Oura Ring 5 leaks with higher price and four major upgrades

According to the latest information from Dealabs the Oura Ring 5 will be officially unveiled on Thursday, May 28, with deliveries scheduled to begin on June 4. The version in silver or black will be available for $399 or €429, a price increase of $50 or €30 compared to the Oura Ring 4 ($349 on Amazon). 

The Oura Ring 5 in brushed silver, matte black, gold or rose gold is said to cost $499 or €529. Oura is said to justify the higher entry-level price with a series of upgrades, starting with a thinner body that is intended to improve wearing comfort. Despite its more compact dimensions, Oura is said to incorporate larger sensors, which should enable more precise measurement of heart rate, blood oxygen saturation and skin temperature.

The Oura Ring 5 is said to track over 50 health metrics in total, including sleep, stress, activity and female cycle. Oura integrates over 40 third-party apps, allowing the collected data to be synchronized with Strava, for example. The battery life is said to increase from five to seven days. The most significant innovation, however, is the improved Oura Advisor, an artificial intelligence that evaluates the collected data to give users personalized recommendations to improve their sleep or fitness, for example.
