The forthcoming wearable will be compatible with other Android devices , Samsung said during a recent interview at MWC earlier this week .
iOS substance abuser , as expected , will probably miss out . However , with story suggestingApple too is interestedin developing its own edition , perhaps not for too long .
“ We recognize the iOS / Android challenge , and we ultimately trust that our equipment are of such caliber that hoi polloi will be willing to swap , ” Hon Pak , a Samsung VP who head up the digital health team , toldCNET . When asked about the compatibility with Android devices , he confirm : “ That ’s where we are . And then beyond ? I think it ’s TBD . ”
The report also had a little insight into the battery sizes and weights within the Galaxy Ring poser . The smallest model will only have a 14.5mAh electric battery and weigh a svelte 2.3 g. The big model will have 21.5mAh battery , while it ’ll count 2.9 g. Samsung reckons there ’ll be barrage fire lifetime of 5 - 9 solar day in total .
Perhaps most interestingly though is the synergism with theGalaxy Watch . Samsung says wearing both the Ring and the Watch would improve the lineament of the data gathered . “ We jazz that , for example , the carrying out of sleep staging goes up when both devices are wear out , ” Pak said .
We already know there ’ll be NFC and Samsung Pay on panel , as well as 24/7 heart rate monitoring , rip oxygen levels , hart rate variability , sleep stages , nap duration and more . There ’ll also be cycle tracking , tegument temperature readings , stress monitoring and more .
