Acer is the latest tech company to take a stab at creating a smart ring. And it's obvious who it's taken inspiration from, a.k.a. the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The Acer FreeSense Smart Ring comes in a titanium alloy casing with sizes ranging from US size 7 to 13 and weighing around 2 to 3 grams.

Samsung officially announced the Galaxy S25 series, highlighting a significant focus on artificial intelligence capabilities. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, the S25 lineup features a dedicated Personal Data Engine core for enhanced AI processing.
This dedicated core enables personalized AI experiences, learning user habits and interacting with other Samsung devices (like the Galaxy Ring or Watch) to anticipate needs and automate tasks. For example, the phone could automatically turn off the TV when the user falls asleep or suggest a "sleep mode" to minimize distractions.

After its global launch in July, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is finally coming to Canada. It will hit the Samsung Experience Stores in the country starting October 3. You can visit the nearest brick-and-mortar store for a hands-on experience with the new smart ring. You can also order the Galaxy Ring through samsung.com/ca and at participating authorized Canadian retailers.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring costs $549.99, and the sizing kit is sold separately for $14.99. It's one of the more expensive smart rings available, but the upside is it doesn't come with a subscription to use the wearable.

Early reports suggested the Galaxy Ring would be exclusive to Samsung phones. Thankfully, that's not true! The ring connects to any Android phone running Android 11 or later via the Galaxy Wearable app.
This means you don't need a Samsung phone to enjoy core health features like heart rate monitoring, step counting, sleep tracking, basic wellness tips, and automatic workout detection. Plus, there are no subscription fees to access your health data.
