Huawei has announced plans to launch a wider range of wearables in 2015, including its first Android Wear smartwatch.
Having introduced the hybrid activity tracker turn Bluetooth headset – the Huawei B1 TalkBand – last year, the Chinese manufacturer has revealed plans to broaden its approach on the blossoming wearables space.
“We will launch a series of new wearable devices this year,” Ada Xu Huawei’s Global Director of Public Relations said addressing TrustedReviews at the company’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China.
She added: “Wearables were a hot topic at CES. Maybe it will be a hot topic again at Mobile World Congress.”
With Huawei presenting us with a slide of its future plans, including images of an as yet unannounced Android Wear smartwatch, Xu clarified: “The smartwatch we haven’t released yet. Our wearables will launch at Mobile World Congress.”

Further details on the upcoming Huawei Android Wear watch are currently unclear, although the imaged device has been shown with a round display.
The device is likely to go head-to-head with existing offerings such as the Moto 360.
MWC 2015 is set to run between March 2 and 5. Huawei has already confirmed plans to introduce new devices during a dedicated press conference on Sunday, March 1.
