Meven though Samsung has announced two new smart watches, the truth is that the technology company is committed to reinforcing the usefulness of its smart ring Galaxy Ring and, it seems, the next big news will come in the fall.
Samsung took advantage of this week's Unpacked event in London to reveal that Galaxy Ring will receive a feature capable of detecting sleep apnea.
At the event, an executive of Samsung, Sharanya Desai, even stated that “the Galaxy Ring will be the first and only ring-shaped device, approved by the US Food and Medicines Administration and available without a prescription, to detect the risk of sleep apnea.”.
