Samsung announced Samsung Galaxy Ring as new wearable device
The Samsung Galaxy Ring, a new wearable device announced by Samsung 'later this year,' has been the subject of recent pricing rumors. According to leaker Yogesh Brar on X and Android Authority, the Galaxy Ring could cost between $300 and $350 in the US market. This price point is higher than some competitors, such as Oura Smart Ring, which starts at $299 and requires a monthly subscription of $5.99 for advanced features.
It's important to note that these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt as they come from an unverified source. Samsung has yet to officially announce the pricing or availability details for the Galaxy Ring.
The Galaxy Ring is expected to join Samsung's growing lineup of wearable devices, including smartwatches like the Galaxy Watch 6 and 7 series. While it remains unclear how this device will differentiate itself from existing offerings, some reports suggest that it could come with a monthly subscription for additional features.
The potential cost of the Galaxy Ring might be a concern for some consumers, especially given that Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 starts at the same price point. However, it's essential to remember that pricing and availability details are not yet confirmed by Samsung. We will continue to monitor developments related to the Samsung Galaxy Ring and provide updates as more information becomes available.

The article contains selective reporting as it only mentions the possible price range and subscription cost for the Samsung Galaxy Ring without disclosing any sources. It also makes editorializing statements such as 'feels out of place' and 'might just click with users'.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author mentions the price of the Samsung Galaxy Ring being higher than some smartwatches without mentioning that it is a completely different type of wearable device (a ring) which has unique features not offered by smartwatches. The author also uses phrases like 'pretty disconcerting pricing speculation' and 'expenses of the Galaxy Ring's earliest adopters will be further increased with a monthly subscription fee', implying that the price is unexpectedly high and a burden to consumers, manipulating readers' emotions.
Of course, the Galaxy Ring made a couple of headlines of its own over the last few months, popping up again in the rumor mill today with some... pretty disconcerting pricing speculation.
What's worse is that the same tipster allegedly told Android Authority that the expenses of the Galaxy Ring's earliest adopters will be further increased with a monthly subscription fee of 'under $10''.
Fallacies

The author makes an appeal to authority by referencing Oura Smart Ring as a direct competitor and mentioning its pricing and subscription fees. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that the Galaxy Ring may end up costing 'more than some of the best smartwatches out there' and that it could make Samsung's life 'quite difficult'.
According to Yogesh Brar on X, the potentially trend-setting Samsung Galaxy Ring is priced at 35,000 rupees in India... What's worse is that the same tipster allegedly told Android Authority that the expenses of the Galaxy Ring's earliest adopters will be further increased with a monthly subscription fee of 'under $10'' in the US.
If both of Brar’s predictions come true, there’s a good chance the Galaxy Ring will prove more expensive than this established and fairly popular industry player, which could make Samsung’s life quite difficult here.
Samsung is launching its first-gen Galaxy Ring in the second half of this year.

Fallacies
(85%)
The author makes several statements that contain potential fallacies. Firstly, the author states 'It was rumored that the device could cost less than the competition, but the recent leak might surprise you.' This statement contains an appeal to surprise fallacy as the author is implying that because a previous rumor suggested a lower price and then a new leak suggests a higher price, readers should be surprised and accept this new information without question. Secondly, in 'So, the speculations do justice to the cost of the Galaxy Ring, for it is priced relatively higher than Oura.', the author makes an argument based on false equivalence as they are comparing two different products with different features and functions but focusing only on their price. Lastly, in 'The Galaxy Ring is going to be a big move for the company because it would pivot the wearable segment away from smartwatches.', the author makes a statement without providing any evidence or reasoning, which is an example of an unsubstantiated claim.
It was rumored that the device could cost less than the competition, but the recent leak might surprise you.
