On the afternoon of April 17, Huawei held a new product launch conference in Shanghai, releasing several new products including the Huawei Band 8. Huawei Band 8 focuses on thinness and fashion, and the price starts from 269 yuan. So what about Huawei Band 8? Today we will go through the detailed evaluation of Huawei Band 8 to give you a comprehensive understanding.
1. Appearance: light and thin and then evolved
In fact, the previous generation of Huawei Band 7 is already quite good in terms of volume control. For the first time, the thickness of the full-screen bracelet has been reduced to within 10mm. The Huawei Band 8 reduces the thickness to 8.99mm and the weight of the body to 14g. It is claimed to be Huawei's lightest and thinnest large-screen smart bracelet so far. You must know that this is all done without reducing the screen and battery life experience. There is no doubt that in the full-screen smart bracelet market, Huawei Band 8 has achieved ceiling-level performance.
Why do smart bracelets need to emphasize volume and weight so much? From the perspective of experience and functional attributes, a good smart bracelet is in daily life, and its existence cannot be felt. For example, the sleep monitoring function, due to the more comfortable and non-sense wearing experience, the frequency of use of the bracelet is much higher than that of the watch, which is the meaning of thinner and lighter bracelets.
The appearance of the Huawei Band 8 continues the square dial design. The style is simple but also attractive. It must be versatile for the style of clothing. If you look closely, there is a 2.5DIt must be curved surface treatment between the edge of the screen and the frame. With a screen-to-body ratio of up to 65%, there is no lack of refinement after the screen is turned on.
The screen is equipped with a 1.47-inch AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 368 x 194, the display effect is quite delicate, the brightness of the screen is relatively high, and the look and feel are still clear under direct sunlight outdoors. Thanks to the large screen, notification messages can be displayed on one screen, avoiding the embarrassment of small screen bracelets needing marquees to display long notifications.
With a large screen, it is natural not to be "wasted". The dial market provides 10,000+ different styles of dials, and can also transfer photos from the phone to the bracelet to form a custom dial. At the same time, Huawei Band 8 also supports wearing a dial, which can generate a suitable style of dial according to different outfits every day. In terms of richness of personalization, it is no longer inferior to smartwatches, which are worthy of praise.
Huawei Band 8 provides four different styles and colors: Magic Night Black, Cherry Pink, Emerald Green, and Vibrant Orange. The one I got is the Magic Night Black color version. The wristband is made of TPU material and the length is also Yes, antibacterial ions are added for the first time this time, so there will be no residual sweat stains in daily experience, and there is no need to worry about allergies with environmentally friendly materials.
2. Sports health: precise monitoring with high-precision algorithms
Health monitoring is the basic function of smart bracelets, but the experience between different products is still quite large, thanks to Huawei's huge range of smart wearable products and its self-built sports health laboratory, even if It is an entry-level product such as a bracelet, and it also has high-precision algorithm support.
As mentioned earlier, sleep monitoring is an important usage scenario for bracelet products. The HUAWEI TruSleep™ 3.0 sleep monitoring technology equipped with Huawei Band 8 can record falling asleep and waking up. Compared with the previous generation, it has improved accuracy and can be more scientific. Determine the core factors that affect sleep, and give scientific suggestions to help you improve.
It is really practical for me who often stays up late to practice immortality. In addition, the Huawei Band 8 itself is very thin and light, and it basically has no sense of existence when wearing it to sleep. I wear it all the time except for bathing. The longer the monitoring time, the less the measured data. The more scientific and representative.
In terms of heart rate monitoring technology, the accuracy of heart rate monitoring has also been upgraded. Through the Sports Health APP, you can view the resting heart rate change curve for the past week. At the same time, it supports the automatic blood oxygen detection function. When low blood oxygen levels occur, it will automatically alarm and give the elders at home It will be more reassuring to use.
Huawei Band 8 supports up to 100 sports mode monitoring this time, basically covering mainstream common sports. I personally like the automatic recognition function of sports status, which will automatically determine whether it is running or walking, which saves a lot of trouble.
And the recorded data is also very rich. The path trajectory and dynamic heart rate are quite accurate, and they will also provide exercise intensity guidance. If you are exercising to lose weight, it can better help you maintain the optimal fat-burning heart rate.
3. Daily experience: rich functions and full battery life
Huawei Band 8 is equipped with HarmonyOS 3.1, and the UI style is more integrated with the mobile phone. At the same time, in terms of interaction, a smart negative screen has also been added. Swipe to the right to display information such as to-do itineraries, express delivery, and flights.
The battery life is even more impressive. The battery life of up to 14 days is very good, but many friends should be like me. The price of too long battery life is often forgetting to charge, but Huawei Band 8 is still very sincere in fast charging. It is sufficient, it can be used for two days after charging for 5 minutes, and it can be fully charged in 45 minutes.
4. Evaluation Summary
On the whole, Huawei Band 8 is very powerful in design, function, and application scenarios. The price of 100 yuan allows us to enjoy Huawei's latest Hongmeng smart ecology. It can be said that it has once again refreshed the upper limit of smart bracelet categories.
Huawei is very aware of the pain points of wristband users. It continues to make subtractions in size and weight to create a light and thin experience advantage among similar products. While realizing these basics, it also does not forget to add functions and carefully polish them in sports. The health monitoring accuracy and overall performance are satisfactory. If you are using a Huawei mobile phone and plan to buy a relatively inexpensive bracelet, the Huawei Band 8 is currently a very good choice.
