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.

Which of the smartwatches do you own or do you plan to get? Do let us know in the comment box below.

As expected, Huami has officially announced that it will launch a new Amazfit smartwatch next Tuesday, i.e. August 27. The company’s executive had teased this watch earlier confirming that it will have striking similarities to the Apple Watch series.

The theme of the new Amazfit smartwatch launch conference is Run, Amazfit! Run! It’s clear that this tagline is inspired by the movie Forrest Gump and hints that it will be yet another fitness-centric smartwatch. Unfortunately, the teaser doesn’t reveal anything more about the upcoming device.

However, thanks to the invites sent to the media as well as an official render shared by Huami’s VP, we know for sure that this new Amazfit watch will take on the Apple Watch series.

He further revealed that Huami has managed to beat Apple Watch’s 326 PPI screen by incorporating an even better 341 PPI AMOLED display on its new watch. It will feature a square design similar to the Apple Watch series and is expected to be covered with 2.5D glass. The battery life is said to extend to more than 10 days in regular mode. Plus, it will be cheaper than the Apple Watch.

It’s quite clear that Huami is directly targeting the Apple Watch lineup with its new Amazfit model. However, there are rumors that we might see one more round watch at the event on August 27. But we don’t have any details on that.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days.

The post Huami’s new Amazfit Watch will launch on August 27, Takes on the Apple Watch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Ever since its IPO last year, Huami has been consistently releasing new smartwatches in the market. Just recently we saw the special Amazfit GTR edition and now there’s another one incoming. Huami VP confirmed earlier today that the company’s new smartwatch will take on the Apple Watch with a higher pixel density and a similar color scheme.

Yesterday, a beta user of the said smartwatch leaked it on social media in China. Given its Apple Watch-esque design, many speculated that it was an upcoming Apple Watch Series 5 model. However, after seeing that the upcoming Huami smartwatch was already leaked, the company’s VP decided to share an official render of the watch and dismiss speculations. He further revealed that Huami has managed to beat Apple Watch’s 326 PPI screen by incorporating an even better 341 PPI display on its new watch.

Given its design, the new watch (we don’t have a name yet) should be from the Amazfit BIP lineup but nothing is confirmed yet. The official render shows it in a special gold finish with a pink strap. This is a pretty good indicator that the company is looking to take on the Apple Watch Series 4 which also features a similar color scheme.

Huami’s VP reveals that the company will release more details on August 20.

Huami recently unveiled Amazfit Health Watch with the ability to accurately measure ECG and heart rate. The square designed watch carries a 1.28-inch color display and improved battery life. The Amazfit BIP and Health Watch share various similarities in terms of design, specifications, and pricing.

Huawei Amazfit health watch is a cheaper alternative to the Amazfit Verge 2. It hosts a flat dial squarish design as like of the Amazfit BIP. Huami introduced silicone bands for the black and white color variants, while the brown color is available with the leather strap. The new watch features Huangshan No.1 SoC with some exciting features.

Huami Amazfit Health Watch is successor to the Amazfit BIP. It flaunts a new squarish design with a PVD craft metal bezel and beautiful straps. To bring AI support, Huami added Huangshan No.1 SoC. The new watch comes with NB-IOT narrowband network technology allowing it to report multiple emergencies without the Bluetooth connection. There is a considerable improvement in the new Huami Health Watch over its predecessor.

Design and Display

The Amazfit Health Watch follows the fundamental design principle of the Huami BIP smartwatch. It carries the same four-sided design along with the 1.28-inch color display having the 176 x 176 pixels resolution. It is 3ATM water-resistant smartwatch as like its predecessor. Amazfit Health Watch measures 42 x 35 x 12.5mm in dimensions and weighs 45 grams. In design terms, both the smartwatches look identical without any significant change.

Software and Hardware

The new smartwatch majorly involves the ECG sensor and the optical heart rate sensor. It can detect arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation. It is powered by the world’s first NPU enabled Huangshan No.1 processor.

There’s a 6-axis low-power IMU, ECG sensor and PPG heart rate sensor. It comes with a narrowband network technology which doesn’t require Bluetooth connection to report emergency health services. It can send critical data in case the user gets into some serious health condition like low heart rate, fall, etc. The four-sided metal wrap is present around its squarish dial for the stylish look. There are four core AI intelligence engines like cardiac biometrics engine, ECG, ECG Pro, and Hearth Rhythm Abnormality Monitoring Engine.

