Determined to explore further, iFixit used heat and a dental pick to break open the Galaxy Ring, removing the resin and plastic coating to reach the interior. Inside, they confirmed the presence of a press connector joining the battery and inductive coil to the circuit board. While the battery was too damaged to accurately determine its capacity, Samsung’s website states that a size 11 ring contains a 19.5 mAh battery, with capacity varying by ring size.
This teardown serves as a reminder that while wearable tech like the Galaxy Ring may be appealing, it comes with limitations—particularly when it comes to longevity. Consumers should be aware that these devices are not built to last much beyond a couple of years, making them a potentially short-lived investment.
