Ring, a provider of smart home security solutions recently announced a partnership agreement with Al Jammaz Distribution, the leading Saudi based Value-Added Distributor, which distributes advanced technology products, solutions and services. This partnership will help Ring foray and expand its reach across the Saudi market offering customers Ring’s innovative home security products and solutions.

“Ring believes in keeping homes and communities safe rather than just comfortable and we hope to change the way home owners view security by keeping an eye on their family and property, even when they can’t. Ring re-imagined the doorbell so consumers could respond – using a smartphone – to someone at their front door from anyplace, anytime while simplifying the technology with the combination of App, Cloud and Security hardware,” said Mohammad Meraj Hoda, Managing Director of Ring.

“Al Jammaz has been providing technology-driven business solutions in Saudi Arabia for almost a decade and in that time, has succeeded in reaching almost 90% of the Saudi Arabian channel and distribution market. We look forward to working with Al Jammaz to address the home security needs by extending the product offerings through Internet Service Providers, Online retailers, system integrators, Internet service providers and brick and motor channels where they have very strong relationship,” concluded Mr. Hoda.

Recent studies regarding the real estate market indicated that the Gulf countries in general and Saudi Arabia in particular are likely to be the most advanced with respect to establishing smart homes as a result of the level of constructional development in this region. According to a report by Statista the revenue in the ‘Smart Home’ market amounts to US$124m in 2017 with expectation for it to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2017-2021) of 42.3 % resulting in a market volume of US$507m in 2021. The report further reveals that currently the household penetration is at 6.1 % in 2017 and is expected to hit 24.7 % in 2021.

Ring has evolved as the leading brand in the Smart Home Security Space represented by 16000 plus stores across North America and Ring’s products globally have been hailed as dependable second set of eyes and ears to deter would-be thieves from entering homes and communities. It has been proven that Ring doorbells can reduce crime by up to 55% in neighbourhoods, and the goal is to bring the same convenience and security to the Middle East neighbourhoods.

As the Value Added Distributor, Al Jammaz will promote Ring’s latest suite of smart home security products such as Ring Video Doorbell, Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Video Doorbell Elite, Ring Floodlight Cam and the new Ring Spotlight Cam and conduct channel engagement, training and activation programs for partners. Al Jammaz will also set up go-to-market strategies with key retail partners and provide the needed infrastructure for micro-channel to engage with the Ring brand.

“The Saudi Ministry of Housing has launched programs and initiatives to achieve Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 which aims to increase the rate of property ownership to 52 percent. Under these directives, there are huge opportunities for the housing sector to grow and develop and we believe that the Internet of Things is set to disrupt the way we live. Homes are going to get ‘smart’ with connected products offering endless possibilities to make our lives easier, more convenient, and more comfortable. The awareness and demand for smart entry devices, such as smart doorbells that keep families, neighborhoods and communities safe are growing and therefore we believe that our partnership with Ring is a perfect fit. We see exciting new possibilities in this partnership with Ring across the Kingdom and it will help Al Jammaz to better address our customer’s needs in today’s environment of ever-increasing demand for home security solutions,” said Asim Al Jammaz, CEO, Al Jammaz Distribution.

Al Jammaz will distribute Ring’s best-of-breed home security solutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

CMF smartwatch: Watch 3 Pro is a smarter move

Published

on

The CMF smartwatch Watch 3 Pro launches with intelligent coaching, precise tracking, and a bold design for everyday movement. Built for casual fitness and daily life, CMF smartwatch features help you train smarter, stay organised, and look sharp—without complicating your routine.

CMF smartwatch essentials: why Watch 3 Pro stands out

First, it upgrades accuracy. A new dual-band five-system GPS locks on faster and holds signal in crowded cities or open trails. Consequently, route data feels cleaner, and pacing is more reliable. Next, 131 sports modes keep training fresh, while a personalised running coach adapts plans to your level and goals. Meanwhile, a four-channel heart-rate sensor improves precision across skin tones and intensities. With Active Score (powered by MET data), you get a simple weekly snapshot that nudges consistency.

Train, recover, repeat with CMF smartwatch AI tools

After each workout, AI-powered summaries unpack training load, recovery time, and even 5K/10K predictions. Forget to press start? The watch auto-detects seven core activities, so your effort still counts. Beyond exercise, daily wellness stays in view: SpO₂, stress tracking, guided breathing, hydration, and inactivity reminders, sleep insights, and women’s health support provide a fuller picture of your day.

CMF Watch 3 Pro: Your on-wrist smart companion

Because life moves fast, CMF adds helpful tools. ChatGPT integration lets you ask questions, set reminders, and get quick facts with natural-language voice prompts. Additionally, a voice recorder with auto-transcription captures ideas on the go, while an Essential News digest curates updates by interest. Bluetooth calling, gesture shortcuts, and 140-character quick replies keep communication simple, and an extra microphone improves call pickup.

Expressive hardware, immersive display

Style matters. Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Orange straps pair with a precision-milled metal body that feels premium yet discreet. Up front, a vibrant 1.43-inch AMOLED with ultra-thin bezels supports Always-On Display and delivers a 10% higher screen-to-body ratio than Watch Pro 2. Moreover, you can choose from 120+ watch faces, including video, photo, and AI-generated options via Watch Face Studio. Add full-screen or mini widgets for fitness, weather, music, or reminders to make it yours.

