Luxshare Precision is a Chinese electronics manufacturer. It provides tech makers with essential components for devices. The company is one of the major suppliers of Apple for its smartwatches, iPhones, AirPods, and HomePods.

It seems the Luxshare Precision is now expanding its supplier business for Huawei wearables. According to a new report, Luxshare is planning a huge investment to build production facilities for both Apple and Huawei smartwatch products.

The Chinese supplier may soon invest $150 million in Nghe An, Vietnam. It aims to lay new production lines in Southeast Asia that can boost the development of wearables for Apple and Huawei. The other details on this matter are unknown.

Luxshare has been planning the investment for a long time. Apart from the wearables, it may also establish production facilities for Apple’s handset to become the second-largest iPhone assembler after the Taiwanese Kunshan plant.

Huawei Smartwatches

Huawei continues to appear as a top rival in the smartwatch market. The company has recently unveiled several wrist gadgets like the Watch GT 5 series, Watch D2, and Watch Ultimate Green Edition in the global market with interesting features.

On the other hand, it introduced a new TruSense health system that bears advanced sensors to detect the precise health of an individual and offer accurate reports within seconds. This tracking capability makes Huawei wearables a powerful opponent against its rivals in the Chinese and global markets.

The Chinese OEM may tie hands with the Apple iPhone assembler – Luxshare in the time ahead to increase its smartwatch production in the respective region.

The CQC certificate counts under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China. It validates that the devices or products fulfill the Chinese standard. Now a new Huawei watch received this certificate, implying its nearing launch.

According to the details, the new Huawei smartwatch EDD-B39 supports UWB (Ultra Wide-Band). The wireless communication tech ensures lower power consumption and high bandwidth. Users get better short-range communication with this feature.

It also supports the Beidou satellite SMS feature. The features run on the Beidou Navigation Satellite System and allow users to send or receive messages without a cellular network. It is a quite helpful feature at times of urgency.

The device also has a CW03 charging base panel and supports wireless charging. Note that the charging base model is the same as found on the Watch 4.

Before jumping to conclusions, note that the satellite SMS feature is only available to Watch Ultimate (CLB-B19). Huawei has recently certified the Watch Ultimate 2 with model number WDS-B19 with the same UWB and satellite SMS support. Now another wearable in this segment has raised several questions in the mind.

It could be one of the Watch 5 models or any other variant in the Ultimate series. If the former statement is correct, then Huawei is seemingly expanding satellite features for wearables. If the latter is correct, we may get two Watch Ultimate 2 variants.

The exact details of this new Huawei smartwatch are unclear. Perhaps we have to wait some more days to get accurate information about this wearable.

Advanced Health Sensors: Xuanji (TruSense)

On August 27th, Huawei introduced the Xuanji sensing system. The term Xuanji is made up of two words: ‘Xuan’ means dark black or blue color, and Ji refers to an instrument (here, sensor) to sense something and decide the next step on it.

Together, both words mean an instrument that lets humans examine their health status timely and get an accurate report on it. Thus, the upcoming smartwatch users will always have a reliable health companion on their wrist with a stable experience.

TruSense sensing system is built upon six strong parameters that result in a more precise, more comprehensive, and faster experience. These are speed, flexibility, responsiveness, extension, accuracy, and comprehensiveness. All these points are interrelated with each other and create a super technical formation in the wearable.

Huawei further revealed that the new smart wearable’s perception system can easily detect a user’s emotional state through heart rate. When wearing the smartwatch, the advanced sensors will collect the 90s of RRI data every 10 minutes.

It will also estimate 30 characteristics, emotional state, and stress rate of a human for accurate emotional detection. Based on these parameters, the new health sensors will enable the device to calculate the risk of emotional disorders for next 2 weeks.

Xuanji sensing system also supports 60+ detection sensors, monitors many health systems, and calculates heart rate, autonomic nervous sequence, stress level, and more. It can offer blood pressure measurement, scientific sleep and exercises, etc.

Other features of the new advanced sensors will be visible with the launch of new Huawei smartwatch products.
