Chinese wearable devices manufacturer Huami has announced the Amazfit Bip S Lite in India. The smartwatch is a slightly more affordable version of the Amazfit Bip S which was first launched in India just last month. This model comes in at Rs. 3,799 (~$50) and in terms of the design, it also looks almost identical to the Bip S with a square dial and a single button on the right edge.

The Amazfit Bip S Lite features a 1.28-inch transflective colour TFT display just like the Bip S with a resolution of 176×176 pixels. The display is protected against scratches by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The smartwatch features a BioTracker PPG bio-tracking optical sensor and a 3-axis acceleration sensor which power the heart rate and activity tracking function. The 2-axis geomagnetic sensor found on the Amazfit Bip S is missing on the Bip S Lite, apparently to keep the price down. Further, the smartwatch comes with support for eight sports modes and the Huami-PAI health assessment feature which utilises data collected over the last seven days to show a PAI score.

The Bip S Lite packs a 200mAh battery which the company claims can deliver up to 30-days of battery life on a single charge. The battery packs up to 90-days of battery life in standby mode. In addition, the watch packs Bluetooth 5.0/BLE and can connect with all Android devices running Android 5.0 or newer. For interface, it features over 40 watch faces and two custom widgets. Huami promised to add over 150 watch faces via OTA updates at a later date.

The Amazfit Bip S Lite will go on sale in India on July 29 via Flipkart and Amazfit’s website.  The smartwatch will be available in three colour options – Black, Blue, and Pink. Huami also disclosed that the next flash sale will hold on August 3 at 12 PM IST while the watch will be on open sale from August 5th.

Smart wearable manufacturer Huami has teased the launch of a Lite smartwatch which look like the Amazfit Bip S. The company has created a microsite for the device on Flipkart and it confirms it will be called Amazfit Bip S Lite.

The Bip S Lite looks like a trimmed-down version of the Amazfit Bip S which was first launched in India just last month. The Flipkart page shows that the device will be launched on July 29.

In terms of the design, an official video teaser by Huami confirms a design similar to that of the Amazfit Bip S. The features are also likely to overlap but with some bit of trimming on the Lite model. The teaser also says the smartwatch would be “Lite on your pocket” which is an indication that it will adopt a cheaper price tag. For reference, the Bip S adopts a retail price of Rs. 4999.

The Amazfit Bip S Lite is expected to feature 8 sport modes as against 10 on the Bip S. It also weighs 30g, 1g less than the Bip S. The smartwatch will be available in three colour option – Charcoal Black, Sakura Pink, and Oxford Blue.
