Now, another Galaxy Ring has swelled up over a period of time, but here the South Korean behemoth does not appear to be at fault.<\/p>\n<p>A Galaxy Ring owner complains of the device&#8217;s battery swelling up discreetly months after it became defunct<\/p>\n<p>A Redditor who goes by the username u\/MaybeNotThrowing recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/samsung\/comments\/1quatzl\/samsung_rings_battery_swelling\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">detailed his harrowing Galaxy Ring experience<\/a>, one that could have resulted in an injury.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, our protagonist purchased the Galaxy Ring as soon as it launched, presumably in July 2024. However, the device&#8217;s battery stopped holding a charge roughly nine months after purchase, which would be somewhere around April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the Redditor kept on wearing his Galaxy Ring as he &#8220;got used to the feeling of it&#8221; on his finger. Earlier this week, however, the Redditor tried to plug in the device to a charger, but was surprised to discover that the device would not fit. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Galaxy Ring had surreptitiously swollen up, essentially turning into a &#8220;ticking time bomb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even so, we should point out that Samsung does not appear to be at fault here. After all, our protagonist could have easily replaced his Galaxy Ring&#8217;s battery during the ensuing warranty period. What&#8217;s more, he deliberately chose to keep wearing a product that had turned defective. This anecdote serves as a warning of sorts to tackle products whose batteries have turned defective with utmost care and caution. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a id=\"bizdev_mobile_3_link\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"noskim d-md-none\" href=\"\" rel=\"sponsored\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"bizdev_mobile_3_image\" style=\"display:inline-block\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/placeholder-mobile.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a id=\"bizdev_mid_desktop_link\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"noskim d-none d-lg-block\" href=\"\" rel=\"sponsored\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"bizdev_mid_desktop_image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/placeholder-desktop.png\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as we discussed in a recent post, Samsung&#8217;s escalating legal fight with Oura, the uncontested apex predator in the smart rings sphere, over supposed instances of patent infringement is <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/samsung-galaxy-ring-2-likely-delayed-amid-mounting-headwinds\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">now delaying the release of the Galaxy Ring 2<\/a>.
