Huawei‘s smartphone business may have plunged into abysmal depths presently but like the company hinted recently, the smartphone arm is just a small part of the sprawling conglomerate. Huawei, Wednesday, announced an avalanche of products ranging from laptop, smart TVs, gaming monitors, earbuds to smartwatch. Huawei equally launched a series of smart home products. One of them is the Huawei Smart Body Fat Scale 3 Pro.

Huawei didn’t just name this a “Pro” model as a stylized name but the body weight scale actually lives up to its billing as an improved model equipped with eight electrodes that is capable of measuring body fat to a high degree of accuracy that is comparable to what obtains on professional products such as the DEXA scan.

In the health circle, body scale are considered to be highly inaccurate as they use bioelectrical impedance and the reading can be affected by factors such as hydration, skin temperature, meal time and exercise. But the Huawei scale 3 Pro instead of using 4 electrodes, is equipped with 8 electrodes with the extra 4 electrodes housed in a retractable handle bar.

Huawei claims the data is very accurate as the upper limbs, lower limbs, and torso are measured, unlike the 4-electrode scale that measures the lower limbs only. The scale can be used by people of various body types from 6 to 80 years old. The device further analysizes the liver fat to help detect any abnormality.

In terms of the design, the Huawei Smart Body Fat Scale 3 Pro features a minimalist but fashionable design that fits in seamlessly into the home. It features an hidden LED display embedded on the tempered glass scale surface. The surface also has a transparent ITO conductive film (electrode) while the body is made of ABS engineering plastic.

The scale is equipped with both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity which can be used to connect and to synchronize the data with the companion app and also to store the user’s data in the cloud. It is powered by three AA batteries which can last for about 360 days assuming the scale is used once daily.

The scale won’t take up too much space as it has a dimension of 320 x 320 x 79mm and weighs just around 2.25kg.

The Huawei Smart Scale 3 Pro is presently available for pre-order at Huawei’s Mall – Vmall and is priced at 499 yuan (~$77). Just like the other products announced, the smart scale will also go on sale on June 1.
