Huawei Band 4 launched last October in China for 199 Yuan ($28). It later landed the Indian shores in late January for the same price tag of ₹1,999 ($28). Now, the fitness tracker is receiving a new firmware update, which enables the idle SpO2 sensor present on this wearable.
The Huawei Band 4 shares all of its specs with Honor Band 5i that launched around the same time. The only difference between them is the design of the capacitive home button.
These fitness trackers feature SpO2 sensor to monitor blood oxygen levels. But the sensor comes disabled out of the box. The Honor Band 5i received a firmware update in March to enable this sensor. Now, the Huawei Band is also getting a similar treatment.
The new 5.46MB update for Huawei Band 4 bumps up the firmware version to 1.0.2.96. It brings the following changes to the fitness tracker.
Huawei Band 4 Firmware v1.0.2.96 Changelog
- Enables SpO2 sensor
- Optimizes user experience
- Optimizes the workout experience
- Optimizes the Alarm feature
- Fixes some display issues
The update is being rolled out in batches and Huawei asks users to only update when the tracker has at least 20% battery. As per the company, the update will take about 20 minutes to install.
