As technology becomes more advanced, gadgets become more compact, because we are able to fit more circuits, more transistors into the device than ever before. Humans started with the giant server, then the computer, then the smartphone, then the smartwatch. And now we can make a smart ring that can fit onto your finger? 

Well, the concept of the smart ring is exactly new since the current known player in the smart ring business is Motiv with its Motiv Ring, released back in 2017. 

But Oppo is looking to revive the industry as the latest reports from China show that Oppo has been granted patents to develop its own Smart Ring. 

An insider from China reports that from the QCC Database, they found that Oppo submitted a patent for its own smart ring, and it was approved by Chinese authorities. 

The listing in the database notes that the Oppo Smart Ring is an accessory, not an electronic product, and it is supposed to be a fashion addition to smart glasses. Coincidentally, Oppo just released its first-ever smart glass, the Oppo Air Glass last week. 

The Oppo Air Glass are a pair of AR(assisted reality) smart eyeglasses released by Oppo. The glass features futuristic styling with a single lens design and weighs less than 30 grams. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100 SoC, it features functionalities like weather reminders, schedule reminders, a Health app, and a teleprompter which will benefit users with speeches, presentations, and many more scenarios.

As for other details such as the specs, battery or design of the Oppo Smart Ring, it was not listed within the database. Hopefully, the development of the Oppo Smart Ring is already underway as the concept sounds interesting.
