Gaming-centric smartphone and accessory maker Black Shark is all set to foray into the smart ring market. The Xiaomi-backed company has started teasing the Black Shark RIng on its social media handles on Weibo in China. While the brand hasn’t yet announced complete details, it did reveal some information regarding the battery life of the smart ring.
The smart ring is teased to offer 180 days of usage with the case
According to several official posts on Weibo, the Black Shark Ring will offer a massive 180 days of battery life. The company hasn’t revealed the battery life on a single charge of the ring. The carry case will provide an overall 180 days of battery life. This is an impressive feat as most smart rings in the market offer around seven days of usage after a full charge.
With such a massive battery life, the Black Shark Ring will be going against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. Introduced at MWC 2024, the upcoming Galaxy Ring is claimed to provide between five to nine days of usage.
Black Shark’s first smart ring will have a slim design and comprehensive health monitoring
Black Shark has teased that its smart ring will have a slim profile. The wearable will be just 2.2mm thick and will have a slim black line that goes through the center. It will be available in two color accents at the launch – Silver and Black & Red. The smart ring will offer “Smart Touch” functionality. However, not many details about this feature are available at the moment.
The company promises that the Black Shark Ring will offer “comprehensive health monitoring”. The wearable is touted to put “health at your fingertips” by the company. It will provide heart rate, blood oxygen, HRV tracking, and body temperature monitoring features. Notably, the charging case of the device looks sleek with the ring sitting in the center. There’s an LED light on the charging case to show the charging status.
We can also expect the wearable to be water and dust-proof. The company will continue to tease other features of the Black Shark Ring in the coming days. As of now, there’s no word regarding the pricing and availability details. However, we’ll keep you posted once we have more details.
