Huawei today announced the launch of a new wearable device, the Huawei TalkBand B5. It’s the fourth generation of the company’s TalkBand products and the successor to the Huawei TalkBand B3 which was launched in 2013. It features a 1.13 inch AMOLED touchscreen display with 160×300 pixel resolution. The display is 2.4 times bigger than that of its predecessor.
Like the ones before it, the TalkBand 5 is a hybrid device which can function as a Bluetooth headset and a smart health tracker. The wearable device will enable users to monitor their health on a daily basis while also keeping an eye on notifications from a paired smartphone.
With its TruSeen heart rate technology, the device can monitor heart rate continuously while also tracking a whole host of activities such as running, treadmill running, walking, indoor cycling, riding, and freestyle training. The Truesleep tracking technology monitors different stages of sleep through the night.
The company offers stylish and premium straps for the wearable device in sport, fashion and business editions. It has the industry’s first triple-core audio chip under the hood, according to Huawei, and dual-MIC noise reduction quality for pure and clear sound.
The TalkBand B5 integrated with Phone Finder to enable users to locate their misplaced device within Bluetooth range. Users can also take photos remotely using the TalkBand B5’s Remote Shutter.
The Huawei TalkBank B5 is IP57 dust and water resistant. It’s going to be available in markets across the globe from August 2018.
