Back in November 2020, the Chinese manufacturer Honor introduced the Honor Band 6 in China. This smart band comes with a price tag of RMB 249 (US$38) and is sold in China. However, yesterday the company officially announced the worldwide release of this device. According to Honor, this device will hit the shelves for €50, which is roughly $59. The first official sales will begin on March 28.
Honor Band is a long series of fairly cheap and durable trackers with portable displays. However, the Honor Band 6 does something different. It undergoes significant changes in its design, making it closer to a smartwatch.
The Honor Band 6 comes with a large 1,47-inch AMOLED display with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 64%. This display uses 2.5D curved glass as well as a side button. This band also comes with fourth-generation HUAWEI TreSeen 4.0 heart rate monitoring technology. It supports blood oxygen saturation monitoring, heart condition monitoring, HUAWEI TruSleep 2.0 sleep control technology, HUAWEI Trurelax stress butler and women's health management.
In addition, Honor Band 6 supports 10 sports modes to satisfy your daily sports scenes. In addition, it supports automatic recognition of exercise categories and automatically reminds you if you forget to record during exercise. The Honor Band 6 also has an NFC version that supports 312 city buses / subways and 100+ community access controls.
For the first time, Honor Band 6 uses fast charging technology on the strip. According to the company, a five-minute charge will give an average of two days of use. This band also uses a powerful magnetic suction fast charge.
