Most health-based wearables are either smartwatches or fitness trackers. It appears that Samsung It is possible that the company may be trying to get into a new market. According to reports in South Korea, they are working on an intelligent ring.
The concept of smart rings isn’t new. Oura is the most popular smart ring and is an excellent alternative to fitness trackers and smartwatches. It is also very fashionable and can easily be worn as a fashion accessory.
Korea reports that Samsung is developing such a device that can monitor the user’s health and fitness activity. USPTO has granted a patent to the company for a device that can monitor heart beat and ECG. The ring also acts as remote control for any smartphone, tablet or television.
Oura, as we have said, is almost the default company everyone associates with in smart rings. Samsung were to enter that space, they wouldn’t have that much competition. Of course, whether or not they will be able to sell as many smart rings as smartwatches remains to be seen, so we’ll just have to wait and see. You should take this information with a grain.
