Use the sizing kit first. Ring sizes don't map one to one to jewelry sizes. 2. Pair the ring with an Android phone through Samsung Health. Samsung says Energy Score needs an Android phone on Android 11 or later, the Samsung Health app and a Samsung Account ([Samsung Mobile Press](https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/health-assistant-beta-ai-powered-wellness)). 3. Wear it to bed. Most of what the ring tells you starts from sleep. 4. Try the gestures. Samsung lists a double pinch to control the phone camera and alarms, and Find My Ring if you lose it ([Samsung Newsroom](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-galaxy-ring-watch7-watch-ultra-wearables-provide-intelligent-health-wellness-data)).

Samsung says it won't give medical advice ([Samsung Newsroom](https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/health-assistant-beta-ai-powered-wellness)). - **Gemini:** Samsung has put Gemini on Galaxy Watch8, but that is the watch. Samsung does not list Gemini on the ring itself ([Samsung Support](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003405/)). Samsung says health information from the device and app "should not be treated as medical advice," and this guide makes no medical claims ([Samsung Newsroom](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-galaxy-ring-watch7-watch-ultra-wearables-provide-intelligent-health-wellness-data)). ## Samsung Galaxy Ring FAQ: what it can do and what it works with ### Does the Galaxy Ring need a subscription?
