Huawei unveils first smartwatch, new Talkband
2015-03-01 19:24:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Huawei has unveiled its first smartwatch at Mobile World Congress, as well as a new version of its TalkBand, first presented at MWC last year. The Huawei Watch features a 1.4-inch Amoled, scratch-proof and water-proof screen with 400x400 resolution and compact stainless steel body. Powered by Google's Android Wear, the watch offers a range of communication notifications from linked Android 4.3 or higher smartphones as well as health-tracking functions using its 6-axis sensor. Available in a choice of three colours (gold, silver, black), the watch runs a Qualcomm 1.2GHz processor and includes 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM and Bluetooth 4.1. The Huawei Watch is expected to launch in mid-2015; the company did not disclose a price. Huawei also plans to release a SDK to support app development for the watch. Huawei also introduced in Barcelona the TalkBand B2, a smartband that comes with a connected Bluetooth headset. The B2 comes with a more business-like professional design than its predecessor, as well as more fitness functions and enhanced syncing with mobile devices. The device detects whether the Bluetooth earpiece is connected to the wristband and if not pushes audio (music/calls) to the smartphone. The TalkBand B2 also comes with a pager to search and locate the smartphone, working with Android 4.0+ and iOS 7.0+ phones.

LG's own smartwatch OS shows promise, but hardware leaves a lot to be desired
2015-03-01 16:00:25| Electronics - Topix.net

LG introduces first smartwatch with LTE
2015-02-26 10:21:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) LG Electronics will unveil its first LTE-enabled smartwatch at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The LG Watch Urbane LTE, the company's fourth smartwatch, also includes NFC to facilitate data sharing and payments. The device features a 1.3-inch Plastic-OLED display and 700mAh battery, and like a 4G phone, can make and answer calls as well as send and receive SMS. With carrier support, the smartwatch offers push-to-talk (PTT) capability with other devices on the same cellular network so customers can use the watch similar to a walkie-talkie. The watch runs the new LG Wearable Platform operating system and otherwise carries most of the features of the earlier LG G Watch R. A button on the side of the phone acts as the 'back' function when pressed quickly and becomes a safety beacon when pressed longer, automatically dialing any preset phone number as well as sending the location coordinates of the wearer. The device also comes with health features such as a built-in heart rate monitor and motion sensors to track fitness goals.
