Samsung Galaxy Ring tipped to get two new sizes

The Samsung Galaxy Ring almost immediately became an Oura Ring competitor due to its lower price, but there’s a problem: it’s only available up to size 13. If you have larger fingers, you might not be able to find one that fits comfortably. According to Max Jambor on X, that’s soon going to be a thing of the past. The leaker claims that Samsung will announce Galaxy Rings in sizes 14 and 15 in the coming weeks.

When the Galaxy Ring first launched, it was available in sizes 5 to 13. That’s the basic sizing standard in the U.S., but an increasing number of men have fingers that fall in the 14-15 range and need something slightly larger.

So, what makes the Galaxy Ring such a great pick? Unlike the Oura Ring, there are no subscription fees. That makes the Galaxy Ring stand out in a crowded market of subscription-based wearable devices despite its less efficient tracking features.

Don’t get us wrong, there are more advanced wearables out there. Even so, if you’re all-in on the Samsung ecosystem, the Galaxy Ring is a solid pick. When paired with the Samsung Galaxy Watch, the Ring gets a boost in battery life as the Watch can take over certain health-tracking features. When connected to a Samsung smartphone, you can also use gesture controls.

Of course, the Samsung Galaxy Ring also has a lot going for it in the style column. The transparent charging case makes it look like a high-end piece of jewelry, while the black design (or gold, if you prefer) looks fantastic, yet nondescript.

In addition to more size options, Samsung is expanding the Ring’s availability to more regions. It’s set to launch in Mexico on October 3.

Bloomberg reports that preorders open July 16, with shipping scheduled to begin in October. The ring can collect readings during the day and overnight, then display the results through an iOS or Android app.

HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses could finally be heading to the US. Apparently, Amazon got the memo before HTC was ready to share it.

Notebookcheck spotted six versions available for preorder at $499, each carrying a September 1 release date. Amazon has since pulled the pages, so new orders are closed and anyone who already placed one is left wondering whether it still counts.

Don’t expect smartwatches and fitness bands with replaceable batteries anytime soon
Turns out even the EU thinks your smartwatch is too small for a battery swap.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The EU has a habit of pushing tech companies to adopt meaningful changes in their product. It's the reason your iPhone finally has a USB-C port, and it's also why companies now have to offer spare parts and repair support for electronics for several years after launch. So naturally, many of us assumed wearables were next in line for mandatory swappable batteries. Turns out, the EU just went the other way.

So what did the EU announce?
