OnePlus has just published a teaser image hinting at the presence of a dedicated heart rate sensor on the handset. The image does not explicitly confirm the presence of the sensor, but it contains an electrocardiogram with a 6 in the middle which suggests that it may indeed be present.

Heart rate monitoring is a popular feature on smartwatches, smart bands, and similar fitness trackers. Thanks to heart rate sensor we can easily analyze our level of fatigue while we are busy with a physical activity. With the wearable market not making the same numbers as the smartphones market, having a heart sensor on the OnePlus 6 may be an interesting feature for many who do not want a wearable to monitor their activity.

OnePlus 6 will be officially unveiled in China on May 17 by 10:00. It is said to feature a 6.28-inch display with a 19:9 aspect ratio (due to the notch) and a Full HD+ 1080p resolution. The internals will include an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, 6 or 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage depending on the variant. There should also be a 20 + 16 MP dual rear camera.

Since leaving Xiaomi’s cloak, Huami has focused on the Amazfit brand, which had a smartwatch to its name. The company has now added a new smart fitness band which functions like the Mi Band 2 and even has more fitness and health tracking features. It is worthy to note that Huami still manufactures the Mi Band 2 for Xiaomi.

The Amazfit smartband comes with a built-in ECG sensor which performs functions like heart rate monitoring, pulse monitoring and others. The device comes with a body made from both aluminium and stainless steel. While the strap is made from a 19mm-wide skin-friendly rubber. There is a 0.42-inch OLED display at the front and from the display, you can access features such as time and date and other parameters.

Apart from the heart rate monitor, the Amazfit fitness band is also equipped with a built-in ECG sensor which can track data and display it on its own display or on a connected smartphone. There is also a PPG photoelectric sensor that monitors the heart rate and sleep pattern. The health band detects variation in heart rate and notifies the wearer promptly. It also features a low energy-Bluetooth 4.0 through which it is paired to a smartphone via an app and the fitness data can then be accessed on the phone.

Further, the Huami Amazfit comes with a triaxial acceleration sensor as well as an IP67 dust and waterproof certification. The device is kept on by a 95mAH battery which gets fully charged in just 2.5 hours and can last up to 7 days on a full charge. The fitness band is ultra-light, weighing just 10g.
