It offers a 320 x 320 pixel resolution and due to the e-paper display it also consumes low power and offers high visibility and clarity. The band is basically an upgrade to the SmartBand (SWR10). Other technicals and features include a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 processor, 2MB of internal flash memory, a 70mAh battery, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and microUSB support. It is compatible with devices running on Android 4.4 Kitkat and above. Like the SmartWatch, the SmartBand Talk is also water and dust resistant with a IP68 certification. The Band offers fitness and health activity track and logs alongside notifications and time. The built-in microphone and speakers allows for voice calling when paired with the smartphone.
