Does Galaxy Ring have a fingerprint sensor?

No. The fingerprint sensor appears only in a Samsung patent application published on 15 October 2026, and Samsung has not announced a ring with this feature.

How would Samsung's fingerprint ring detect that it is being worn?

A spring or magnet loaded button on the inside of the ring is pressed by the finger when worn. The pressed button wakes the fingerprint sensor, and the released button tells a connected device the ring has come off.
