In the month of July this year, Huawei‘s sub-brand, Honor launched it latest fitness band which is called the Honor Band 5. Earlier today, the company has shared a teaser which reveals that it is about to launch another variant of the previously launched smart wearable which will be dubbed the “Honor Band 5i”.
According to the teaser, the upcoming fitness tracker will be launched on the 22nd of October which also happens to the launch date of the “Honor 20 Youth Edition“. In terms of looks, the Honor Band 5i is reminiscent of the original device with an elongated body and silicone wrist strap. However, one obvious difference that the two variants have is that the future smart wearable has a charging connector built-in which is concealed in the strap.
With the help of this connector, the Honor band 5i can directly be plugged into a wall charger with a USB A female port, eliminating the need of a specific charging accessory which we believe is a thoughtful addition.

Besides, it can also be confirmed that this smart wearable will be offered in at least three colour variants which include Pink, Black and Olive Green. While the display size is yet to be publicised, it looks similar to the standard Honor 5 which features a 0.95 inch OLED AMOLED display that capable of displaying 43 characters at once. The teaser also confirms that this variant will have an Spo2 meter to measure blood oxygen and will have a step counter.
Usually, Honor smartphones that carry an “i” suffix are watered down and affordable variants of the standard handset and similar strategy is expected to be adopted with the Honor Band 5i. Even though this cannot be confirmed, we assume the only alteration with this variant will be the new type of charging connector which was previously mentioned and the lack of NFC.
All in all, all the assumptions will be clarified once the device is officially launched on the 22nd of October which is when we will update you. So stay tuned.
