There’s no way to replace the battery without breaking the device. iFixit performed a teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Ring and the conclusion is clear – if...
Lmao bruh, that thing is the size of a single screw, you expected them to hold it together with what exactly? Of course it's all glued and soldered up.
I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I'm not opposed to wearables, but we're just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band.
Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech's application. I'd say we shouldn't even produce something we couldn't then subsequently fix if the need should arise.
I'm ditching ōura for this exact bullshit, and it's for this same scam that I'm not getting the Samsung unit.
Yeah, it's not repairable. None of them are. My Ōura g2 is still running, but I'll be in the market when its battery goes completely sour.
Anyway. Ultrahuman. Unless they enshittified also. Maybe a different ring if they can charge off a standard Qi rig AND it has no slimeball subscription scam.