On the other hand, the Amazfit BIP is limited to four modes like outdoor running, indoor running, cycling, and walking. Also, it does not carry any AI feature to automate some functions. Along with the speed reminder feature, and excessive heart rate reminder, the new watch effectively and efficiently tells about the ECG data derived from the latest AI module.

Battery

The battery of Amazfit Health Watch is uplifted to 200 mAh with a minor increase from 190 mAh in the Amazfit BIP. However, the insignificant increase in the battery size didn’t help it to improve on the standby time. The new watch’s battery life has reduced from 20 days to 7 days due to the presence of varu=ious new features.

Pricing

The Amazfit Health Watch is available for 700 Yuan, which roughly translates to $100. It will be made available in China later this month. Huawei Amazfit BIP currently retails at $65 (449 Yuan) in China. You can pre-order the Amazfit Health Watch now.

The post Huami Health Watch vs Amazfit BIP: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

It is usually not common for a smartwatch to get up to 20% off its price except a successor is about dropping in most cases. Especially when the device is the hot-selling Amazfit Bip with its amazing design, 30 days battery power and several other amazing features. But that is what is upon us presently as the Huami Amazfit Bip has got a $20 (20%) slash in its price and it looks like it is not a time-limited offer. The Apple Watch look-alike is presently on sale for $79.99 on Amazon as against the $99.99 price tag it adopted when it was launched in the US.

The recent price cut could be an indication that the Xiaomi-backed company may have got a successor in the works. The Bip was released in the first quarter of 2018 and is over one year already since it went on sale. But then, except the company is planning to throw in a surprise, there is no sign a new Huami smartwatch will be dropping soon.

As stated earlier, the Amazfit BIP looks similar to the Apple Watch. This means you can pick this device up if you desire an Apple Watch but can’t afford the high price tag. The BIP comes with a 1.28-inch always-on color touch display with a screen resolution of 176 x 176 pixels. The display is covered by a 2.5D layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It features IP68 dust and water resistance. The Bip also comes with PPG heart rate sensor, tri-axial acceleration sensor, geomagnetic sensor, barometric pressure sensor, GPS + GLONASS, and more. The device is compatible with Apple as well as Android-based devices.

The smartwatch is powered by a 190mAh battery which promises over 30 days of battery life with normal use or up to 45 days with minimal notifications on a single 2.5-hour charge. However, when using the device with GPS tracking, it only gets 22 hours on a charge.

The device supports activity tracking as well as sports and sleep tracking. Using the device, users can receive notifications for calls, messages, emails, and other apps. With multi-sport tracking, it tracks user’s runs, cycling and more with mapped routes, detailed stats and heart rate zones.

Three of the four color variants — Onyx Black, Cinnabar Red, and Kokoda Green are all available for $79.99 each. The White Cloud variant is presently listed as unavailable. For more details, you can check out our review of the Amazfit Bip.

The post Amazfit Bip gets a massive price cut on Amazon – Is a successor coming soon? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Amazfit smartwatches from Huami (a company backed by Xiaomi) are becoming the main choice for sportsmen who need to monitor their activity through a wearable device but do not want to spend a lot of money buying an Apple Watch or the most advanced Garmin smartwatch. Today the Chinese company unveiled the new Amazfit Verge which brings a wonderful design as well as advanced features at a very modest price. Here, we will compare it with other important smartwatches from this company: Amazfit Stratos and Amazfit Bip, in order to help you with your potential choice.

Huami Amazfit Verge vs Amazfit Stratos vs Amazfit Bip

Design and build

Among these smartwatches, the new Amazfit Verge is the most beautiful one thanks to its perfectly round display, while the Amazfit Bip is definitely the ugliest one with its square display, but it is also the cheapest one. On the other hand, Amazfit Stratos offers a better water resistance and it is the only one which can be used without problems underwater, up to 50m deep. All of them have a resistant Gorilla Glass 3 and their build quality is very nice.

Display

Even when it comes to display, Amazfit Verge wins. It is the only one which has an AMOLED panel, that means richer colors and very deep blacks. And it is also the smartwatch with the highest resolution, so it has the highest level of detail. It even has an oleophobic coating so fingerprints will not be a big issue.

