Huawei Band 8 fitness bracelet introduced - it has become thinner and lighter

Huawei has officially unveiled the new generation of its flagship fitness tracker, the Band 8. The accessory retained the design predecessor, but got flat ends.

The case has become thinner and lighter - only 8.99 mm with a weight of 14 grams (against 9.99 mm and 16 grams for Band 7). The screen of the gadget is 1.47-inch with a resolution of 368 × 194 pixels and support for Always-On Display.

Huawei Band 8 supports 100 sports modes and can measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Thanks to TruSeen 5.0 technology, the accuracy of these measurements has been improved by 10%.

Also announced is automatic recognition of a number of exercises and professional algorithms for some workouts.

On a single charge, the accessory lasts up to two weeks. A full charge takes only 45 minutes, and in 5 minutes it can be powered for two days of work.

The basic version of the bracelet will be available in three colors for 269 yuan without an NFC chip and for 309 with it (≈3200 and 3700 rubles, respectively). The Vitality Orange Wristband version with a fabric strap will cost 10 yuan more.
