Honor issued a statement saying it will hold a
new product launch conference in Xi’an on September 5, where the company will
uncover the Honor 8X and the Honor 8X Max. But there will be other products as
well. This afternoon, the company officially announced through its Weibo
account that there will be the Honor Band 4 and Honor Band 4 Running Edition.
The latter will come with a number of wearing styles. As the poster shows, it
can be worn not only on the wrist but also on the feet.
Though there are not many features known at this
moment, it’s assumed the Honor Band 4 and its sibling will be capable of
providing all those sports and health data the other models do. Plus, they will
provide the details of the movement after each run. The data will be clearly
displayed through various charts in the mobile app.
Of course, the Honor Band 4 and the Running Version
will show the heart rate, sleep monitoring and other useful data. It’s also
should have a waterproof ration. It is worth mentioning that the Honor Band 3 also came with an NFC
chip, which supports the subway, bus, and other transportation payments. So
there is every reason to think the upcoming Honor Band 4 and the Honor Band 4
Running Version will integrate NFC functions.
However, the Honor Band 4 is not going to compete
with the TalkBand B5, which is a business class smartband. Instead, it will
struggle against the models such as the Xiaomi Mi Band 3.
