On April 8th, just before the grand unveiling of the Huawei P70 series, Huawei surprised everyone late last night by announcing three new wearable gadgets, considered by netizens as the "appetizer" for the P70.
It's been revealed that among these three new releases is the Huawei Band 9. The pre-sale for this new product began at 10:08 am this morning. It comes in two configurations: the standard version and the NFC version, priced at 239 CNY and 279 CNY respectively. The Band 9 promises enhanced sleep monitoring capabilities, catering to the growing demand for comprehensive sleep analysis among users.
In terms of design, the Huawei Band 9 adopts lightweight, skin-friendly materials, with a body weighing just 14g and a thickness of only 8.99mm. Its 1.47-inch screen rivals that of smartwatches, boasting a resolution of 194x368 pixels and supporting Always-On Display (AOD) for screen-off notifications.
The Huawei Band 9 comes in five color options: Lemon Yellow, Dawn Pink, Tranquil Blue, Feather White, and Starry Black, with upgraded fluororubber and exclusive nylon woven straps.
Introducing the "Tranquil Dream" sleep dial, it's evident from the name that this generation of the band is focused on sleep monitoring.
Equipped with the all-new HUAWEI TruSleep 4.0, it adds sleep respiratory rate, sleep heart rate, and sleep blood oxygen indicators, while also supporting sleep apnea detection, making sleep monitoring more comprehensive.
Additionally, the smart bracelet offers bedtime reminders and supports sleep mode settings. It pairs with the Huawei Health app to provide sleep aid services such as playing white noise and facilitating mindfulness practices.
In terms of fitness, the Huawei Band 9 supports 100 different exercise modes, along with a plethora of health monitoring features such as automatic blood oxygen detection and women's health management, and it can also provide alerts for atrial fibrillation and premature beats.
On other fronts, the Band has added an ambient light sensor for automatic brightness adjustment, and it supports features like WeChat call reminders, phone finding, alarm clock, and music control.
As for battery life, the Huawei Band 9 claims to offer "2 days of battery life with just 5 minutes of fast charging," providing up to 14 days of usage on a full charge and up to 9 days under normal usage conditions.
