For those of us in an age where technology is both social and wearable, and where our smart accessories are miniature life companions, the anticipation of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring has taken on new dimensions. In light of news that it features a novel ‘Lost mode’, the wait to get our paws on the Galaxy Ring has just got a whole lot more interesting. It could be that we are about to discover a new way of dealing with lost belongings that will make an integral part of our lives, such as a smart accessory, even easier to return to the familiar.
The Galaxy Ring from Samsung will soon be counted among the family of smart devices, built on the premise of making our lives easier. But it might be the Lost mode – a feature as thoughtful as it is practical – that will truly set it apart.
A new version of the Samsung Find app now comes with the seemingly reserved-for-the-angels ability to return your Galaxy Ring: Lost mode, to be exact. A little digging into the code for the Android app by an enterprising teardown caught clues as to what might be possible. You’ll finally be able to make your ring blink — and lock down your Samsung account if the ring falls into the wrong hands.
Pressing the app and going towards the Lost mode feature, the Galaxy Ring owner can relax because a light inside the ring will begin to blink and in this way it helps you to search for the ring. Furthermore, there is also the possibility of someone beyond you discovering the lost ring and trying to access your Samsung account, but don’t worry: during that time the Galaxy Ring will be inactive.
In doing so, the company anticipates a problem that competitor Oura currently tackles by instituting a ‘Restricted Mode’ for its Oura Ring that enforces a factory reset when it’s attempted to pair with a new device. Galaxy Ring has a Lost mode, complete with a visual aid. It’s a deterrent against thievery that no other smart accessory offers.
Not only that, as we increasingly integrate more and more technology into the fabric of our lives, the need for security yearns to be answered. Samsung Galaxy Ring’s Lost mode seeks to do just that, by allowing users to protect their personal information even in the case that they are physically separated from their gadget. This feature not only highlights a new era for smart technology, but illustrates Samsung’s commitment to user safety and convenience.
There are no firm datelines, but the best rumours point to a big Samsung launch event on July 10th that could be the moment of the Galaxy Ring’s unveiling. Users will be getting a lot more than a fancy piece of jewellery if this APK teardown is correct, but a fairly sophisticated piece of security hardware.

The Galaxy Ring therefore may be considered more than an evolutionary step for wearable technology. It’s a leap toward user experience-driven security made wearable, effective and easy. The Lost mode tells us about the extent to which Samsung is willing to go to give a great user experience. The fact that it can be enveloped in a small, stylish ring that’s both wearable and convenient, is the icing on the cake. Beautiful as it is, it will not only look good on your finger, but it will also add extra peace of mind so that you no longer need to worry about losing it.
