Huawei has unveiled a range of new and innovative wearables for consumers to stay connected. The company announced two new wearable smart devices, namely; the TalkBand N1 (N1) and the TalkBand B2 (B2).
Firstly, the B2 is the second generation of Huawei’s TalkBand devices bringing a new style and sophistication to the table. The B2 has a smarter and more accurate fitness tracking ability and an enhanced synchronisation with android phones. The B2 comes with a built-in Bluetooth headset and sports bracelet. The device has a sensitive 6-axis sensor to track every move and even help you with your sleep by measuring your duration and deepness of sleep. It can then give you tips on having a better night’s sleep.
The B2 has a dual microphone setup for noise reduction and knows when its in the band or when it’s being used as a headset and can redirect the audio from a call or music. The B2 can also act as a phone finding device for any Android phone by vibration or ring tone alert.
There’s a battery inside good for 5 days, 6 hour talk time and 12 day standby time. The B2 works with Android 4.0+ and iOS 7+. It’ll be available in Gold, Black, Silver. It’ll be 199 euros for the leather strap version and 169 euros for the TPU strap version.
The N1 is a high-quality Bluetooth headset for sports and music lovers alike. It’s an industry first Hi-Fi stereo Bluetooth headset with 4GB of internal storage and also includes Bluetooth calling and sports tracking. The N1 has a 20-20000Hz range using APTX Bluetooth technology streaming CD quality sound. By pairing the N1 with a smartphone, the N1 becomes a sports tracker with step counting, calorie tracking and even announces your callers by name.
It weighs 18g and is IP54 waterproof and dust-proof. The earbuds also snap together with magnets and can be worn as a fashionable necklace. The N1 comes in Sliver, Grey and Red and will retail for 199 euros.
Are you excited about what Huawei has in store for this year? Huawei also announced that they are in partnership with Jawbone, the makers of the Up and Up24 – soon, you’ll be able to use Jawbone’s Up app with your Huawei wearables.
I hope Huawei are going to do B2 versions of the mesh watchbands from their Huawei Watch. I think such bands would look great on with the B2.
