Phones Canada is excited to share the latest news about the smart ring market heating up with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy ring launch. As competition intensifies, French startup Circular is making waves with its newly upgraded Ring Slim, claiming it to be the world’s thinnest, lightest, and most powerful smart ring.

Here are the key highlights of Circular’s new and improved Ring Slim:

– The latest version features a better build and an upgraded app experience.
– Boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
– Upgraded scratch-resistant coating for durability against daily wear and tear.
– Redesigned smaller and rounded charging pins for a secure fit.
– Includes a compact USB-C charger for convenient on-the-go charging.
– Maintains its title as the world’s thinnest (2.2mm) and lightest wearable (2 grams).
– Offers a claimed battery life of up to 2 days in Performance mode, extendable to 5–6 days in Eco mode.

Circular has also revamped its companion app, now called Kira Plus, providing users with comprehensive health and activity tracking features. The app combines key metrics like activity, vital signs, sleep, and scores into a single graph for easy monitoring of trends over time. It also includes GPS route tracking, detailed training analysis, and an upgraded sleep tracking algorithm for precise monitoring of sleep stages.

Unlike some competitors that require monthly subscription fees, the Circular Ring Slim offers all features for a one-time payment of approximately $281 (depending on size and coating options).

Smart rings offer a great alternative for those who prefer not to wear smartwatches but still want to track their health and fitness data. With Samsung entering the market soon with its Galaxy ring, we anticipate further growth in this niche market. Stay tuned as we watch how Samsung’s move may influence other players in the industry.
