Huawei Band 10 India Launch: Expected Price, Features

According to industry sources, the Huawei Band 10 will make its India debut as soon as this week. Despite packing a plethora of health and fitness management features, the fitness tracker will be priced under Rs. 5,000. This is in line with the pricing of the previous model, the Huawei Band 9, which was launched at a “special price” of Rs. 3,999.

The fitness tracker is said to sport an aluminium alloy frame for a more refined and premium appearance, targeting style-conscious users. Images suggest that it will have similar design elements as its predecessor, including a rectangular dial and a single physical button placed at the centre of the right spine. It could be offered in multiple colourways including a blue, green, and purple option, with the dial being colour-matched to the strap.

Huawei Band 10 will build upon the fitness features offered by the Band 9 by introducing holistic health-focussed features like stress monitoring and deeper sleep analysis. It is said to bring improved design, better sensors, and a smarter experience overall, whilst keeping it accessible to the masses in terms of the pricing.

Notably, the fitness tracker was introduced in China in February, and its Indian counterpart could debut with similar features.
