Huawei has been focusing on other products to expand its portfolio as it cannot generate much revenue through smartphones given that the brand is facing some heavy sanctions from the United States.
In line with that, the Chinese company has been focusing on a wide range of products and one of them is Smart Home devices. Last month, Huawei Smart Door Lock and Smart Door Lock Pro were announced in China.
Today, the company has started taking pre-orders for both devices. The Huawei Smart Door Lock is priced at 2,499 yuan (~$392) while the Pro model costs 3,699 yuan (~$580). The products can now be pre-ordered through Huawei Mall and JD.com and will go on sale from 28th April in the Chinese market.
Both these new smart door locks come powered by Huawei’s self-developed HarmonyOS, making it the world’s first smart lock to be using HarmonyOS. Thus, it is also a part of the HarmonyOS ecosystem and can be connected to other smart devices within the home.
The Smart Door Lock Pro is capable of 3D facial recognition and its AI architecture ensures self-learning that improves facial recognition over time. It is claimed to unlock the door within a couple of seconds of assessing the person at the door.
The company says that there’s a probability of 1 in a million that it will unlock the door for someone who ought not to gain access. It features a P50 Pro camera that can identify objects within a 150-degree viewing angle.
The device works for persons between 3.4 ft and 6.6 ft and can also work in both bright and dark light situations. The Huawei Smart Door Lock Pro has a 3.97-inch display that enables the owner to view persons at the door.
Huawei Smart Door Lock Pro also has several unlocking options including automatic, fingerprint, smartphone or smartwatch, password, NFC card, and a physical key. It is powered by an 8,800mAh battery that offers up to 6 months of daily usage.
