Galaxy Ring Update Adds Support for New Samsung Health Features

Launched in July 2024, Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is now reaching more users as the company expands its global availability. At the same time, the company wants to bring some useful health features for its smart ring users, so it recently released a new software update for the device. As of now, the update is rolling out to users in Korea, with more countries to follow over the next few days.

Samsung pushes new Galaxy Ring update: what’s new?

The latest software update for Galaxy Ring comes with the build version Q50XWWU2AYD1. While the downloadable file size is just 0.66 MB, it brings support for two health features through Samsung Health. The first one is support for activity regularity to improve the energy score system, and the second one is support for sleep environment management and report.

Do note that after installing the latest software version on your Galaxy Ring, you also need to update the Samsung Health app to the latest version (6.29.5). Otherwise, the newest health features will not work properly.

Benefits of the new health features

The update now allows Galaxy Ring users to use an improved energy score system — it now allows users to maintain the energy score by appropriately adjusting the amount of activity. The energy score provides a detailed analysis of your daily measured sleep, activities, and heart rate during sleep. This is very helpful as it helps you maintain a healthy balance between rest and activities. Now that Samsung has improved the score system, you can expect more accurate results.

Speaking of the sleep environment, it directly plays a big role in your sleep quality. If you adjust things like lighting, temperature, and noise level, you can create a better sleep environment. The good news is that Galaxy Ring now supports sleep environment management that gives insights into your sleep patterns, helping you make your home a suitable space for good sleep. On top of that, the latest update enables SmartThings to automatically control your smart devices, creating the optimal environment for a good sleep.

You can check for the latest Galaxy Ring software update via the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected smartphone. Since the Korean firm is pushing the update gradually, you may need to wait for a few days for the update to appear on your device.
