Samsung Galaxy Ring price leaks and there will be a monthly subscription too

2024-05-22

The Samsung Galaxy Ring may have been officially unveiled in February, but that was more of a teaser than anything as there is much we still don’t know about this ring – for example, how much will it cost?

Tipster Yogesh Brar reports that the US pricing will be in the $300-$350 range, while it India it will be around ₹35,000. That’s not all, though, there will be a subscription. It's not clear whether this subscription is mandatory or just something that offers and enhanced experience.

Apparently, there will be a monthly subscription “under $10” to Samsung Health. This is something that Samsung Electronics VP Dr. Hon Pak hinted at in a CNBC interview back when the ring was initially unveiled.

Fitbit Premium is $10/month or $80 for a full year, Apple Fitness+ is the same price and (more relevant) the Oura Ring has a Membership subscription too – $6/month or $70/year. It looks like Samsung wants to secure some recurring revenue with the Ring, similar to its competitors.

But Apple’s Fitness+ gives you access to video workouts and more, what will a Galaxy Ring subscription offer? We don’t know yet, but we have already heard that the Galaxy Ring will integrate with Samsung Food, which might provide more detailed meal plans and diet suggestions than you normally get – ones calibrated with data coming from the Ring.
