Huawei Band 8 was announced almost a year ago (early April 2023), featuring a much lighter body while retaining the 1.47-inch OLED display. Now number 9 is coming and he’s bringing a friend.

Huawei posted this teaser clips on X which offers glimpses of the new band. We took it and put together a comprehensive look at the Huawei Band 9:

The overall design is the same, a rounded rectangle holding the display with 2.5D glass at the top and a button on the side. Huawei promises that the new model will bring a “new era in wrist fashion and sleep functionality improvements.”

We mentioned a second device and this is a long-awaited sequel: the Huawei FreeLace Pro were announced in August 2020 (they were neckband-style headphones). Huawei FreeLace Pro 2 is finally on its way, as seen in another teaser clip.

Once again, we’ve taken the video and put together an easier-to-view static image:

Check out our review of the original. The FreeLace Pro had an IP55 rating, offered 24-hour battery life and featured active noise cancellation (ANC) for €120. The new model promises “a world of convenience and get ready for an immersive experience ”.

Both the Band 9 and FreeLace Pro 2 are tagged #ComingSoon, but the posts don’t get more specific than that.
