The middle wccftech reports that Samsung has been developing a ring with smart features, which seeks to offer an innovative approach. People say that the company has partnered with the Japanese company Meiko to create the printed circuit board for the ring.
Rigid and flexible PCBs are being tested to find the best option for a functional and comfortable design.

One of the main features of the Galaxy Ring will be its ability to provide accurate activity monitoring. In fact, it’s expected to surpass the health tracking capabilities offered by existing Samsung smartwatches and wristbands, like the Galaxy Watch.
In addition, the smart ring will be designed with the intention of being compatible with future extended reality headsets and glasses, which would allow the display of health data collected by the device in an environment of augmented reality.
