The lock officially went on sale today at 799 yuan (~$117), but a government subsidy brings the price down to 679.15 yuan, or around $100. And it\u2019s a bargain for that price.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Huawei-Smart-Lock-M2-launch-specs-price.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-734940\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Huawei Smart Lock M2 Specifications\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Huawei Smart Lock M2 relies on AI-based features, particularly for its fingerprint unlocking system. The company says the lock uses an adaptive AI fingerprint sensor that improves with each use, gradually refining recognition accuracy over time.<\/p>\n<p>It unlocks in about 0.5 seconds, and Huawei claims a very low false recognition rate of less than 0.00001.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond fingerprint access, the M2 supports a wide range of unlocking methods. Users can rely on NFC cards, physical keys, digital passwords, visitor or temporary passwords, and even Huawei smartphones and smartwatches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Huawei-Smart-Lock-M2-Design.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-734942\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>From a design standpoint, the device features a slim profile with a 0.5 mm \u201cgolden depth\u201d and rounded edges. Both the inner and outer panels share the same dimensions, measuring 365 x 76.5 x 23 mm, and the entire unit weighs around 4.2 kg.<\/p>\n<p>Powering the lock are four AA batteries, which Huawei says can last up to 18 months. There\u2019s also a Type-C port for emergency power if the batteries run out, along with tiered battery reminders to avoid sudden shutdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The M2 includes an EAL5+ certified security chip for handling sensitive data locally, along with an additional chip that independently verifies access permissions. It also uses a Class C direct-insertion lock cylinder so that the mechanical lock remains functional even if the outer panel is damaged.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei is also offering a four-year warranty with the device.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, there\u2019s no word on availability in the international market.<\/p>\n<p>For more daily updates, please visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">News Section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Stay ahead in tech!\u00a0Join our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/gizmochinaofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Telegram community<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gizmochina.beehiiv.com\/subscribe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">sign up for our daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0top stories!\u00a0\ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Huawei has unveiled a new smart home accessory in China called the Huawei Smart Lock M2.
