Huawei continues its resurgence in the extended tech market by releasing two smart wearable devices that offer some wonderful upgrades from their predecessors. Today, the Chinese tech giant has released the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro ECG and the Band 6 Pro smartwatches today.

It features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display, 100 workout modes and comes with Huawei’s Lite OS. The Watch GT 2 Pro ECG has Sapphite crystal-infused glass protection and a titanium frame.

The Huawei Band 6 Pro sports a bigger 1.47-inch AMOLED display and the same sensors as the Watch GT 2 Pro, except that the ECG sensor is absent in the Band 6 Pro, replaced by a body temperature sensor. The Band 6 Pro has up to 96 workout modes. It also has a 14-day battery life on a full charge and moderate usage.

Huawei is expected to launch a handful of products this month. While most folks are looking forward to the arrival of the Huawei P50 series, a leak has revealed there are other interesting products coming too.

The Weibo account @菊厂影业Fans, known for Huawei-related leaks and news has some of the products the Chinese manufacturer has planned for launch this month. Among them are two wearables – the Huawei Band 6 Pro and the Huawei Children’s Watch 4X Pro.

We are surprised about the Band 6 Pro as it is coming just three months after the standard version was announced. However, the Children’s Watch 4X was released last July, so a successor is expected.

Huawei will also announce a smart display for kids, following in the footsteps of Amazon who unveiled a kids version of the Echo Show 5 back in May. Its Smart Screen (read smart TV) S series will also get a pro model while the Smart Screen X series will come in a new size.

The leaker adds that Huawei will not be announcing new notebooks this month. So, if you have been looking forward to new MateBook models, sorry to disappoint but that won’t be happening according to the source.

We do not know if all of these products will be announced together at one event or will have separate announcements. Once we have more details, we will let you know.

Huawei has recently been preparing to host another press conference soon. Apparently, the company might be holding the conference to announce new products that will launch new month in April 2021.

According to a Zol report, sources close to the matter have stated that the Huawei Band 6 series will be launching next month. The lineup will include the base Band 6 and the higher end Band 6 Pro. Notably, the new wearables would also be a part of the company’s efforts to focus on its IoT products portfolio and its development, as its primary source of revenue, the smartphone business, continues to suffer due to the US sanctions.

The sources also added that along with the new smart wearables, the Chinese tech giant is also planning on launching a new smart watch from its Huawei Watch Fit lineup as well. These smart watches feature a square display with AMOLED display panels with full color range as well. While we can expect the new smart band and smart watch to arrive with similar design and functionality, it would also likely feature a few upgrades and improvements as well.

At the moment, finer details regarding the upcoming wearables are currently unknown, But the report did add that the new product launches will be for gadgets under 1000 Yuan (roughly 153 US Dollars), although, it is unsure which products the pricing is for. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.
