Tech companies are continuing to delve into wearable devices and technology, with Acer becoming the latest brand to unveil its latest innovations.
Acer showcased its FreeSense Ring and AI TransBuds at Computex 2025, in Taipei, Taiwan, this week.
While the new products reflect the company's growing expansion into AI-powered wearables and real-time communication tools, it has come a bit late to the table.
Wearables
Other tech companies like Huawei, Apple, Samsung, Honor and Oppo have a series of smart watches packed with health features, while Samsung just launched its Galaxy Ring in South Africa last month.
Last week, Huawei unveiled its new Watch Fit 4 and Watch 5 series in Berlin.
Acer Gadget will also display its latest e-mobility solutions — including e-scooters, e-bikes and accessories at Computex 2025.

Acer FreeSense Ring
The Acer FreeSense Ring features advanced biometric sensing to support everyday health monitoring.
Crafted from ultra-lightweight titanium alloy, the ring tracks vital physiological metrics such as heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, and sleep quality.
The data points are analysed through a companion mobile app, which generates personalised wellness insights and provides suggestions.
Users also have full access to all health data without additional subscription fees.
Acer AI TransBuds
According to Acer, AI TransBuds are lightweight and compact, designed to simplify multilingual communication.
By connecting to a smartphone or tablet via a plug-in receiver, the device activates real-time, two-way voice translation powered by AI-based speech recognition and semantic analysis.
Notably, only one person needs to wear the earbuds to carry out effective translation. The earbuds also support live captioning and transcription, helping users follow conversations in real time and review them later.
The system currently supports 15 major languages spoken across Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
Acer eMobility
The e-scooters and e-bikes include the Acer eScooter Series 4 Select, Series 5 Select, Predator ES Storm, and Predator ES Thunder, each equipped with 400 W to 500 W motors, adaptive brake and suspension systems. Riders can monitor performance and manage security settings via the Acer eMobility app.
Also on display is the Predator eRanger, a fat-tire e-bike first introduced at the Taipei Cycle Show 2025 earlier this year.
While Acer did not provide any pricing or availability of their new gadgets, consumers will be hoping they are affordable as the emphasis on health and artificial intelligence continues to make strides in a connected landscape.

China considers safety rules for driving assistance systems
China is considering imposing safety requirements for driving assistance systems, as more of the country's carmakers offer such features on cars to attract buyers. A post published by China's national standards database on Wednesday showed that the country's ministry of industry of information technology had put forward a proposal to formulate the rules. China's carmaker Dongfeng Motor and tech giant Huawei are among parties involved in drafting the safety requirements over a month-long period until July 4, the database's post showed. The deliberations come as carmakers have been rushing to launch new models equipped with advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), touting such capabilities as key selling points amid a brutal price war that has extended into a third year in the world's largest car market. Regulators moved to temper the activity in April by banning the use of 'smart driving' and 'autonomous driving' when advertising such features. The move followed a fatal accident involving Xiaomi's, best-selling SU7 sedan in March which triggered widespread concerns over vehicle safety. Preliminary findings showed the Xiaomi car caught fire after hitting a cement roadside pole at a speed of 97km/h seconds after its driver took over control from its ADAS. Xiaomi's founder has said the company will fully co-operate with a police investigation.

Huawei Mate X6 proves foldables can be tough, powerful and practical
When foldable smartphones first emerged, they promised a bold new future in mobile technology, bigger screens, smaller footprints, and a reimagined user experience. But the reality was far less refined. The first wave of foldables dazzled with concept but fell short in execution. Fragile hinges, vulnerable screens, and performance limitations gave consumers pause. Many questioned whether these sleek devices were truly ready for daily life or simply tech experiments dressed in premium finishes. Fast-forward to 2025, and the conversation is shifting. Huawei's latest flagship foldable, the Huawei Mate X6, marks a turning point not just for the brand, but for the entire category. It's not a device that asks for compromise: it proves foldables can be as tough, powerful and practical as any top-tier smartphone. Armed with serious materials engineering, performance upgrades, and thoughtful design, the Mate X6 represents what a foldable phone should have been all along. Redefining smartphone durability Durability has long been the Achilles' heel of foldable phones. Huawei addressed this head-on with a completely reimagined structure for the Huawei Mate X6. The exterior screen is shielded by second-generation Kunlun Glass, which incorporates a reinforced glass network that delivers 25 times more drop resistance than previous models. Inside, the primary folding screen is backed by a carbon fibre plate that increases rigidity by 65%, ensuring the device can be opened and closed repeatedly without compromising structural integrity. Supporting it all is an aviation-grade aluminium frame, enhanced to be 37% stronger with better resistance to compression and bending, so it's as reassuringly solid as it is sleek. Smarter hinge, sleeker form The hinge, that crucial mechanical element of every foldable, has also received a major upgrade. It is precision-engineered using 100% Rocket Steel, a material with a tensile strength of 19,00MPa. This means the Huawei Mate X6 hinge is now 27% stronger. The embedded slide rail structure has allowed Huawei to slim down the hinge by 12% when folded and 14% when unfolded, contributing to the phone's impressively slim profile of just 9.85mm folded and 4.6mm unfolded. These aren't just numbers but evidence of genuine engineering progress, where elegance no longer comes at the cost of durability. Cool under pressure Yet hardware isn't the only story. The Huawei Mate X6 pairs this robust build with powerful performance, thanks partly to its intelligent thermal design. One of the challenges with larger screens is heat management, especially during intense use like gaming or streaming. Huawei has solved this with a dual-module heat dissipation system that spreads heat across both screen sections, increasing the dissipation area by 30%. The addition of ultra-high thermal conductivity graphene, with a conductivity coefficient of 2,000W/mK, enhances overall efficiency by 33%, helping the device remain cool and responsive. Camera power without compromise Photography, another historical weak spot for foldables, is no longer a compromise. The Huawei Mate X6 is equipped with Huawei's Ultra Chroma Camera system, incorporating 1.5-million spectral channels for a 120% improvement in colour accuracy. Whether you're photographing subtle skin tones or bold sunsets, the results are vivid and true to life. A standout feature is the telephoto macro lens, which supports 5cm close-ups with periscope zoom, offering creative flexibility that most smartphones, foldable or not, simply can't match. The 50MP main camera also includes a 10-step adjustable physical aperture, giving users professional-level control over depth of field and light intake. Display and software that adapts to you Then there's the display experience. The Huawei Mate X6 features dual OLED panels: a 6.45″ external screen and a 7.93″ internal display, both with stunning resolution and peak brightness levels of 2,500 and 1,800 nits respectively. Whether you're reading outdoors or watching content in dim lighting, clarity and colour remain uncompromised. Both screens also support adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz, balancing silky-smooth visuals with power efficiency. The Mate X6 runs on EMUI 15, Huawei's latest operating system, offering a clean, responsive interface with productivity enhancements like Live Multitasking, letting users run up to three apps at once in expanded view. Everything runs seamlessly, from meetings to media editing, underpinned by the hardware's durability and thermal efficiency. Ready for a foldable without trade-offs? With the Mate X6, Huawei hasn't just refined the foldable. It has redefined it. The wait is over for those who've been waiting for a foldable that finally delivers on sleek design, robust durability and serious performance.
