The company also introduced Running Edition of the Honor Band 4. It comes with POLED display, but unlike the regular version, this one is monochrome. It has slightly smaller battery - 77 mAh, but offers improved data like running detection like cadence, step length, ground contact and foot strike pattern.

The Honor Band 4 arrives in Black, Blue, and Pink and costs CNY199, which is no more than $29/€25. The Running Edition has Black, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, and Pink color option and is just CNY99 or less than $15/€13. Both devices will be on sale in China on September 20, and hopefully will appear on the global scene as well.
