If you have been wondering why Huami has been slow with announcing new products this year, we think we know why. It turns out the Chinese manufacturer that owns the Amazfit and Zepp brands has been developing a new operating system for its smartwatches.
A few days ago, Huami, announced that it has an event scheduled for July 13. It turns out that the manufacturer will be announcing its new operating system and a new chipset too at the event dubbed “The Future of Health”.
A Weibo post by Huang Wang, the founder, and CEO of Huami Technology, revealed that its new self-developed operating system is better suited for watches and can better take advantage of the health features present in wearables. The CEO also shared a video of what appears to be a redesigned interface for heart rate measurement.
We do not know if the operating system is still based on RTOS or it is entirely new from scratch. However, one feature we know it will have is a dynamic watch face as seen in the video below courtesy of Digital Chat Station. The Chinese leaker who has had hands-on experience with the new operating system praises the UI and user experience.
More details about its upcoming Huangshan chipset were also revealed. According to Mr. Huang, the new processor, which should launch as the Huangshan 2S, will have an independent GPU. It will be a dual-core chipset based on the RISC-V architecture, and it will not only be more powerful but also have lower power consumption.
