The specifications do not change, so it still maintains the Kirin A1 processor, the 1.39-inch AMOLED touch screen with 454 x 454 pixels resolution and everything related to connectivity. Basically, it’s the same watch as before, but with a much more premium construction designed by Porsche Design.
Huawei has decided to opt for a ceramic case, a titanium body and a sapphire crystal, nothing more and nothing less. The strap is also made of titanium and, according to Huawei, is very light and resistant to corrosion.
In terms of functions, everything we saw in the Huawei Watch GT 2 remains, but Huawei Watch GT 2 Porsche Design can measure the blood oxygen level.
