Wang Teng's Startup ISHO Ring Leaks Hardware Specs Ahead of Launch
Hardware specifications for the ISHO Ring, the first product from Wang Teng's startup, have leaked ahead of its October 29 launch. The smart ring features an Apollo 330B MCU, high-end PPG sensors, and aerospace-grade titanium construction. This leak highlights the growing market competition in smart wearables, particularly in health-focused form factors like smart rings. By aiming for high-end specifications and edge AI capabilities, the startup is positioning itself directly against established market leaders like Oura. The ISHO Ring packs an Apollo 330B MCU, 2MB of flash storage, and 32MB of internal memory, alongside sapphire glass and internal/external aviation-grade titanium shells. It is designed to support edge AI models and comprehensive health monitoring while maintaining long battery life.
## BACKGROUND
A smart ring is a wearable electronic device packed with sensors to track health metrics like sleep quality, heart rate, and physical activity. Key components inside include a microcontroller unit (MCU) for processing data, and a PPG (photoplethysmography) sensor that uses light to measure blood flow changes through the skin.
