HTC smartwatch Halfbeak leaked photos
The latest Android Wear HTC smartwatch has broken cover in a leaked photo-session.
The upcoming wrist-friendly device, codenamed Halfbeak, leaked on the Chinese social network Weibo back in October. It has been pretty quiet since then.
Thankfully, for those awaiting further details, a whole heap of new photos have popped up, again on Weibo, showing the watch in all its glory.
The photos show a circular watch-face, with two buttons on the right-hand side, marked by two arrows.
Other things to note are the pogo pins on the back, with a heart rate sensor. You might also notice the Under Armour logo which points to a tie-in with the fitness fashion brand. This would make sense, since the two companies collaborated on the UA Healthbox platform back in 2016.
The display is 360×360 resolution, which is a little higher than the Moto 360 V2 display, but lower res than the Huawei Watch’s display.
The watch also appears to be running the 1.x version of Android Wear, which is interesting as 2.0 is coming out in less than a month. This might just be being used on this possible test device though. I would still expect a new device to come sporting Android Wear 2.0.
There are still no hints as to when we can expect this new HTC wearable to appear in the shops.
Fingers crossed that HTC spills some more deets at Mobile World Congress, next month in Barcelona.
