Stuck finger and Galaxy Ring, you should have read the instructions!

If you ever find yourself having trouble removing the Galaxy Ring from your finger, remember that Samsung has you covered.

A few days ago, a post on X quickly went viral. And for good reason, it reported the misadventures of a traveler who was very annoyed because the battery of his Galaxy Ring connected ring had started to swell, trapping his finger.

But the panic could have been avoided with a simple internet search, since Samsung had already planned for this scenario, providing a technical support page explaining what to do in the event of a stuck ring, even without a faulty battery. And if the ring needs to be cut, the manufacturer even provides a small diagram showing exactly where to cut to be sure not to touch the battery and risk an unfortunate accident. Samsung even specifies that such a procedure should only be carried out by a medical professional.

Regarding the incident that sparked the controversy, even though the post received more than 15 million views in two days, it is far from a scandal, as Samsung assures that cases of battery swelling are "extremely rare."
