SAMSUNG GALAXY RING

The future of wearables has never been more exciting, and having the power of a small computer literally wrapped around your finger could change the way we approach our lives.

Nothing’s fully official yet, but as we draw closer to its potential release date, perhaps it’s time to explore what it can offer us.

First off, the ring would very likely offer the standard metrics in tracking — sleep, heart rate, and respiratory rate. It’s also rumoured to be able to track workouts as well as fertility, but only time will tell just how comprehensive these features will be.

Based on the success of Samsung’s smartwatches, it only stands to reason that the smart rings will perform equally well. And this is a burgeoning market with consumers who want the functionality of a smartwatch without the cumbersome form factor.

NOTHING EAR (2)

The Nothing Ear is here, and it’s going to position itself as a refinement of the Ear (2). It features the company’s most advanced driver system to date, with a custom 11mm dynamic driver, ceramic diaphragm, and an improved dual-chamber design. In other words, these earbuds will offer Nothing’s best audio experience to date.
