Samsung Galaxy Ring Deemed Irreparable, Short-Lived

Teardowns reveal the smart ring's battery cannot be replaced, limiting its lifespan to around two years.

iFixit and other reports confirm the Galaxy Ring's battery is non-replaceable, making repairs impossible.
The ring's lithium-ion battery has a lifespan of approximately 400 cycles, equating to about two years of use.
A press connector design complicates disassembly, as accessing internal components without damage is not feasible.
The Galaxy Ring's construction contributes to e-waste, as it becomes unusable once the battery dies.
Consumers are advised to consider the device's limited lifespan and environmental impact before purchasing.
