Honor's current product line covers various technology categories, including mobile phones, watches, headphones, laptops, and more. According to CNMO, Honor may release a mysterious new wearable product in March, combined with industry trends, this new product is likely to be a smart ring.
Recently, a digital blogger broke the news that there will be good-looking new products in Honor Wear in March, which is not a common smart watch, but a very delicate little thing. The blogger also emphasized in the comment area that the new product doesn't seem to be headphones, but rather a more delicate small item anyway. In this regard, netizens have started to imagine, some guess it is a smart ring, some think it is a smart earring, and even some netizens said that it will not be a nose ring, right?
Judging from the "wearable", "exquisite", "good-looking" and "small items", netizens' speculations seem to be fine. However, as a technology brand, Honor will naturally bring the concept of technology and intelligence into it, so the probability that the new product is a smart ring is greater. You know, smart rings are nothing new (for example, Oura Ring, a smart ring launched by Finnish technology company Oura Health that can monitor and evaluate users' personal health and sleep data in real time, as of March 2022, the cumulative sales of this product have exceeded one million), but among mainstream technology brands, except for Samsung, no other company has announced that it will set foot in this field.
At the Samsung press conference not long ago, in addition to the release of the S24 series models, Samsung also announced the first teaser of the new smart ring - Galaxy Ring, which marks the upcoming launch of Samsung's first smart ring. In addition, another technology giant, Apple, also has a patent layout in the field of smart rings.

The West ** believes that the actions of Apple and Samsung show that smart rings, as an emerging smart wearable product, have been recognized by technology hardware giants. Driven by these large companies, the smart ring industry may enter a period of rapid development. According to ABI Research, global smart ring shipments were 17.2 million in 2022 and are expected to exceed 50 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 21 from 2023 to 20289%。
It can be seen from this that it is entirely possible, and even necessary, for Honor to launch a smart ring.
