Less than a year after the marketing of its Band 9, Huawei is visibly preparing the arrival of a new version of its entry-level connected bracelet. A clue from a European regulatory platform suggests that a certain Huawei Band 10 is on the way.
Huawei’s next connected bracelet is well in the works. We learn this week from the blog Gadgets and Wearableswhich the firm has submitted to the European organization TUV SUD, a certification request corresponding a priori to the future Huawei Band 10, successor to the current Huawei Band 9. For the moment designated under the reference NOR-B29, the The device has also been listed with another regulator, this time in Indonesia.
These two appearances, in the records of two separate organizations, support the possibility of an upcoming marketing for the new Chinese activity tracking bracelet. As a reminder, the latter will have the mission of competing with the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 and other Fitbit Charge 6… as well as their respective successors.
Towards a spring launch?
These first appearances of the Huawei Band 10 do not yet inform us about the precise technical specifications of the bracelet, but they in any case direct us towards a potential marketing in spring 2025. The Band 10 would then take the place of the Band 9 just one year later its entry into the market. This seems consistent given Huawei’s usual schedule.
On a technical level, or even in terms of design and conception, the current Huawei Band 9 changed practically nothing from the recipe that we already knew from the Huawei Band 8, launched in 2023. Above all, we found a new nine-axis motion sensor, allowing improved activity tracking compared to the old six-axis sensor… but without revolutionizing the experience. Compared to the Band 8, the Band 9 also offered new features, mainly software, relating to monitoring the user’s sleep and overall health. There were also new colors there.
While it is still difficult to be sure at this stage, the Huawei Band 10 could evolve a little more than its predecessor. In addition to redesigned sensors, or even refined monitoring options, we could for example find an improved screen. Response within a few weeks.
