Huawei yesterday unveiled one of its most memorable products in recent memory. The TalkBand B7 is one of the newer devices that has gotten less attention. It’s the follow-up to last year’s TalkBand B6 smartband/Bluetooth earpiece 2-in-1, and it brings a largely unchanged design, but with a few smaller changes under the hood.
Huawei Talk Band B7
The TalkBand B7 houses a 1.53-inch AMOLED display with 326 ppi pixel density (188 x 460 pixels) in a stainless steel case. The wearable is powered by the Kirin A1 chipset and pairs via Bluetooth 5.2. Huawei sells his two microphones for improved call noise reduction algorithms and better voice pickup. The bracelet not only monitors heart rate and blood oxygen levels, but also offers sports tracking for up to 10 activities.
TalkBand B7 charges via a regular USB-C cable. This is much easier to use than the usual proprietary charging packs. Battery life is rated at two full days of mixed use, but a 10-minute quick charge gives you four extra hours of use. The entire package is IP57 rated for water and dust.
TalkBand B7 in Luminous Black and Sky Gray
The Huawei TalkBand B7 comes in Luminous Black and Sky Gray colors. Priced at 999 RMB ($145), the wearable is already on general sale in China. More on international availability at a later date.
