Battery issues with Galaxy Ring | iOutlet

A Galaxy Ring user faced an emergency when the device's battery swelled, sending them to hospital. A troubling incident with a wearable device Samsung's Galaxy Ring, launched in 2024, was designed to monitor users' health. But a recent incident has highlighted a potential safety issue. One user reported that their ring's battery swelled while on their finger, causing pain and making it impossible to remove. The situation led to a hospital visit, where the ring was removed with medical help.

Incident details

Daniel, a tech creator, shared on social media that the problem started as he was about to board a flight. Initial attempts to remove the ring with soap and cream failed, making things worse. At the hospital, the ring was eventually removed using ice and medical lubricant. Images show the battery visibly distorted after removal.

Possible causes

Daniel speculated on what caused the battery to swell, pointing to Hawaii's intense heat, exposure to salt water or a faulty battery as possible culprits. The Galaxy Ring's water resistance does not cover the corrosive effects of salt water, which may have contributed to the issue.

What happens next

Samsung has not yet responded publicly to the incident. The situation raises questions about the durability and safety of wearable devices, especially in extreme conditions. Users are waiting for the company to respond with future measures to prevent similar occurrences.
