A man’s smart ring malfunction ended with an unexpected trip to the hospital and a seriously frustrating missed flight because the battery in his Samsung Galaxy Ring started swelling while it was on his finger. Daniel, a tech content creator who goes by @ZONEofTECH, shared the alarming incident on X, posting photos of the device visibly bulging against his finger.
He explained that the problem started just as he was preparing to board a plane, and the swelling developed in the span of “about 30-40 minutes.” The situation quickly went from inconvenient to an emergency. Daniel posted, “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?”
