It will let users access all the notifications including caller's name, mute or reject incoming calls, and watch faces. The Honor Band 5 makes it easy to locate the phone, provided the devices are paired.

There is TruSeen 3.0 for continuous heart rate tracking. The company claims that the accuracy of heart rate monitoring is exceptional that it can be compared to the professional heart rate monitors.

There is a 6-axis sensor, infrared wearing detection sensor, PPG heart rate sensor, water and dust resistance and a 100mAh battery touted to deliver up to 14 days of usage time and up to 20 days of standby time.

Our Take On Honor Band 5

The Honor Band 4 was launched in India for Rs. 2,599. Given that the Honor Band 5 is its successor, we can expect it to be priced relatively higher than the Band 4. It features a color display as the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 that went official in China recently making us believe that it could be a rival to it.
