The Meizu H1 Smartband is expected to launch on the 6th of December alongside the Meizu M5 Note which is to be their last phone for the year. It has been reported that the smartband will be available in two versions: a standard edition and a premium edition with a flexible display expected to launch next year.

The standard edition was rumored to be priced at ¥229 ($33) but an image that surfaced online recently shows that Meizu’s smartband will sell at a much higher price of ¥499 (~$72), which is more than double the $33 price tag.

JD Mall will also be holding a Meizu sales day on the 8th of December and have listed the Meizu M5 Note as coming soon. The online shop will be the first to take stock of the new device and you can register to pre-order one.

The Meizu H1 Smartband isn’t new, it first leaked before the launch of the Meizu M5 and we thought it would be released along with the M5 but that didn’t happen. Again, several images were spotted online yesterday revealing the box casing as well as the Smartband itself. There is a new twist, though, as image of what is said to be a high-end, premium version of the Meizu H1 Smartband has leaked online.

While the H1 Smartband is expected to launch on December 6 along with the M5 Note, the high-end version may likely come in the first half of next year. The high-end version is also rumored with a huge price tag of 1599 Yuan ($232). That is way above the 299 Yuan ($33) the low-end version is expected to carry on launch day.

As would be recalled, Meizu has scheduled a concert holding today in Beijing China and during the concert we had gotten hint that the Meizu M5 would be officially launched. Turns out Meizu is also planning to unveil another device alongside the M5, which by the way sounds like a name from a James Bond movie. Ahead of the concert, renders of the Meizu H1 SmartBand has been teased also, and is said to likely be unveiled today.

Not much detail is known about the Meizu H1 SmartBand but the renders look very similar in design to those if the Xiaomi Mi Band and possibly, the specs would also be similar. The display is shown to be similar to the Mi Band with the time function in blue shown in the render above. The device may likely also feature other specs like heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, pedometer etc.

To further buttress the theory that the H1 SmartBand would likely be launched today, the live image of the wrist band has been leaked right from the concert venue. The H1 SmartBand image appears along with the likely price tag and is alleged to have been grabbed off the dress rehearsal for the concert. What we are not so sure about is the 499 Yuan ($73) price tag the device is listed to sell for.

The Mi Band 2, Xiaomi’s latest, retails for 149 Yuan ($22) and even on various unofficial channels the price doesn’t exceed 200 Yuan ($30).
