- A teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Ring has revealed that it can’t be repaired, much like the Oura Ring range.
- The Galaxy Ring’s battery couldn’t be removed without destroying it, suggesting that the ring is destined for a landfill if its battery dies.
Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Ring, marking its first foray into the smart ring market. Unfortunately, it looks like the wearable is effectively consigned to the landfill if it’s defective or the battery has died.
iFixit conducted a teardown of the Galaxy Ring and declared that the device was “unrepairable.” The website also noted that, much like the Oura Ring series, you can’t get to the Galaxy Ring battery without destroying it. Check out the photo of the battery, charging coil, and press connector below following disassembly.
