News & Reviews:   Huawei TalkBand B1 Malaysia release date

Introduced earlier this year, the Huawei Talkband B1 is the company's first smart wearable device in the market. Offering a 2-in-1 combo in terms of functionality, the smartband is a combination smartwatch fitness tracker and bluetooth headset all in one. It does this by popping out of the wristband and then sticking into your ear like any other bluetooth headset. We managed to get a hands-on with the device but here are the tech specs for now:

• 1.4 inch flexible OLED
• 247.5 / 221.5 x 19.3 x 14.6mm | 26.2g (9.4g headset + 16.8g wristband)
• Supports Bluetooth 3.0, NFC fast pairing
• Features dual-mic noise reduction, 7 hours talk time 2 weeks stand-by
• Compatible with Huawei MediaPad X1 / M1 / Ascend P7 / P6 / P6s / Mate / Mate2 / Y530 / Y330 / Y300 / G730 / G610 / Y600 / G6 / B199 / Honor 3C / Honor 3X / SAMSUNG Galaxy S5/S4/S3/Note 3 LTE/Note 2, MEIZU MX3
• 90 mAh battery
• IP57 water and dust resistance

As rumoured, Huawei recently came out with their first smartwatch called the Huawei TalkBand B1. Featuring a bended 1.4-inch OLED display, the TalkBand B1 looks more like a smartband than a smartwatch with a silicon band that should fit most wrists. While the TalkBand B1 functions in the same way as other bluetooth companion devices, one of it's main features includes the ability to take out the OLED display and use it as a Bluetooth earpiece.
