Huawei Smart Lock M2 with AI fingerprint scanner and NFC launches in China

Huawei Smart Lock M2 features an AI fingerprint scanner and NFC

Huawei has launched the Smart Lock M2 smart door lock in China, targeting the mainstream market. It retails for 799 yuan (around $117), although a government subsidy brings the price down to roughly $100, making it one of the most affordable devices in its category.

AI fingerprint recognition and access options

Its key feature is an AI fingerprint-recognition algorithm that adapts to the user, speeding up identification. Huawei claims an unlocking time of about 0.5 seconds and an extremely low false-acceptance rate. In addition to fingerprint access, the lock supports NFC cards, passwords, temporary codes, a physical key, and authentication via Huawei smartphones and smartwatches.

Security, battery life and warranty

The device uses an enhanced security system with a certified EAL5+ chip, a backup mechanical cylinder, and protection that remains effective even if the external panel is damaged.

Four AA batteries provide up to 18 months of operation, while a USB-C port is available for emergency power if required.

The manufacturer also includes a four-year warranty for the device.
