iFixit has taken the Samsung Galaxy Ring apart and the conclusion is clear: if the $399/€449 smart ring ever gets damaged or its battery dies, it's useless. There's no way to replace the Galaxy Ring's battery without destroying the entire device, and the rest of the components are soldered together, so good luck with repairs. To take the Galaxy Ring apart, you'll need to melt the epoxy coating inside and remove it with a pickaxe.
Samsung Galaxy Ring Teardown
iFixit also shared a computed tomography (CT) scan of the Galaxy Ring that gives us our best look yet at the insides of the device.
Integrating the multitude of components inside the Galaxy Ring's slender frame is a true marvel of engineering, but it's also its downside, as everything is sealed and manufactured in such a way that you can't make any repairs.
The Galaxy Ring features Nordic Semiconductor's nRF5340 system on a chip that provides 2 Arm Cortex-M33 cores with 512KB of RAM, 1MB of storage, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. There's also a small wireless charging coil and battery next to it, as well as an NFC tag and antenna to transfer the signal between the ring and your paired smartphone.
Galaxy Ring Disassembly Procedure
The interesting thing is that the Galaxy Ring’s charging coil isn’t soldered to the printed circuit board (PCB) like on other smart rings and instead opts for an easy-to-repair snap-on connector. The irony is that the PCB is sealed within the Galaxy Ring’s frame, so there’s no way to replace the component without breaking the ring.
