Ahhh…this is…not good. My Samsung Galaxy Ring’s battery started swelling. While it’s on my finger 😬. And while I’m about to board a flight 😬 Now I cannot take it off and this thing hurts. Any quick suggestions @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS?
Closeup. You can see the battery expanding. Not great for something that’s now stuck to my finger
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Holy shit dude. Hope you get this resolved soon. 🙏
@Patrick_Rambles @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Thanks Patrick! 🙌🏻
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Was there a battery health indicator? How long have you had the ring? If this happened due to lack of maintenance, then is it user error, or...
@sadboystoic @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Had it since January 2025. No clue on the battery health (never checked it and not even sure if that’s visible in the app). I think it definitely had some battery issue before, as it stopped lasting for more than 1.5 days. When I first got it, it was close to the advertised 7
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungMobileUS @ZONEofTECH We're sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your Galaxy Ring, Daniel. As we take such matters very seriously, we'd like to escalate this for you. To get this started, can you please send us a DM? ^AM https://x.com/messages/compose...
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Go up to the nearest restaurant and tell them you need a stick of butter warmed for 30 seconds. Finger the butter and then wiggle that thang off.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Id keep a glass of water handy to submerge it if it starts to heat up.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS You look like the type of man who wears rings
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS This is what you get for not buying Apple. 😁
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS You probably should not be getting on a flight with that. You need some ice and a lawyer.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Needs a magnetic-held emergency breakaway for if this happens. Either in the app, or tap on opposite sides of the ring 10 times to release the magnet. Failing that, could probably still force it apart. Destroys the ring, saves the finger.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS This happened to me with an oura. I cut it off with a dremel. If you do this be sure you do not cut the battery, and slide a file underneath so you don’t slice your finger. I just saved you 4 hours in urgent care! Good luck 😖
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS What a retarded product. And you’re even more retarded for buying it!
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Dental floss. Loop it around the ring. Use the eye of a needle to push it through.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS who would've thought that putting a battery that could expand and explode on a ring would be not such a good idea
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Lubrication, soap is a good emergency lube Thread a piece of fabric underneath, work around the finger in a circle while pulling slowly
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS This is a great way to blow your finger off. The swelling is the only thing that kept thag battery from exploding in flame.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS I'm glad that didn't turn into a degloved finger. People should really, really stop wearing metal rings. Adding lithium to the equation is just asking for problems.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Cut your finger off and take it off
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Well that's what you get for being a retard and buying a ring a battery.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS What is the purpose of this device
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS literal cursed item
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Just get the neuralink bro
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Good instincts taking this to X dot com instead of a medical professional. You have 9 more fingers
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS I take it you are a bit of a fan of the lord of the rings saga?
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS this guy is on twitter instead of asking for help from the people around him
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Use lube or soap and wiggle it off
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS What's the point of a smart ring though? Just curious.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS I've been playing cyberpunk pretty steady for the last few weeks and I can tell you this is only the beginning of the inherent dangers present with human embedded technology. It's just a game but it's not far off from where things will be in a dozen or so years.
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS this is so messed up. it's one thing for a battery in a phone or even smartwatch to expand like this (at least you can take out of your pocket or off your wrist) but a ring.... very glad to see you got it removed ok https://x.com/ZONEofTECH/statu...
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS Well, this isn't ideal, is it?
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS That is a new fear I didn't know I needed to unlock. I thought my wedding ring while pregnant was bad enough! 😳
@ZONEofTECH @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS I hope you survive but I’d also like some more sensational photos, first.
