Samsung Galaxy Ring could work with any Android-powered smartphone: Details

Samsung has been gradually making its ecosystem a closed garden. The devices from South Korean electronics maker, such as earbuds and smartwatches, are tied to its platform only. Naturally, the same has been expected from the Galaxy Ring. However, there are reports claiming that Samsung’s new-age health-and-fitness tracker will work with any Android-powered smartphone.

Samsung’s listing page for the Galaxy Ring on its website in the US, where the Galaxy Ring is available for pre-order currently, states that the “Galaxy Ring is supported on Samsung Galaxy smartphones over OS version (Android 11.0).” However, according to Samsung’s Newsroom post mentioned that the Galaxy Ring can be paired with “a smartphone” running on Android 11.0 or above.
