While Mobile World Congress 2024 was in full swing, Samsung piqued the curiosity of techies by unveiling… a smart ring behind a glass panel. Called Galaxy Ring, this connected ring promises to revolutionize health and well-being monitoring. But Samsung has not yet deigned to reveal all the features, leaving doubt about its real capabilities.
It is in this context that the HiFuture ring enters the market. Available today on the brand's website , it presents itself as a concrete alternative to the Galaxy Ring, with a minimalist design, a concentrate of technology and record autonomy.
HiFuture Ring: a concentrate of technology in a minimalist format
Far from futuristic designs and touch screens, the HiFuture ring stands out for its sobriety and elegance. Made of high quality ceramic, it comes in black and white to suit all styles. Don't be fooled by its discreet appearance, because it contains a real concentrate 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 autonomy : 7 days of autonomy, two days more than what Samsung promises for its Galaxy Ring.
A duel of announcements with an uncertain outcome
While Samsung maintains the mystery, HiFuture has opted for transparency by marketing its ring now. 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 be able to meet the challenge and offer a product that meets expectations. The Galaxy Ring will have a lot to do to compete with the HiFuture ring, which seduces with its minimalist design, its intelligent features and its record autonomy.
Highlights of the HiFuture ring:
- Minimalist and elegant design
- Record battery life of 7 days

Conclusion :
The race for the smart ring is well and truly underway. Samsung has fallen behind HiFuture, which has already conquered the market with its stylish and high-performance ring. The Galaxy Ring will have a lot to do to prevail against this unexpected competitor.
