Chinese smartwatch maker and Xiaomi ecological chain company Huami Technology today held its Annual Strategic Media Communication Conference for 2019. During the conference, the company shed some light on the availability of its latest products including the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit Sports Watch 3. The company also revealed that the Amazfit X Concept smartwatch will be mass-produced in the first half of 2020.
The Amazfit X was first announced in August this year and was scheduled to start shipping in 2020. With the latest disclosure, the watch won’t ship until the second half of 2020 at the earliest. However, this is a confirmation that the watch won’t at being a concept device but a commercial one. What we can’t say is if the watch will gain popularity or will end up as the Nubia Alpha with which it shares some similarities in design.

As a reminder, the Amazfit X adopts an all-metal integrated design with hidden electronic buttons that replace the traditional buttons. The watch features a proprietary 2.07-inch flexible curved screen with a super-arc curvature of 92°. The curvature is said to have been achieved by heating the metal body through an ultra-high temperature of 700°C with a 6-bend bending process.
The Amazfit X is shaped like a new moon and has a larger display area of up to 244% compared to the display area of wearable devices with similar size. The screen also has 326ppi, 100% NTSC high color saturation and up to 430nits screen brightness. The watch uses a 220mAh curved lithium battery which is said to have support for up to 7 days battery life. Since the motherboard can’t be curved, the Amazfit X uses a 3-segment motherboard in order to adapt to the curvature.
