At Mobile World Congress 2015 today, Huawei have introduced the TalkBand B2, the successor to the Talkband B1 which debuted at last year's conference. The TalkBand 2 is the second generation of Huawei's fitness band / smartwatch line and introduces many welcome improvements over last years' model. One of the key changes in the Talkband B2 is the dull-grey plastic strap from the Talkband B1, which has been switched out in favour of either a stylish leather or a more durable TPU watch strap dependant upon the model you choose. On the front is a 0.73 inch AMOLED display with touch support and like last years' model, the Talkband houses a fully-functional bluetooth headset which can be used to make voice calls. Another improvement in the TalkBand B2 is the charging solution, with this year's model now sporting a microUSB port instead of a USB2 port on the Talkband B1. The Talkband B2 uses Bluetooth 4.1 to connect to either your iPhone (running iOS 7 or later) or Android smartphone (running Android 4 or later).
