EcoFlow, the company that created the world’s first eco-friendly portable power generators, has announced the official arrival of its products in the Middle East, and is preparing to team up with local dealers.

So what are EcoFlow’s products all about, and what makes them so useful? Put simply, the plug-and-play power stations are large, portable battery banks — think of them as a scaled-up version of the portable USB backup batteries available for phones and laptops.

EcoFlow Power Kits feature large lithium-ion batteries, with base capacities of 2KWh, with expansion modules available to boost that to 15KWh. However, unlike smaller smartphone batteries, EcoFlow’s solutions act more like a traditional petrol generator — except far cleaner and quieter — as they feature built-in inverters that will easily cope with the power demands of fridge freezers, right up to (depending upon model) an entire house or apartment.

As well as recreation-focused portable power packs, the company also produces a wide range of products to enable households to survive off-grid — or at least smooth out patchy mains supplies — an especially useful feature in countries such as Lebanon, where people often encounter severe delivery issues due to the lack of a government-provided power supply.

The modular components are designed for permanent installation, and include an AC/DC Smart Distribution Panel, Power Kit Console and various add-ons, including solar panels. Unlike building a traditional system of this type, EcoFlow’s kits are inherently safe, as they require zero custom wiring.

The idea of smart living has become a significant trend of late, and the number of smart homes is predicted to surpass 350 million by 2023. Ecoflow is well positioned to take advantage of that shift, with a range of products that allow users to build a fully connected, energy-efficient home with off-grid capabilities.

samsung galaxy ring wearable will launch in eight sizes

The global launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring is hotly anticipated, with details about the next-gen wearable gradually emerging since the company’s teaser announcement back in January. Now, a report has also unveiled the model numbers for the device, suggesting it will be available in eight different sizes.

While Samsung has yet to divulge detailed specs and features of the Galaxy Ring, it’s likely to feature an array of health and sleep monitoring functionalities, while boasting a battery life of up to nine days on a single charge.

As per a Galaxy Club report, there are currently eight confirmed variants of the Galaxy Ring: SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509.

However, the mystery shrouding two absent model numbers persists, leaving speculation as to whether they signify additional sizes or if Samsung plans to unveil a later ninth variant of the ring, as previously hinted. There’s conjecture that these models may correspond to US ring sizes 5 and above, commencing with the SMQ500, with subsequent numbers potentially indicating larger ring sizes, possibly reaching up to size 13, aligning with model number SM-Q509.

Recent Korean reports have shed light on how Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division (MX) collaborated with the Home Appliance department to integrate Samsung Food with the Galaxy Ring: Tailored for daily activity tracking, the Galaxy Ring, when paired with Samsung Food and an intelligent Samsung refrigerator featuring AI vision, delivers personalized dietary guidance based on calorie intake and BMI.

Samsung is banking on the user-friendly interface and high durability of the ring to redefine the healthcare wearables landscape. Meanwhile, Apple is also making strides in the development of a smart ring, aimed at monitoring users’ health biometrics discreetly when worn on the finger. According to the Electronic Times report, Apple has been closely monitoring market interest in this more inconspicuous alternative to a traditional watch.
