Samsung owners told they’ll have to BIN expensive gadgets worth hundreds as experts uncover mega battery mistake

OWNERS of smart rings are in for a rotten surprise when it comes to replacing the batteries in their pricey miniatures.

The wearable gadgets, such as Samsung’s Galaxy Ring or the Oura, range between £300 and £500 ($300-$550).

Samsung released its first-ever Galaxy Ring in July this year, but alternatives such as Oura have been around for much longer

But once the battery is worn out, they cannot be fixed, tech expert Shahram Mokhtari at iFixit has warned in a recent blog post.

“The Galaxy Ring – and all smart rings like it – comes with a huge string attached: It’s 100% disposable,” he said, before adding: “The culprit? The lithium ion batteries.”

Lithium ion batteries are lightweight and rechargeable, and are used in all kinds of electronics.

But they’re not immune to the natural degradation that batteries undergo.

This means that one day, it will stop working properly.

If they cannot be replaced, then the device is rendered useless.

“It’s impossible to fix a smart ring because once it dies, you can’t get to the battery without destroying the device in the process,” Mokhtari explained.

“The unfortunate truth is that most people still don’t know that lithium ion batteries have an expiry date attached to them.

“It’s not by accident that the Oura Ring specifically excludes batteries from their one year warranty.”

Samsung released its first-ever Galaxy Ring in July this year, but alternatives such as Oura have been around for much longer.

Customers of Oura, which came out with its first smart ring in 2015, have long complained about the battery life and lack of customer support in response.

A Reddit post from two years ago reveals Oura ring users who couldn’t use key features like sleep tracking because the battery “doesn’t make it through the night”.

In the replies, another customer wrote: “Same thing with mine. I contacted support. They said warranty ran out a couple weeks ago.

“Their solution? Buy a new ring. No thanks. I’ll just be done with Oura.”

Another added: “Same here. They offered $50 off the price of a new one. No thanks.”

The Sun has contacted Samsung and Oura for comment.

Why do batteries get worse over time?

Here's what you need to know...

  • Most gadgets run on lithium-ion batteries
  • Over time, the amount of charge this type of battery can hold gets smaller
  • That means you need to charge your device more often because they hold less charge
  • Batteries have two electrode points – the cathode and the anode
  • To charge a battery, the ions inside the battery are forced from the cathode to the anode
  • When you use a battery, it moves in the reverse direction
  • This process wears away at the structure of the anode, reducing its ability to function correctly
  • But the process also builds up a kind of salt on the cathode when charging
  • As this build-up grows, the battery will accept less charge over time
  • It’s estimated that between 500 and 1,000 full charge-cycles will reduce a battery’s maximum capacity by roughly 20%

The Ashton Jeanty Bears Smoke Just Got Even Thicker

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