Hardware & Software

Unfortunately, these are not Android Wear (or Wear OS) devices, but they have a proprietary operating system, and they are thought for sport and fitness. Amazfit Verge and Stratos are the most powerful ones in terms of hardware and the best ones when it comes to software. They can both detect your heart rate with Amazfit Verge having the best accuracy along with irregular heart beat detection. On the other hand, the Stratos is able to measure maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). Both have multi-sport tracking with 12 sports supported. Amazfit Bip is more like a smartwatch for running and it can only monitor simple activities such as running and cycling, without supporting more sophisticated sports.

Battery

While Amazfit Verge and Stratos have more advanced features inside their software, Amazfit Bip is the smartwatch with the best battery life. It is able to last up to 30 days with a normal usage, even more than smart bands such as the Mi Band 3. This is great, given that smart bands do not have a color display like this wearable. Amazfit Verge and Stratos can only last 5 days with a normal usage.

Price

Amazfit Bip is the cheapest and you can get it for just $60/€50 all around the world. Amazfit Stratos was launched with a price tag of more than $200, while the new Amazfit Verge carries a price tag of $116. In my opinion, Amazfit Verge is the winner of this comparison for its features, the 98% accuracy of its heart rate sensor and its value for money.

On the other hand, the Amazfit Stratos sports a 1.34-inch always-on color LCD touch display with 320 x 300 pixels resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor along with 512MB RAM and 4GB of internal storage.

This is the Amazfit Bip – a fitness tracker that costs about $80 and I’ve been using it every single day for the past 2 months. I do like it for a lot of reasons but if you want to learn more, stay tuned for our long-term Xiaomi Amazfit Bip review.

VIDEO

UNBOXING

The device ships just with a charger and to be honest with you, it took me a while to find it because the battery life on the Amazfit Bip is just insanely good.

DESIGN and FEATURES

I’ve used this tracker for 2 months and I charged it once even though I used the GPS and heart rate monitoring features quite a lot. The official numbers state that the band should last you up to 45 days and I can assert this is true. The reflective color touch screen is always on and this is my favorite feature of this watch. The brighter the day is, the better you can see the display. Also, there is a nice backlight, so you can see the display at night. Lift to wake feature works fine.

The overall build of the tracker is great and device held up pretty well over the time. However, the rubber band has worn off quite a bit. A good thing is that you can buy a new strap for the cheap and I will leave a few suggestions in the video description down below. The watch uses 20 mm standard width watch bands.  What I like is that the Bip is very light and comfortable to wear. I believe that the heart rate sensor is accurate but keep in mind this is not a medical-grade device.

The watch uses both GPS and Glonass systems for positioning and for route tracking, which is great. I found this feature to be working fine but sometimes you need to wait for almost a full minute until the GPS position is found. Other sensors this watch has include compass and barometer.

The IP68 rating assures water and dust resistance and I’ve tested this feature a lot of times, the device still works fine. I don’t like receiving notifications on the tiny display of the watch but this feature works fine. You can also track your sleep routines but I can’t get used to wearing a tracker while sleeping, so this feature is not for me. I love the simple and intuitive user interface and the Amazfit Bip has never lagged or stuttered. You just swipe from left to right through the menus, swipe from the top to open quick settings menu and swipe from the bottom to see your notifications.

You can also see your status, select from a few activity modes including running, walking, cycling and so on. A physical side button takes you back. If you press and hold it, you can start or stop your sports activity as soon as possible.

The My Fit has become one of my favorite fitness apps and it syncs with the watch seamlessly. You can check your steps taken in detail, heart rate measurements and track your sleep quality. In addition, the app gives you the detailed look at your workouts including the route, speed, pace, calories burned, heart rate details and so on. You can also adjust a lot of different settings of the band and so on.

CONCLUSIONS

After using the Amazfit Bip for more than 2 months, I can see two minor shortcomings – the silicone band wears off quickly and GPS can find the position a little bit faster. Sometimes waiting for about 30 seconds can be annoying if you want to start working out immediately.

Besides these two shortcomings, I definitely love my Amazfit Bip. I like the design, comfort, insanely good battery life, awesome display,  user interface and feature-packed Mi Fit app that syncs with the watch.

Is the Amazfit Bip worth the price of $80? Absolutely yes. I will continue using it every single day as it has never let me down and it’s comfortable to wear. Therefore, I can easily recommend the Amazfit Bip to anyone after using this tracker for more than 2 months.
