The Huawei Band 8 was announced almost a year ago (in early April 2023), it brought a much lighter body while retaining the 1.47” OLED display. Now number 9 is on the way and it is bringing a friend. Huawei posted this teaser clip on X that offers glimpses of the new band. We took that and pieced together a full look at the Huawei Band 9.
The overall design is the same, a rounded
rectangle holding the display with 2.5D glass on top and a button on the side.
Huawei promises that the new model will bring a “new era in wrist fashion and
sleep feature enhancements”.
We mentioned a second device and this is a
sequel that is a long time coming – the Huawei FreeLace Pro were announced in
August 2020 (these were neckband-style headphones). The Huawei FreeLace Pro 2
is finally on the way as seen in another teaser clip. Check out our review of
the original. The FreeLace Pro was rated IP55, offered 24 hour battery life and
featured Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) at a price of € 120. The new model
promises “world of convenience and prepare for an immersive experience”.
Both the Band 9 and FreeLace Pro 2 are
tagged #ComingSoon, but the posts don’t get any more specific than that.
