Smart rings are the newest type of wearable device, and Samsung is now in the game with the Galaxy Ring. Is it better than the Oura Ring? We found out.
Competition in the smart ring market is heating up, and Oura’s long period of dominance is finally being challenged. Samsung , one of the world’s biggest companies, has stepped up to the plate with the Samsung Galaxy Ring — its own stab at wearable tech that slips onto a finger.
Samsung Galaxy Ring vs. Oura Ring: specs Samsung Galaxy Ring vs. Oura Ring: design and durability Surprise surprise: These smart rings are both ring-shaped. But the design similarities largely end at “they form a complete loop,” as both embrace very different designs. Oura’s Horizon Ring is a more traditional ring shape, and it has a small nub at the bottom of the ring, so you can keep the sensors at the bottom of your finger.
A lot of this will come down to your personal style, but looking at it from a less fashion-forward perspective, we have to give it to the Galaxy Ring for its thinner and lighter design.Samsung Galaxy Ring vs. Oura Ring: health and fitness tracking This is a very important category because, well, it’s what these devices are all about. As usual, we’ll start with what’s shared between the two rings.
Both rings are also capable of tracking exercises through automatic detection. The Galaxy Ring can detect when you’re running or walking, but Oura really blows it out of the water in this regard, boasting an incredible automatic detection of over 40 workouts. Heck, the Oura Ring even knows when you’re doing housework and gives you credit for it.
The Oura Ring has a little charging plinth it’s popped onto to recharge, and it’s convenient. It still needs to be plugged in to charge, though, and that’s an area where the Galaxy Ring has it beat. The Galaxy Ring has a similar arrangement, including a plinth, but instead of being a dock-style that needs to be plugged in, it’s a charging case instead. So you can pop your ring into the case and carry it around or tuck it away.
