We already have known about Huaweiskipping its band 5 and jumping to number '6' since March. But ahead of the Malaysian launch the design and the primary specs got leaked on Weibo. We don't know whether it was intentional or not but it clearly added to the hype, the device already had.

The video was shared by a Chinese leakster named @看山的叔叔 on Weibo. And after watching the video we can be sure that the fitness tracker will be a copy of the Honor Band 6 and what's funny is that Huawei didn't even try to change the name.

The image shows that the device will sport a 1.47-inch AMOLED display with a lift-to-wake function. The screen is almost 1.5 times that of the Huawei Band 4.

The device can also be used as a relay to notify incoming calls and messages. There's also a menstrual cycle tracker as well as the ability to control music playing through the phone but supports Android devices only.
