Huawei TalkBand 5 surfaces in renders ahead of July launch
Huawei is set to release the latest version of its TalkBand. The TalkBand 5 can be worn as a watch, but also features a pop out ear piece for taking and making calls on the move.
It's been a bit quiet on on the wearables front recenty, but Huawei is still showing interest in the space. A recent tweet from tipster Evan Blass shows a render of the TalkBand 5, which is a further refinement of a theme that Huawei has been developing over the past few years. As with its predecessors, the device features a Bluetooth earpiece that pops out to take calls, but also doubles as a display when placed in its wrist worn dock.
Unfortunately, details about the TalkBand 5 are few and far between at this stage. Previous versions have incorporated an OLED display, which still looks to be the case. They have also supported both Android and iOS devices in the past. We also expect that it will continue to have a focus on fitness tracking features as well, along with the option to swap out the band depending on occasion.
Expect more to be revealed in the next few weeks, with its official unveiling seemingly not too far away.

I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
