Overview
- Samsung said the roughly three‑month probe into Daniel Rotar’s ring involved its engineers and an independent external agency.
- Both analyses attributed the swelling to a crack in the internal moulding, though investigators could not determine what led to the crack.
- The company stated it found no evidence of a broader battery safety issue affecting other Galaxy Ring units.
- Reports of heavy battery drain on some rings prompted a December firmware update, and affected owners were told to contact customer support for case‑by‑case review.
- The update follows Rotar’s 2025 ER visit to remove the stuck ring, and some users voiced skepticism about Samsung’s explanation in posts on X.
