Like most health and fitness trackers, the Galaxy Ring had previously been tipped to be able to track, measure, monitor, and health, fitness, and sleep-related data to relevant software. A trademark filing had been claimed to state that the smart ring would manage and assess "biometric and physiological data, vital signs and personal health records." It could also tell s to seek medical advice if and when required, based on the data.

Another leak had suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Ring could be equipped with electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors. It is also expected to offer a longer battery life than smartwatches since smart rings do not have to carry displays on them. The company has not yet confirmed these features or any other details of the smart ring. It has not announced a launch timeline for the smart wearable as well. Speculations on the matter suggest that it may be introduced to the market later this year, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
