Xiaomi is gearing up to unveil a new smart ring designed to automatically adjust its size to fit the user’s finger. Choosing the right size for smart rings can be a major challenge for users, often requiring the use of complex measuring tools and navigating through a range of different sizes.
After finding the right ring, switching it to another finger may become difficult, or you may face difficulty in gifting it to someone else. Now, imagine being able to gift an engagement ring that automatically adjusts to the size of the chosen person’s finger, without the need to measure their finger circumference beforehand.
The upcoming smart ring from Xiaomi appears to be designed to solve this problem, according to its innovative design revealed in a new patent. According to information from the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration, the ring is made of a flexible material, likely PVC or rubber, along with a spring mechanism that allows it to dynamically adjust its size.
This innovation marks a new step, as Xiaomi’s smart ring can fit anyone regardless of their finger size. However, the benefits of the smart ring are not limited to its flexibility, but also include a range of advanced features. The ring supports various technologies including Wi-Fi, cellular networks from 2G to 5G, as well as NFC and UWB technologies.
Additionally, the ring comes equipped with a variety of sensors, including proximity, light, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic, and temperature sensors. Thanks to these advanced technologies, Xiaomi’s smart ring can enhance health tracking, communicate with other devices, and even potentially control your smartphone camera.
While Xiaomi leads this innovative direction, Oura is also exploring similar adjustable designs, indicating that the future of smart rings may finally offer a solution to the traditional size problem that users have long struggled with.
