Samsung has been working on its wearable Galaxy Ring for quite some time now. Samsung has initiated a legal process to obtain a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, essentially seeking legal confirmation that their product (Galaxy Ring) does not violate Oura’s patents.

Galaxy Ring Release date
The company has not revealed which other countries it will make the new wearable ring available in. Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Ring alongside the 6th-generation foldable at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, which is reportedly scheduled for July. The company has a track record of announcing foldables in July and releasing them in early August.
So, this lawsuit basically confirms the rumors that Samsung will announce the new wearable ring at its Galaxy Unpacked event.
Galaxy Ring Features
The document also reveals some of the health-tracking capabilities of the Galaxy Ring. It states that “Building on its extensive investment in health and fitness tracking technology, including Galaxy Watch and the Samsung Health app, the Galaxy Ring monitors heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen, motion, and sleep to provide users with valuable information and guidance to improve their health and well-being.” The total health tracking system will also reportedly provide an “energy score” based on the recorded data.
Notably, Samsung may reserve additional features for announcement at the Galaxy Unpacked event.
