The Samsung Galaxy Ring was announced on July 10 at the Galaxy Unpacked event. It is the Korean company’s first wearable smart ring with a range of health and fitness monitoring features. It was originally speculated that the Galaxy Ring would only be compatible with Galaxy smartphones. However, recent claims on social media suggest that it may also work with other Android smartphones via the Galaxy Wearable app.
Samsung Galaxy Ring Compatibility

There also appears to be an option to view smart ring details, reset and update the software via the app. Additionally, you will also see the Find Loop option, but it is not clear whether it works or not.
According to Samsung’s FAQ section on the Galaxy Ring purchase page, the wearable is compatible with Samsung smartphones running Android 11.0 or later. According to the official support page, devices must have at least 1.5GB of RAM to be compatible with the Galaxy Ring.
