Huawei is releasing two more lifestyle devices in Singapore: the Huawei Band 7 and the Huawei Sound Joy.

Both devices will be available in the island from July 4 at all authorized stores and Huawei’s official Lazada and Shopee online stores.

Band 7: Thinnest smart band yet

The Band 7 is the company’s thinnest smart band to date which packs a punch with its comprehensive all-day health monitoring features.

As usual, it boasts Huawei’s TruSleep technology, TruRelax pressure-tracking algorithm for stress, and an upgraded TruSeen 4.0 for accurate heart monitoring.

The wearable also features 96 workout modes, up to 14 days battery life, and a 194 x 368 high quality glass display.

Available in Graphite Black, Wilderness Green, and Nebula Pink, the Band 7 will retail for SG$ 68 (from SG$ 88) as an introductory offer.

Sound Joy: Convenient audio experience

The slim, lightweight, and ergonomic Sound Joy is designed to deliver a better audio experience for users on the go.

It is powered by Devialet SAM technology for clearer audio with minimal distortion and deep bass.

There is a Shake Stereo Link Up function that allows two Sound Joy units to be paired and turned into a stereo system for bigger parties.

Its One-Touch Transfer feature allows users to connect their device to the speaker and instantly transfer media playing on it.

Aside from these, the Sound Joy also has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating and an anti-slip surface. Its battery supports up to 26 hours of play time, as well as fast charging.

Available in Obsidian Black and Spruce Green, the Sound Joy is priced at SG$ 168 (from SG$ 188) when it releases.
