Let’s expand on this topic, because at first glance, the scenario can seem quite confusing. The official Samsung Newsroom site claims that the Samsung Galaxy Ring is supported by any “Samsung Galaxy smartphone running Android 11.0 or higher and with a minimum of 1.5GB of storage.”
That said, we’ve found that these requirements only apply if you want to take advantage of the Ring’s full feature set. However, we dug deeper into the matter and reached out to Samsung. Here’s what our contacts had to say:
“While Ring will work with any Android device running the Samsung Health app, some aspects of our new Health AI features, such as Energy Rating insights, will not be available to those using a non-Galaxy phone.”

The Samsung Health app can be installed on Android phones with Android version 8.0 or later. Not available for tablets.
Does Samsung Galaxy Ring work with iPhone?
Did you notice that the device requirements don’t mention anything about iOS? Your fear is valid: Samsung Galaxy Ring will not work with iPhone. And that includes every iPhone model. It just won’t work with iOS at all.
