millimeters, while size 15 will expand this to 23.8 millimeters, and both options will weigh 3.2 grams. Current size options weigh between 2.3 and 3.0 grams.
Unlike smartwatches, you should purchase a smart ring that is the right size for your finger for comfort and to ensure it works effectively. That's why companies like Oura and Samsung offer sizing kits that you order in advance so you can try on several samples to determine your size. With these two new size options, Samsung's Galaxy Ring will be available to more users. And while the company says its wearable follows the standard US ring size, we've found that “smart rings and regular rings don't wear the same way at all,” according to The edge's Victoria Song, and I highly recommend always going the sizing kit route.
