The Galaxy Ring could cost as much as an Oura and come with a subscription too

Samsung is gearing as much as launch the Samsung Galaxy Ring wearable, presumably on the rumored Galaxy Unpacked on July 10, 2024. We all know a bunch of details about the upcoming good ring, however we’re nonetheless unclear on how a lot it might value. Now, a brand new leak has make clear the potential worth vary of the Samsung Galaxy Ring, whereas now we have additionally learnt the potential month-to-month subscription value that it might include.

Leaker Yogesh Brar has talked about the US worth vary and Indian pricing for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Ring.

In accordance with the leak, the Samsung Galaxy Ring can be priced round $300-$350. It will put it in competitors towards the Oura Ring 3, which begins at $299 for its Heritage variant and goes as much as $549 for its Rose Gold Horizon variant.

The Oura Ring 3 additionally requires a $71.88/12 months subscription to entry its full vary of options, whereas Samsung hasn’t disclosed whether or not it’s planning a subscription mannequin for accessing some Galaxy Ring options.

In a dialog with me, Yogesh Brar mentions that the Samsung Galaxy Ring might include a month-to-month subscription that’s “underneath $10” within the US market, in keeping with his sources.

Take into account that none of those pricing particulars have been formally introduced by Samsung. Samsung doesn’t require a subscription to entry well being options on the Galaxy Watch 6, so a subscription for the Galaxy Ring feels misplaced except the corporate has plans for some distinctive worth addition.

Samsung Electronics Vice President and Head of Digital Well being Crew, Dr. Hon Pak, talked about in an interview with CNBC earlier within the 12 months that the corporate is “contemplating” a subscription service for its Samsung Well being app, however the capabilities and insights it affords have to be improved earlier than that may occur. Samsung can also be engaged on the Galaxy Watch 7 sequence, which is anticipated to launch on the similar rumored Galaxy Unpacked occasion because the Galaxy Ring, so a broader Well being subscription throughout each merchandise sounds believable. Sprinkle the subscription with some AI magic for personalised well being insights and training, and it would simply click on with customers.

Whereas not a direct competitor, the Galaxy Ring does exist in the identical market house because the Galaxy Watch, so the corporate ought to keep away from cannibalizing the gross sales of 1 product with the opposite. Dr. Hon Pak confirmed within the CNBC interview that customers will be capable to get totally different well being insights after they put on the smartwatch and Ring collectively, indicating that Samsung is pushing for a wider ecosystem (and never a product various) with the Galaxy Ring.
