Huawei CEO Richard Yu has confirmed on Weibo that the company will be announcing their new Huawei Watch 2 at Mobile World Congress later this month.
Google recently launched their new Android Wear 2.0 OS and the new Huawei Watch 2 will be an Android Wear 2.0 device.
Anticipated Features and Design
As yet there are no details on the device, we do not know if it will have the same design as the existing model and whether it will just get some hardware updates or a complete new design. However, given the advancements in wearable technology, it is expected that the Huawei Watch 2 will come with several enhancements.
Rumors have suggested that the company will launch a more sportier version of their smart watch this year. This could mean a more rugged design, possibly with features aimed at fitness enthusiasts such as improved water resistance, GPS tracking, and enhanced heart rate monitoring. The sporty design might also include interchangeable bands and a more durable screen to withstand rigorous activities.
Android Wear 2.0 Integration
The integration of Android Wear 2.0 is a significant upgrade. Android Wear 2.0 brings a host of new features to smartwatches, including standalone apps that do not require a phone to function, a revamped user interface, and improved fitness tracking capabilities. Users can also expect better battery life management and more intuitive controls.
One of the standout features of Android Wear 2.0 is the Google Assistant, which allows users to perform tasks using voice commands. This could make the Huawei Watch 2 a more versatile and user-friendly device. Additionally, the new OS supports Android Pay, enabling users to make payments directly from their smartwatch.
Market Expectations and Competition
The smartwatch market is highly competitive, with major players like Apple, Samsung, and Fitbit constantly innovating. The Huawei Watch 2 will need to offer unique features and superior performance to stand out. Given Huawei’s track record, there is a high expectation that the Watch 2 will deliver on both fronts.
For instance, the original Huawei Watch was praised for its classic design and high-resolution display. If the Watch 2 can build on these strengths while incorporating new features like LTE connectivity and advanced health monitoring, it could become a strong contender in the market.
We will have more information about the new Huawei Watch 2 when it is made official at MWC 2017 later this month.
