Huawei is becoming a big name in the smartphone industry, and it seems that the company is now preparing to enter a market growing rapidly, which is none other than portable devices, and more particularly smartwatches.
According to the CEO of Huawei, Richard Yu, the company is working on an Android smartwatch Wear which goes on sale next year .
The information was revealed by Yu in an interview given to Engadget. Unfortunately, he did not reveal any juicy details about the smartwatch, such as design, when it is actually running, or features specific to the OS, etc ... However, he said that it will be " more beautiful "than the Samsung S Gear, and adding that it will be" innovative " .
Why it has targeted Gear S in particular is an enigma. Beauty is really a matter of taste, personality, and why has not he targeted the Motorola Moto 360 and round face? Perhaps, and here are some speculations, he especially compared to the S Gear because Huawei shows that will be a standalone device that will be ability to make calls without being permanently connected to a smartphone? Regardless, this is all we know about the new smartwatch Huawei now.
Anyway, the market smartwatches becoming increasingly competitive, with many players like LG, Samsung or Motorola, launching their own Android smartwatches Wear. But while some seem to jump into the sector lost body, others are revanchent reverse. Indeed, and as I reported earlier in the morning, if HTC was expected to work on a mobile device the Taiwanese firm has apparently abandoned the idea for now.
Instead, Apple is also expected on course this market to launch its own smartwatch called the iWatch, a connected watch that could emerge on September 9 - that is to say tomorrow - and next to the new iPhone 6.
The company has already released a mobile device, a strap connected focused on health, named Huawei Talkband B1 , which is transformed into a Bluetooth headset when you want. But I hope that the company will have better ideas for his next device.
In all cases, the new Ascend Mate 7 Huawei unveiled at IFA 2014 is a pretty successful one phablette version and if the firm puts the same ingredients, coupling high specification at an affordable price, its smartwatch or smartband could surely take off.
So yes, if Huawei wants to have an impact on the market, the Chinese company must ensure that its smartwatch will be different from the competition. I would inform you as soon as we have more information on Huawei smartwatch.
First, we have a taste of a tablet with "a beautiful design and very thin" , and with a battery that will last for several days without needing to go through the charging box. Once the tablet announced, we go to a new smartphone that will apparently be equipped with an incredible front camera . Then we come back to a tablet device with a "multimedia" , which can connect to LTE next-generation networks, which means that connectivity the Huawei tablet could simply support a LTE-Advanced network.
The video teaser Huawei confirms almost all the rumors we had heard so far, indicating that we should expect that the company launched a smartphone and two tablets at the MWC this year. However, we also expected a smartwatch Huawei, something the video does not mention at all. Hopefully it will still be valid.
Let's go back to the video. Now that the promotion of future devices is done, it's time to make fun of competition. Surprised by the new products, the narrator asks "Siri" if they are produced by "Fruit" or "Somesong" - I wonder where the marketing team of Huawei was to find those names there. Anyway, the answer is "No, they are Huawei," and he is ready to "surprise the world again."
