Since the Huawei Band 8 was first announced almost a year ago, the company has hinted that a Band 9 is on the way and will probably be released with the FreeLace Pro 2 headphones. According to a recent leak, both devices should be available for purchase in April.
Thanks to irresponsible retailers, we have a ton of official-looking, high-resolution pictures of what appears to be the Huawei Band 9. The Band 9, codenamed “Kimi,” and model number KIM-B19 seem to be nearly exact replicas of each other. Since the Huawei Band 8 didn’t really change much from its predecessor, either, this has come to be expected.
The 1.47-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 368×194 pixel resolution and 180 mAh internal battery are still features of the Huawei Band 9. You still have access to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and five ATMs that are water resistant. The insider claims that the Band 9’s €59 price will not change either.
The color scheme is now different. The source claims that the device itself will be available in the following five colors: pink, white, blue, yellow, and black. There will also be new straps available, such as the textile strap that is included with the blue Band 9.
In the teaser for the Band 9, Huawei did mention “a new era in wrist fashion and sleep feature enhancements,” so maybe some new features are in store as well.
Highlight Features of Huawei Band 9
- Familiar Yet Stylish Design: It’s expected to keep the comfortable rounded rectangle form factor with a 2.5D glass display and a side button.
- Enhanced Sleep Tracking: Huawei is hinting at a “new era in sleep features” which could mean more advanced sleep tracking capabilities like monitoring sleep stages or blood oxygen levels during sleep.
- Fashionable Customization: There are rumors of a “new era in wrist fashion” which might suggest a wider variety of stylish watch faces to personalize the look.
- Possible Carryover Features: Building on the Band 8’s success, it might include features like multiple sport modes, heart rate monitoring, SpO2 (blood oxygen) tracking, and long battery life.
Important Note: These are predicated on leaks and unofficial information because the official launch has not yet occurred. To find out the features that are confirmed, we’ll need to wait for the official announcement.
