An incoming update to the Honor Band 5 brings a couple of cool new features that were much advertised by Huawei when the device was unveiled earlier this year, but were MIA at its launch. Now, finally, the company is rolling out the remote Music Playback Control function along with SpO2 monitoring to its latest inexpensive smart band, possibly making it one of the best available devices in its segment.

As a refresher, the Honor Band 5 was originally unveiled by Huawei in July before being launched in India last month. The device features a 0.95-inch AMOLED screen (240 x 120 pixel resolution) with 2.5D curved glass, and comes with a blood oxygen monitor that enables it to detect hypoxemia dizziness – a condition that stems from the body not getting the amount of oxygen it needs for normal functioning.
