While Mobile World Congress 2024 was in full swing, Samsung piqued the interest of tech enthusiasts by unveiling… a smart ring behind a glass panel. Dubbed the Galaxy Ring, this connected ring promises to revolutionize health and wellness tracking. But Samsung has yet to reveal all its features, leaving its true capabilities shrouded in mystery.
It is in this context that the HiFuture ring enters the market. Available from today on the brand's website , it presents itself as a concrete alternative to the Galaxy Ring, with a minimalist design, a concentration of technology and record battery life.
HiFuture Ring: a concentration of technology in a minimalist format
Far from futuristic designs and touchscreens, the HiFuture ring stands out for its understated elegance. Made of high-quality ceramic, it comes in black and white to suit any style. Don't be fooled by its discreet appearance, as it contains a true concentration of technology:
- Health sensors : a heart rate sensor, a blood oxygen sensor and an accelerometer to track your health and fitness data in real time.
- Gesture control : an intuitive touch surface to navigate your music playlists, make calls, take photos and even control your PowerPoint presentations.
- Record battery life : 7 days of battery life, two days more than what Samsung promises for its Galaxy Ring.

A duel of announcements with an uncertain outcome
While Samsung maintains secrecy, HiFuture has opted for transparency by launching its ring immediately. This bold strategy could well allow it to establish itself as a leader in the smart ring market.
It remains to be seen whether Samsung will rise to the challenge and deliver a product that lives up to expectations. The Galaxy Ring will have a tough time competing with the HiFuture Ring, which impresses with its minimalist design, smart features, and record-breaking battery life.
Key features of the HiFuture ring:
- Minimalist and elegant design
- Record battery life of 7 days
- Intuitive gesture control
- Health and fitness tracking
- Blood oxygen sensor
- Affordable price (€199)
Weak points of the HiFuture ring:
- No touchscreen
- One size fits all (may not fit everyone)

(Supposed) strengths of the Galaxy Ring:

Alleged weaknesses of the Galaxy Ring:

Conclusion :
The race for the smart ring is well and truly on. Samsung has fallen behind HiFuture, which has already conquered the market with its elegant and high-performing ring. The Galaxy Ring will have a tough time establishing itself against this unexpected competitor.
Which of the two will emerge victorious from this duel? Only time will tell.
