Samsung has been specific about health wearables in the press note as the next category to get Galaxy AI in near future. It could be an indication of the arrival of Galaxy AI features with the Galaxy Ring.

Announced at the Galaxy S24 series launch, the Galaxy Ring is reportedly making debut together with the Galaxy Z foldable devices in July this year.

Samsung’s spokesperson Amber Reaver had told The Verge earlier last month that the upcoming Galaxy Ring is aimed at “empowering more people to manage their health with a comprehensive yet simplified approach to everyday wellness at home.” The report stated that the company sees the Ring as an alternative to fitness watches that is more comfortable to wear for longer durations.

Roh in his note said that Samsung will work alongside other “industry-leading AI partners” to expand the Galaxy AI experience. This might suggest that the South Korean tech giant will continue working with Google to bring more AI features that are exclusive to Samsung and Google devices.

Its collaboration with Google is already prominent in the Galaxy Watch series, which is powered by Google WearOS platform.
