HUAWEI has a strong impression as a smartphone maker, but we also sell many products such as PCs, tablets, smart watches and completely wireless earphones.
On July 13, 2021, we announced that we will launch several products such as the latest notebook PCs and external monitors in the Japanese market. This time, we will focus on smartwatches and audio products and check the details.
Earphones equipped with noise cancel and glasses-type earphones are now available in high-performance smart watches!
HUAWEI's wearable products announced this time are the smart watch "HUAWEI Watch 3", the open type completely wireless earphone "HUAWEI FreeBuds 4", and the rare audio product "HUAWEI x GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II" in the shape of glasses. Three.
All of these products are equipped with high functionality and cost tens of thousands of yen, but since they are all products that make your life comfortable with a little luxury, why not consider purchasing them as a reward for yourself?
The smart watch "HUAWEI Watch 3" newly released by HUAWEI is equipped with a 1.43 inch organic EL display. It has a relatively large screen as a smart watch, and by adopting an organic EL panel with good color development, it is a product that can be expected to be visible even outdoors.
The body is made of stainless steel for a luxurious finish. The battery performance that can be used continuously for up to 3 days in smart mode and for about 14 days in long-lasting mode is also attractive.
As a new feature, it is now possible to install the app on the HUAWEI Watch 3 itself. The app can be installed directly from the main unit, or from the "HUAWEI Health" app on the connected smartphone.
Smartwatches are a group of products that are useful not only for checking the time but also for health management and fitness assistance. In addition to recording more than 100 types of workouts, this product is equipped with a body surface temperature measurement function, a fall detection function, and a blood oxygen level measurement function.
In addition, it is equipped with a hand-washing detection function according to the current situation of Korona-ka. It detects if you are washing your hands well for 20 seconds and notifies you, so it is a recommended function for people who tend to skip hand washing.
When the HUAWEI Watch 3 was announced in the global market, it was introduced that it would support "eSIM", but the Japanese model does not support eSIM at this time. HUAWEI will make efforts to respond in the future.
The release is scheduled for July 30, 2021, and two models with different belt designs are available, and the release price on the official HP is 54,780 yen for the brown classic model and 50,380 yen for the black sports model. It has become.
The completely wireless earphone "HUAWEI FreeBuds 4" is a fairly lightweight product with a mass of about 4.1g. It has an ergonomic shape designed by scanning the ears of more than 10,000 people.
The mainstream of completely wireless earphones is a canal type product that is used by firmly inserting it into the ear canal, but this product uses an open type with excellent openness, so you can listen even if you use it for a long time. You can expect less fatigue.
Since open earphones do not completely block your ears, many products tend to be a little worried about sound leakage. Therefore, the leaking sound may not reach the ear sufficiently, but this product scans the shape of the user's ear and corrects the sound that is thought to leak, so that the sound is close to the original sound. It can be played.
In addition, it is equipped with an active noise canceling function, which is rare for open-type earphones that do not block your ears. This is also designed to detect the user's ear and reduce noise accordingly, so you can feel the high level of HUAWEI's AI technology cultivated in smartphones.
The sound quality is also excellent, and the main body has a built-in driver that is quite large as a complete wireless earphone with 14.3 mm. Open-type earphones are originally good at playing wide-ranging sounds, but in addition, the deep bass played by a large driver reaches your ears with power.
It will be released on July 30, 2021, and the selling price on the official website is planned to be 18,480 yen. There are two color variations, ceramic white and silver frost.
The glasses-type audio product "HUAWEI x GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II", which was jointly developed with the sunglasses brand "GENTLE MONSTER", is also on sale. Two models are available, a normal glasses type and a sunglasses type.
We collect data on more than 40,000 users to improve the fit. Furthermore, by adjusting the center of gravity of the main body to the center, it is designed so that the weight on the nose pad and ears is even.
The temples (parts that you put on your ears) are sensors that allow you to adjust the volume and advance songs. Since it has a mounting detection function, music playback will automatically stop when this product is removed, and playback will resume when it is remounted.
The speakers have a semi-open design and are designed to reach your ears directly. I'm worried about sound leakage, but by emitting sound waves that are out of phase with the sound being reproduced in space, the leaking sound can be canceled.
In addition, it is equipped with an "adaptive sound control" function that detects environmental sounds and automatically adjusts the volume, so you can use it with confidence to some extent even if there is sound leakage.
A product with a unique shape that attracts a lot of attention personally. Since detailed technologies such as fit, sound quality, and sound leakage should be refined in the future, the shape of the earphones has been decided to some extent, and I felt that there is a possibility that it will become established as a new common sense.
Released on July 13, 2021, the selling price on the official website is 43,780 yen for both sunglasses type and glasses type.