Built for real life

Rated IP68, the watch handles sweat, dust, and surprise downpours. Battery life impresses, too: expect up to 13 days with typical use, around 11 days with heavier tracking, and about 4.5 days with Always-On enabled. A full charge takes roughly 99 minutes. Under the hood, improved motion monitoring and a 6-axis accelerometer—a 50% boost over Watch Pro 2—bring smoother tracking to indoor and outdoor sessions alike.

Nothing X: one app for more control

All CMF smartwatches, including earlier models, are transitioning to the Nothing X app. You’ll see steadier syncing, a refreshed UI, and smarter health tools. Crucially, the platform supports Strava, Apple Health, and Google Health Connect, so your workout data and daily metrics flow where you need them—without juggling multiple apps.

Price and availability

In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, CMF Watch 3 Pro is priced at AED/SAR 369 at leading retail partners across e-commerce, electronics, and carrier channels. Open sales begin soon (date TBC). If you want one device that covers training, wellness, and day-to-day smarts, this is the easy pick.

Bottom line

The CMF Watch 3 Pro combines accuracy, coaching, and character. It encourages small, doable wins—today, tomorrow, and the day after. Put it on, set a goal, and move smarter.

This means the screen stays clear and easy to read, even in direct sunlight or brightly lit offices. Nano-level etching involves engraving special textures on the screen surface, which reproduce the look and feel of writing on paper. The HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd generation) stylus works seamlessly with the tablet, offering an exceptionally smooth and natural handwriting experience. It also includes several eye-friendly features, such as circular polarisation and DC dimming, to ensure comfortable viewing, especially for younger users.

Equally noteworthy is GoPaint, Huawei’s own digital painting app, now available on an affordable tablet for the first time.

Users can also explore a growing selection of apps through AppGallery, Huawei’s official app store, ranked among the top three global app distribution platforms. AppGallery offers a secure, certified environment and serves as a unified hub for downloading apps across all Huawei devices, supporting a seamless, all-scenario experience.

Better Under The Hood and Across The Board

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 packs powerful hardware, along with its trailblazing software, a massive 10,100 mAh battery, which supports an astounding 14 hours of local video playback on a single charge, as well as 40 W HUAWEI SuperCharge technology. MatePad’s enhanced cooling system is 25% more effective than its predecessor, to support intensive work and multi-tasking. With a four-speaker setup and Huawei’s exclusive Histen 9.0 audio algorithm, the tablet delivers an immersive audio experience.

Designed with young users in mind, the MatePad 11.5 offers smart office capabilities and digital creation tools that enhance both productivity and creativity. The PaperMatte Display provides a comfortable viewing experience and a pen-on-paper-like feel when writing. Future Huawei tablets will build on this foundation, to make smart, productivity-boosting features broadly accessible to all.

“Our newest Reno14 Series is built to help users celebrate every moment — from spontaneous night shots to joyful gatherings — with smart imaging powered by AI Flash Photography and AI Livephoto 2.0,” said Lay Ren, President of OPPO MENA. “Paired with a striking new design inspired by self-expression, this is more than a smartphone — it’s a reflection of the vibrant lifestyle we see across the UAE.”

At the heart of the Reno14 Series is AI Flash Photography, a next-gen lighting solution that transforms low-light and zoom photography. Across the lineup, OPPO introduces an industry-first dedicated focus flash, ultra-bright dual and triple flash configurations, and upgraded Flash Mode. Whether you’re shooting indoors or outdoors, day or night, users can expect photos with rich detail, natural skin tones, and a striking sense of depth.

Visually, the Reno14 Series features the Iridescent Mermaid Design, OPPO’s most vibrant look yet. Inspired by flowing light and shimmering textures, this unique finish is brought to life through a 12-layer Iridescent Glow Process, creating a fluid, eye-catching aesthetic for today’s fashion-forward and social-savvy users in the UAE.

The series also features innovative productivity tools powered by the latest ColorOS 15, including AI Mind Space, which helps users stay organized, overcome language barriers, and easily record or summarize key information. Building on this seamless AI experience, OPPO has further strengthened its partnership with Google to bring Gemini to the Reno14 Series.

“Our mission at OPPO is to use AI to meaningfully empower our users, which we achieve through strategic partnerships like our collaboration with Google,” stated Kai Tang, President of OPPO’s Software Engineering, “With the Reno14 Series, we are collaborating closely with Google to systematically integrate Google Gemini into OPPO core apps. This integration will enable users to effortlessly perform complex actions across multiple apps using simple natural language queries, significantly enhancing AI convenience.”

With Reno14 Series, Gemini will connect to OPPO apps and services, including OPPO Notes, Calendar, and Clock, letting you pull information and complete tasks directly in your chat. With a single prompt, users will be able to ask Gemini to work across their apps, simply by pressing and holding the side button to activate Gemini.

Coming soon Gemini will support multi-app journeys to help users complete complex tasks and save time. For instance, users will be able to ask Gemini to summarize key points from a lengthy document and save the summary directly into OPPO Notes for easy access. Leveraging Gemini’s powerful multimodal capabilities, users will be able to capture essential steps from recipe tutorials on YouTube, instructing Gemini to save them efficiently within OPPO Notes.

Managing schedules and daily routines will also become more intuitive. After booking travel arrangements, users will be able to ask Gemini to “add this to my OPPO Calendar,” and it will automatically create an event in OPPO Calendar.

Stay tuned as OPPO prepares to be your perfect companion for all your celebration moments. Pre-orders start on July 31st, coinciding with the launch event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
