Huawei Band 8 Full Specifications and Features

Description

Huawei Band 8 Full Specifications – In a recent event in China, Huawei announced the Huawei Band 8 which is the successor to the Huawei Band 7. The new smartband looks very much like its predecessor, it however, welcomes a flattened frame, redesigned straps and improved activity-tracking algorithms. Like its predecessor, the Huawei Band 8 is a low-priced smartband designed to track your daily activities and keep you updated. It also boasts up to 14 days of battery life that allows you to go long from a single charge.

Unlike its predecessor with curved edges, the Huawei Band 8 has a flattened frame which makes it more attractive. The frame is made of polymer while the straps are made of silicone. It’s a very compact device and one of the slimmest smartbands at 8.99mm thick. It’s also very lightweight at 14 grams (excluding straps). The device is rated 5ATM which means it’s water resistant up to 50 meters. It has a physical button by the side in addition to a touch-sensitive screen that makes navigation very easy.

The straps have also been redesigned to be easier to swap. Unlike where you have to pool a stiff hook to one end, you only need to push a button to remove the straps.

The display spots a 1.47 footprint powered by AMOLED which is very colorful and easy to read. You get over 40000 watch faces to choose from on the Huawei Health app, though many of these are premium watch faces that need to be purchased.

In the activity tracking department, the Huawei Band 8 is also equipped with a heart rate sensor and accelerometer just like the Huawei Band 7. However, the tracking algorithms have been improved. It features TruSleep 3.0, TruSeen 4.0 and TruRelax algorithms that will automatically track your sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, and stress respectively. The Huawei Band 8 also features menstrual cycle tracking and comes with 100 preloaded sports modes.

The Huawei Band 8 also lacks inbuilt GPS like its predecessor. However, it can connect to your phone’s GPS to map routes during an outdoor activity.
