At the launch event where Honor introduced the Magic 6 Ultimate and Magic 6 RSR Porsche Design models, they also unveiled the new Honor Band 9 model. As one of the prominent brands in the smart wristband market, Honor skipped Band 8 and introduced the Band 9 model. The Honor Band 9 stands out with its larger screen compared to the previous model and other features and price.
Honor Band 9 features and price
Introduced at the launch event, the Honor Band 9 features a screen size of 1.57 inches, up from 1.47 inches in Band 7. Honor is already known for its large-screen models in the smart wristband market, and the Band 9 takes it further by approaching smartwatch screen sizes. However, it’s important to note that this screen is not wider but rather longer compared to a smartwatch. This is one of the factors that distinguishes the Band 9 model from a smartwatch.
This large AMOLED screen has a resolution of 402 x 256 pixels, 302 ppi pixel density, and a 60Hz refresh rate. In addition to being much larger than the previous model, the curved structure of the screen has also contributed to a much more stylish design. Surrounding the smart wristband is a plastic surface with a metal coating. Whether this metal coating will peel off during use remains a topic of curiosity.
Despite the increase in screen size, this model, like the Honor Band 7, boasts a battery life of up to 14 days. This battery life remains consistent with the previous model, offering around 10 days of usage under normal conditions.
The flagship Honor Magic 6 Ultimate model was introduced. So what does the smartphone offer to users? Here are the details!
Another notable feature among the specifications of the Band 9 smart wristband is its 5 ATM water resistance. This means that the smart wristband is waterproof up to 50 meters, allowing you to use it while swimming.
Honor Band 9 also stands out with basic health features such as 96 sports modes, sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and blood oxygen level measurement. Additionally, a new health application called Fitness Age is introduced with Honor Band 9. As the name suggests, Fitness Age is an application that measures your health age. Band 9 collects health data and transfers it to this application, which then provides you with your health age on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
