Huawei had one of its biggest product launches in recent memory yesterday and the TalkBand B7 was one of the more under-the-radar new devices. It’s a follow up to last year’s TalkBand B6 smartband/Bluetooth earpiece 2-in-1 and it brings a mostly unchanged design with some minor under the hood changes.
TalkBand B7 brings a 1.53” AMOLED display
with 326 ppi pixel density (188 x 460 px) housed in a stainless steel casing.
The wearable is powered by the Kirin A1 chipset and pairs over Bluetooth 5.2.
Huawei is marketing an improved call noise reduction algorithm and two
microphones for better voice pickup. The bracelet can also monitor your heart
rate and blood oxygen levels as well as provide you with sports tracking for up
to 10 activitities.
TalkBand B7 charges over a regular USB-C
cable which is a lot more user-friendly compared to the usual proprietary
charging pucks. Battery life is rated at two full days of mixed usage while a
quick 10-minute charge will net you four hours of extra use. The whole package
is IP57 rated for water and dust.
Huawei TalkBand B7 comes in Luminous Black
and Sky Gray color. Pricing is set at CNY 999 (US$ 145) and the wearable is
already on open sale in China. International availability will be detailed at a
later date.
