At the launch of the Huawei Ascend G6 and opening of their Concept Store, we happened upon Huawei Country Manager Charles Wu who showed us what mega phablet he was holding – it was the Huawei Ascend Mate 2.

But according to Charles Wu, they may not release the Ascend Mate 2 in the Philippines and instead move ahead with the Ascend Mate 3.
Wu was also sporting a wearable device – the Huawei TalkBand B1. What’s not obvious about this nifty tracking activity watch is that the watch itself is a Bluetooth earpiece! Sadly, the TalkBand has not yet been locally launched.
The Huawei TalkBand B1 features wireless calling and daily activity tracking on-the-go. It has a Bluetooth™ 4.1 wireless earpiece, enabling up to seven hours of continuous calling with a 1.4-inch flexible OLED display. It is designed to support wireless calling on both Android 2.3+ and iOS 5.0+ compatible devices, and syncs effortlessly via NFC. HUAWEI TalkBand B1 monitors steps taken, miles covered and calories burned to maintain fitness, and its 90 mAh battery lasts six days without the need to recharge.
