Zepp (formerly Huami) is popular for its Amazfit-branded smartwatches and Xiaomi Mi Bands. Very few people know that the company also sells Amazfit-branded fitness trackers called Amazfit Band. This product line may soon get a new model after nearly two years.
The last self-branded fitness tracker from Zepp went official in the second half of 2020 as Amazfit Band 5. It can be termed as a pro version of Mi Band 5 as it is similar to the Xiaomi-branded wearable but with some additional features.
Recently, the Xiaomi Band 7 was released in China. It is expected to hit the international markets very soon. Ahead of that, a report by Logger (via Xiaomiui) suggests that Zepp may also release its own-branded fitness tracker soon.
However, unlike the Amazfit band 5, which is based on Mi Band 5, the upcoming Amazfit Band will not be similar to the Xiaomi Band 7. Codenamed Bari, this product will likely carry the model numbers A2177 (standard) and A2283 (NFC).
It is expected to sport a rectangular display with a resolution of 194 x 368 pixels. Most importantly, it will be backed by a 232mAh battery, which is larger than the 180mAh and 200mAh batteries present inside the Xiaomi Band 7 and Redmi Smart Band Pro, respectively.
As for software, it will ship with the new Zepp OS. Finally, it will offer GPS and pin unlock feature.
The marketing name of this forthcoming Amazfit Band is not known at the moment. Perhaps, more details may emerge in the coming days.
