Introduction

The UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring New Lite Black 18MM (Model Number: Zikr Ring New Lite) promises a lot: a tiny, functional smart ring with an OLED display, Bluetooth connectivity, and a dedicated tasbeeh counter. Having worn it for several weeks, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review, detailing its strengths and weaknesses based on real-world usage.

Features

The Zikr Ring New Lite boasts several key features, making it stand out in the increasingly crowded smart ring market. Its miniature size is immediately impressive, and the OLED display, while small, is surprisingly clear and easy to read. The tasbeeh counter is a unique and thoughtful addition, perfectly suited to its intended purpose. Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless integration with the accompanying app and other compatible devices. The 5 prayer time reminders are a helpful feature for many users.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Zikr Ring New Lite generally performs as advertised. The Bluetooth connection was consistently reliable during my testing period. The tasbeeh counter proved accurate and easy to use. The OLED display, while not vibrant, offered sufficient clarity for its limited screen real estate. The battery life, rated for 5 days of normal use, held up remarkably well during my testing, consistently lasting for at least 4 days with moderate usage. I did notice minor lag occasionally when navigating the interface, but it was infrequent enough not to be a major issue.

One area that could use improvement is the notification system. While the prayer time reminders function well, other notifications could benefit from more customization and clarity. The charging mechanism, while convenient, requires a bit more care than a standard wireless charging system.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Small and discreet design, easy-to-use tasbeeh counter, reliable Bluetooth connectivity, decent battery life, clear OLED display, useful prayer time reminders.
• Cons: Occasional lag in the interface, limited notification customization, charging requires a specific cable.

Final Verdict

The UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring New Lite (Zikr Ring New Lite) is a compelling option for users seeking a small, functional smart ring with a specific focus. Its unique tasbeeh counter and prayer time reminders set it apart. While there’s room for improvement in terms of interface smoothness and notification customization, the overall performance and ease of use make it a recommendable device. For its intended audience, it delivers on its promises. The combination of a clear OLED screen, excellent battery life, and the compact design are noteworthy and contribute to a positive user experience. For those looking for a simple yet functional smart ring, the Zikr Ring New Lite is a strong contender.
