SAMSUNG Galaxy Ring buyers who have larger fingers will literally have the advantage when the device launches later this month.
An unexpected bonus has been revealed, reserved for the two largest sizes of the new smart gadget.
Samsung officially launched the Galaxy Ring on Wednesday with a host of sleep and health tracking features.
One of the main announcements was that the wearable will have a battery life of up to seven days on a single charge – considerably longer than most smartwatches on the market.
It has now turned out that only the larger sizes will be able to reach this peak.
They’ll also weigh a little more, but they’ll all cost the same: £399/$399.
And there are nine sizes of the Samsung Galaxy Ring available for purchase.
They’re based on standard US sizes, but Samsung says they’re a little different than regular rings and recommends customers try out their free sizing kit before ordering.
The two largest sizes, size 12 and size 13, support up to seven days of battery life.
This is because they can accommodate larger batteries.

And as a result, both are the heaviest at 3g.
The other sizes – 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 – will have a smaller battery, which lasts up to six days.
Exact weights for each size below 11 vary.
Here is a complete list of available sizes and weights:
- Size 5 – 2.3g
- Size 6 – 2.4g
- Size 7 – 2.4g
- Size 8 – 2.6g
- Size 9 – 2.7g
- Size 10 – 2.8g
- Size 11 – 3g
- Size 12 – 3g
- Size 13 – 3g
The size of the charging case that comes with it will also be different for everyone.
Samsung recommends that people wear the sample ring for more than 24 hours to get a real feel for the device and get the perfect fit, day and night.
There are three protrusions on the inside of the ring where the sensors are located on the actual Galaxy Ring.
They need to be turned towards the palm of your hand.
