Huawei's next smartwatch has leaked and it doesn't run Wear OS
The 2018 Huawei Watch GT
It’s unclear at this stage what processor the Watch GT 2 will use but it’ll presumably be powered by Huawei’s Lite OS internationally while China may receive a Harmony OS-powered variant. Other features should include a GPS tracker, Bluetooth support, and a new microphone and speaker which suggest an LTE model may be in the works.
Lastly, Huawei’s Watch GT 2 will apparently focus heavily on physical activity. The optical heart rate monitor that was present on last year’s model is said to be returning and will likely be accompanied by support for a range of workout modes including hiking, running, cycling, and swimming. To help maximize usage, the wearable is expected to support an impressive battery life that’ll likely sit in the region of 2 weeks. This will be made possible by a slightly higher 450mAh capacity.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 will probably be announced on September 19 alongside the Mate 30 Pro. The wearable will reportedly be sold in ‘Classic’ and ‘Sport’ variants with sales expected to commence in early to mid-October.
