  • Oura Ring 4: New Design Revealed in Certification

    Oura Ring 4: New Design Revealed in Certification

    The competition for dominance in the finger-worn health tracker market is intensifying. As Samsung’s Galaxy Ring becomes available, new information about its primary rival has surfaced. Android Authority discovered the “OA11” in a certification process, strongly suggesting it’s the Oura Ring 4.

    New Certification Details

    The certification documents provide clear evidence. They specifically name the wearable as “Oura Ring 4” and mention another variant with the model number “OA12,” which could be a different design of the ring.

    Design Changes Revealed

    Images in the certification reveal a design shift from the Oura Gen 3 and its Horizon variant. The Oura Ring 4 features a slightly raised middle section with a clear gradient towards the edges, replacing the seamless transition seen in the previous model. The outer shell appears metallic, and there is still a transparent sensor cover, likely made from synthetic resin.

    The sensor layout seems to have been altered, though specific details are scarce. It’s uncertain if the Oura Ring 4 will introduce new sensors beyond the skin temperature, SpO2, and heart rate sensors found in the Oura Gen 3.

    Size Options and Availability

    There are reportedly numerous size options, with the ring tested in sizes 7, 9, 13, and 15. This suggests that the Oura Ring 4 will likely be available in sizes ranging from at least 7 to 15. The listed images supposedly show a size 10 ring.

    While Oura has not officially announced the launch details for the Ring 4, the ongoing certification process indicates that the release is imminent.

    The upcoming information should help determine whether the Oura Ring 4 will retain its lead in the smart ring market or if the new design is merely a cosmetic enhancement.

  • Samsung One UI 7 Release in July: New Gallery Icon Leaked

    Samsung One UI 7 Release in July: New Gallery Icon Leaked

    Samsung’s One UI is frequently recognized as one of the leading Android skins available. With the anticipation building for One UI 7, it seems the wait for a glimpse of this new software might be drawing to a close.

    Anticipated Beta Program

    Ice Universe, a dependable source for Samsung leaks, recently indicated that the One UI 7 beta program is likely to commence in late July or early August, barring any unforeseen delays. This prediction stands in contrast to another tipster, Tarun Vats, who forecasted a September rollout in the US, Korea, and Germany. Given Ice Universe’s reputable history, the earlier timeline appears more plausible.

    Inspired by iOS?

    Preliminary details about One UI 7 suggest it may incorporate elements from Apple’s iOS. Expected changes include an updated notification panel, a revamped quick settings section, and new quick actions on the lock screen.

    Adding to the speculation, an image has emerged online, purportedly showing a redesigned Gallery app icon for One UI 7. Shared by @chunvn8888, the new icon moves away from the traditional monochrome design, opting for a more vibrant palette.

    Instead of the usual red background with white petal shapes, the new design features a white base with each petal in a different color, reminiscent of Google’s app icons.

    Icon Revamps and New Features

    This leak suggests Samsung might be overhauling other app icons as well. Similar updates could be expected for existing monochrome icons for apps like Email, Notes, and Camera. Additionally, there are murmurs about a native app-locking feature, akin to those found in other Android skins.

    Samsung’s annual SDC event, typically held in October, might serve as the platform for the stable release of One UI 7. Reflecting on last year’s schedule, Samsung unveiled One UI 6 at the SDC and completed the rollout within the same month.
