Huami’s Amazfit Bip line of smartwatches is quite popular, thanks to their features such as its transflective display, GPS support (select models), impressive battery life, and affordable price tag.

Following the launch of the original Amazfit Bip in 2017, Huami has added other models including the Amazfit Bip S Lite that was launched in India yesterday.

However, the multiple models and similar names may make it confusing for prospective buyers, so we have decided to explain the differences between them, to make it easier to tell them apart.

The Amazfit Bip Line has five models in all which are listed below:

• Amazfit Bip
• Amazfit Bip Lite
• Amazfit Bip S
• Amazfit Bip Lite 1S
• Amazfit Bip S Lite

While they all largely have the same design, the differences between them boil down to features. The table below should help you understand better:

With the table, you should be able to choose which of them best suits your needs. We have decided not to include prices, as that varies depending on the market. Also, it is possible to find the older models on sale for less than their launch price.

Huami Technologies, the wearable device making company backed by Xiaomi, is well-known for its Amazfit lineup of smartwatches. The company recently announced a new variant of the BIP wearable device, dubbed as Amazfit BIP Lite 1S.

Today, the Amazfit BIP Lite 1S smartwatch is available for reservation in its home market China and the shipments will start from 8th May. The device comes in Orange, Carbon black, White and Pink color options, for a price of 399 yuan which is about $56. However, it is currently available for pre-order at 369 yuan (~$52).

Just like other BIP variants, the company is keeping the square-shaped display on this smartwatch which features a 1.28-inch Always-On color display with 176 x 176 pixels screen resolution and 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The display is also used to show notifications for calls, messages, emails, weather and other applications. It comes with 10 different sports modes, including outdoor running, indoor running, cycling, walking, yoga, elliptical machine, swimming, and more.

The device comes equipped with a barometer and compass, and has IP68 rating which makes it water and dust resistant. It also has the ability to unlock Xiaomi smartphones, although the wearable is compatible with both Android and iOS phones.
