Honor Developing Smart Ring Following Samsung’s Wearable Debut

Chinese electronics manufacturer Honor has confirmed its entry into the smart ring market, shortly after Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Ring wearable. Revealed during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung’s offering comes equipped with various sensors designed to monitor health metrics, including heart rate.

Honor’s CEO, George Zhao, revealed plans for their smart ring, emphasizing its role in the company’s broader health-focused strategy. While specific details remain scarce, the move signals Honor’s commitment to diversifying its product lineup beyond smartphones, with wearables being a notable expansion area.

Following its separation from Huawei in 2020, Honor has aggressively pursued growth opportunities, particularly in international markets. With a strong foothold in wearables, including smartwatches, the addition of a smart ring could complement its existing portfolio and further integrate with its health app ecosystem.

Zhao underscored the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing health insights for users. By leveraging AI-enabled applications, Honor aims to deliver personalized training programs tailored to individual habits and health data. This approach aligns with the company’s vision of leveraging technology to empower users with actionable insights for improved well-being.

During MWC, Honor showcased its AI capabilities, including innovative eye-tracking technology integrated into smartphones to enhance user experience and functionality.
