Honor Band A2 with 0.96-inch display, heart rate sensor announced

Huawei sub-brand Honor is giving last year's Honor Band A1 a major upgrade. Dubbed Honor Band A2, the new fitness tracker comes with a display and heart rate sensor, that was missing in its predecessor.

The Honor Band A2 has 0.96-inch OLED touch display, and heart rate sensor with continous heart rate tracking. Much like other fitness tracker, it comes with fitness tracking functions like distance traveled, steps taken, calories burned and sleep monitoring. It can also track cycling rides and provide real time data for it, and provides sedentary reminders.

The fitness tracker can also alert users for incoming call and message notification when connected to a compatible smartphone (Android 4.4 and up or iOS 8.0 or up) via Bluetooth 4.1. It is also IP67 rated for water and dust resistance, and the strap comes in different patterns and colors including Black, Green, White and Red.

It is fueled by a 95mAh battery that is rated to deliver up to nine days of battery life and 18 days on standby time.

The Honor Band A2 is priced at CNY 199 ($29 | Rs. 1,870) and will go on sale in China starting June 9.
