boAt is set to launch a new smart ring in India later this week. The boAt Smart Ring Active promises groundbreaking affordability with a launch price of just Rs. 2,999. Scheduled to debut on July 20th, customers can pre-book the device starting July 18th via Amazon, Flipkart, and boAt’s official website.
This new offering significantly undercuts its predecessor, the boAt Smart Ring Gen 1, which was priced at Rs. 8,999 and is currently unavailable, suggesting a phased-out strategy in favour of the more accessible Smart Ring Active.
