Ultra-wideband (UWB) refers to a wireless communication technology. It bears properties like high bandwidth, low power consumption, and mainly operates through radio waves. With this feature, the device ensures better short-range communication.
Beidou satellite SMS capability, on the other hand, allows users to send or receive messages over satellite when stuck in a no-network area. Thus, you can remain in touch with your contacts in times of emergency, regardless of no cellular signal.
The tipster further says that the previous-gen Ultimate watch has been a durable smartwatch. But the upcoming wearable could be more efficient as well as reliable with a new HarmonyOS software system. Huawei has yet to confirm these details.
