TL;DR

  • There seems to be conflicting information about whether the Galaxy Ring supports non-Samsung phones.
  • Samsung told us that the smart ring indeed works with any Android smartphone, but its website states otherwise.
  • YouTuber M Brandon Lee posted a video confirming that the ring supports non-Galaxy devices.
Samsung previously told us that the Galaxy Ring works with any Android phone. However, a Samsung website states that the smart ring requires a Galaxy phone. So what’s the truth, then?

Fortunately, YouTuber M Brandon Lee has posted a video on X, indeed showing that the Galaxy Ring works on a non-Samsung Android phone. Check out the clip below.

There are some reviews out there claiming that the Samsung Galaxy Ring only works on a Samsung device, therefore it doesn’t work on other Android devices.

This is untrue.

The YouTuber adds that you’ll need to install the Galaxy Wearable app on your non-Samsung phone to connect to the Galaxy Ring. Nevertheless, Lee’s video comes after the Samsung newsroom website stated that the smart ring requires a Galaxy phone. The website wasn’t referring to a specific feature, either. Check out the screenshot below.

In any event, it’s clear from the video that the Galaxy Ring doesn’t require a Samsung phone. But you do need a Galaxy device if you want features like Find My Ring functionality, your Energy Score, and Wellness Tips.
