In the month of July, Honor launched the Honor Band 5 which is a fitness-oriented smart wearable. The key highlighting features of the device include an AMOLED display, SPo2 meter, and long battery backup. Earlier today, the company announced that the Honor Band 5 will get an all new feature which is useful for music lovers.
With the latest update, the Honor Band 5 will allow its users to remotely pause or change the music track on their smartphone. Besides, it can also be used to increase or decrease the volume which we feel is a handy addition. The feature is compatible with all Android devices that are running Android 5.0 or a newer version.

An ideal situation for using this feature would be while running or working out. While most users tend to use a pair of wireless headphones when performing a physical activity, pulling out their smartphone every time to modify playback options is a cumbersome task.
Therefore, the latest feature on the Honor Band 5 can simplify this process to a great extent. As it is much easier to use the fitness band which is strapped to the wrist rather than a smartphone which is often kept in a denim pocket or bag.
All in all, the ability to change tracks and alter volume via the Honor Band 5 is a worthwhile addition. Besides, the Mi Band 4 from Xiaomi already supports this feature. Hence, the latest update will allow Honor’s offering to better take on its rival.
