Ever since its IPO last year, Huami has been consistently releasing new smartwatches in the market. Just recently we saw the special Amazfit GTR edition and now there’s another one incoming. Huami VP confirmed earlier today that the company’s new smartwatch will take on the Apple Watch with a higher pixel density and a similar color scheme.
Yesterday, a beta user of the said smartwatch leaked it on social media in China. Given its Apple Watch-esque design, many speculated that it was an upcoming Apple Watch Series 5 model. However, after seeing that the upcoming Huami smartwatch was already leaked, the company’s VP decided to share an official render of the watch and dismiss speculations. He further revealed that Huami has managed to beat Apple Watch’s 326 PPI screen by incorporating an even better 341 PPI display on its new watch.

Given its design, the new watch (we don’t have a name yet) should be from the Amazfit BIP lineup but nothing is confirmed yet. The official render shows it in a special gold finish with a pink strap. This is a pretty good indicator that the company is looking to take on the Apple Watch Series 4 which also features a similar color scheme.
Huami’s VP reveals that the company will release more details on August 20.
