Samsung Galaxy Ring charging case leaks, hints at design
Samsung previewed its Galaxy Ring at MWC earlier this year, and it’s expected to launch at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event alongside the upcoming Galaxy Z foldable smartphones. We’ve already seen multiple rumors surrounding the smart ring’s features, ring size, and potential pricing . Now, a tipster has leaked the design of the Galaxy Ring’s charging case. The upcoming wearable appears to feature a Galaxy Earbuds-esque carrying case and an indicator light to show charging status.
Here’s how to charge the Galaxy Ring
Tipster Ice Universe on Weibo shared the image of the alleged Galaxy Ring charging case. The case shows a chic design that resembles jewelry boxes with flat edges and a glossy finish. It vaguely resembles the charging cases for Samsung’s Galaxy Buds. The raised circular area in the charging case is said to hold the wearable in place. This holder is said to include a charging pin and an indicator that could show the charging status. The render shows the case in white, but Samsung is expected to make it available in more shades. It is also expected to support wireless charging.
