Huawei launches Smart Door Lock 2 Yuexiang Edition with palm vein recognition & 161° HD peephole

Huawei Smart Door Lock 2 Yuexiang Edition

Huawei has officially launched the Smart Door Lock 2 Yuexiang Edition in China, with sales beginning today at 10:08 AM. The new model carries a retail price of 1999 yuan ($278), but a limited-time 200 yuan ($27) coupon brings the effective cost down to 1799 yuan ($250).

This release follows the recent rollout of Huawei’s broader Smart Door Lock 2 lineup, which includes the base model, the Pro variant, and the high-end Ultra edition. The Yuexiang Edition adds to this growing portfolio, offering a more accessible price point while retaining key smart home features.

The new smart lock comes with AI-powered palm vein recognition as a primary unlocking method. It uses near-infrared imaging to scan the internal vein pattern of the palm, which makes it more secure than traditional fingerprint systems. This method avoids issues with wet fingers or positioning errors and works across different hand heights.

Huawei has equipped the device with a next-generation NPU chip that delivers 1.5 times more computing power than the Smart Door Lock Pro. The system also supports ultrasonic proximity sensing. When a person approaches the door, the recognition module activates automatically, reducing the time needed to unlock the door.

The lock features a 161-degree ultra-wide-angle peephole camera, allowing users to monitor the area outside their door in real time. The live video feed can be viewed on various Huawei platforms, including smartphones, smart screens, and in-car infotainment systems.

It supports two-way communication and remote unlocking through the Huawei Smart Life app. The system also sends voice notifications and supports reminder settings for added convenience.

Huawei uses a 10,000mAh lithium battery as the main power source. The company claims the battery can last between five to seven months on a full charge. When the main battery is depleted, the system switches to a set of four AA batteries for backup unlocking. There is also an emergency button that activates fingerprint or password-based unlocking if all power sources are drained.

The lock operates silently and includes a built-in security mechanism to detect forced entry or tampering. Huawei says the device meets strict quality and durability standards. It has undergone extensive testing and comes with reliable after-sales support.

In related news, Anker recently introduced the Eufy FamiLock E34 smart lock featuring palm vein recognition and Matter support, while TCL has launched a new smart lock with iPhone-style 3D face unlock.
