Samsung has now sent out a statement clarifying that this an \u201cextremely rare case.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSamsung has retrieved the affected device for investigation\n<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Samsung reached out to us with the following statement: \u201cThe safety of customers is our top priority. This is an extremely rare case, and we are in direct contact with Mr. Rotar to retrieve the product and learn about the concerns.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Rotar had shared what happened with his Galaxy Ring on X yesterday and that post has now gone viral with more than 15 million views in just one day. Per his latest <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZONEofTECH\/status\/1973019200563069276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">update<\/a>, Samsung provided assistance for the travel disruption he faced due to this issue. The company has also collected the Galaxy Ring from him for further investigation.\n<\/p>\n<p>He does point out that prior to this, the Galaxy Ring&#8217;s battery had been acting \u201cweird\u201d with excessive battery drain. Several other users have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-ring-seems-to-have-another-serious-battery-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">complained about irregular battery drain<\/a> on the Galaxy Ring, but it&#8217;s important to note that correlation doesn&#8217;t equal causation.\n<\/p>\n<p>Samsung will surely get to the bottom of this and provide a more comprehensive reason behind what has transpired. The company has sold millions of Galaxy Ring units over the past year with no incidents, so aside from the post blowing up (pun intended) on X, it&#8217;s best not to read too much into it.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Galaxy Ring has been in the news quite a bit since yesterday, and not for the reasons&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,30179,19,17,279,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-97204","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-galaxy-ring","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-mobile","13":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
