ŌURA Ring 4 series

Ōura Ring 4.

Finnish healthcare brand ŌURA earlier this week made its debut in India with the launch of the Oura Ring 4 series.

Unlike the smart watch, ŌURARing 4 is designed for everyday life. It acts as a personal health companion and can track more than 50 health and wellness metrics.

With the data, users will get clear, personalised insights through the Oura App (iOS and Android).

Powered by ŌURA Smart Sensing technology, the Ring 4 uses smart algorithms and research-grade sensors that adjust to each person's unique body - including finger shape, skin tone, and other individual differences. Its multi-wavelength sensing system and 18 signal pathways give a clearer, more reliable picture of the user's body, turning those signals into more precise, personalised health insights.

Oura Ring 4 is crafted from lightweight titanium with recessed sensors for all-day comfort, including during sleep. It is available in 12 sizes (4-15) and six colours-- Black, Silver, Stealth, Brushed Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold.

The new ŌURA Ring 4 series in silver and black colours costs Rs 28,900. Other models-- stealth, brushed silver, gold, and rose gold-- are priced at Rs 39,900.

Further, OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro use advanced AI algorithms to monitor noise in real time, blocking out the background hubbub instantly, while users can also choose between light, moderate and maximum ANC.

Each Bud weighs a little over four grams and features an IP55 rating. OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro also supports slide controls for volume. Users can also tap a Bud to start a playlist instantly with Spotify Tap, double-tap a Bud to take a photo and even tap a Bud to start their chosen AI assistant. Users with OnePlus devices running OxygenOS 15.0.1 or later can also use the HeyMelody app to enable seamless real-time translation between languages such as English, Hindi, Spanish and French.
