New from Amazfit – a smart ring that is ahead of the Samsung Galaxy Ring
If we talk about smartwatches, we have to talk about Amazfit watches; This brand has managed to carve a niche among the best in the advanced health devices sector. So when a brand like this decides to bet on a new type of wearable device, you should understand how important it is.
Indeed, Amazfit has joined the smart ring trend; except that its first device will actually arrive before many of its competitors. For now, the benchmark in this sector is the Oura ring, but the Samsung Galaxy Ring is expected to launch later this year.
Amazfit is set to overtake Samsung, at least in some markets. The launch of the Helio has not been confirmed in Spain, probably due to the legal and bureaucratic obstacles typical of such a new device; but at least now we know how much it will cost and when it will be released in the US.

Amazfit Helio will be launched on May 15 in the US. price $299.99; Therefore, in the event of a launch in Europe, a similar price in euros should be expected, as is usually the case in the technology sector. This is a startling statement as it suggests that Amazfit will “shoot first” as the price of the Galaxy Ring is not yet known.
For this price, the Amazfit Helio promises to offer many of the features of a smartwatch, but without the need to wear it on your wrist. Of course, Amazfit would prefer that we carry it, as the company has emphasized ecosystem created between her watch and Helium; to such an extent that the Helios can be purchased at a reduced price along with some Amazfit models. Users who purchase the Cheetah Pro or T-Rex Ultra will be able to purchase the Helio for just $149.99, half the price.
The Helio ring is part of the Amazfit ecosystem.
Amazfit Helio allows us to monitor our health 24 hours a day and is specially designed for athletes.
