Samsung 's Galaxy Ring is the company's first foray into the smart ring market.

Oura , Xiaomi , Ultrahuman and RingConn are some other smart ring producers.

Smart rings are light, comfortable and not obvious but are still able to capture key health tracking metrics.

Unlike other companies, Samsung will not be charging a subscription fee each month after the initial purchase.

Samsung has lost considerable market share in one of the world's key smartphone markets, China .

This is mainly because of the company depending on the Google app store, as it uses Android .

After Google left China in 2010 , Chinese clients were unable to keep using the app store.

Samsung is happy to compete with other smartphone producers such as Oppo and Vivo.
