Huami has just launched the latest in their popular line of Amazfit smartwatches, the brand new Amazfit GTR. While the average Amazfit smartwatch is squarely aimed at the budget conscious market, the Amafit GTR is a clear step towards a more premium direction. It’s obvious from the presentation alone that this isn’t your typical Huami smartwatch.

The Amazfit GTR comes in two different size options at 42mm and 47mm. While there are minute differences in terms of colour and dimensions, when it comes to specifications both models are identical. Regardless of which size you pick, your Amazfir GTR will have an AMOLED display with 326PPI pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top of it.

What sets the two sizes apart are colour options and dimensions, as well as the actual display resolution itself. The Amazfit GTR 42mm watch comes in four colour options, those being starry black, moonlight white, cherry powder, and coral red. This variant is slimmer and lighter. The body is about only about 9.2mm thick, and it weighs in at a dainty 25.5g. There’s also a limited edition version of the 42mm that comes with 60 swarovski crystals.

The Amazfit GTR 47mm, as you would expect, is slightly chunkier than the 42mm, but not by a significant amount. It comes in a bunch of more professional colours like aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, but there’s also a limited edition Iron Man edition unit here. Unlike the other options, the Iron Man edition Amazfit GTR has a red silicone strap instead.

On top of the typical smartwatch features like showing notifications and issuing controls to your smartphone, the Amazfit GTR has a few more tricks up its sleeve. The device has BioTracker PPG bio-optical sensors to offer advanced heart rate monitoring and 12 different sports modes covering a wide range of activities from swimming to skiing. It’s also water resistant to up to 50 meters with 5ATM certification, which is fantastic to hear.

ASUS has added a budget smartphone to its Zenfone lineup going by the name Zenfone Live. The ASUS Zenfone Live recently leaked in renders and specs as Zenfone 3 Go but surprisingly, it appeared officially with a different name. The Zenfone Live bears the model number, ZB501KL, and the images as well as specs align with each other, so there is no doubt they are one and the same smartphone.

Specs wise, the Zenfone Live sports a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset but the exact chipset wasn’t disclosed. There is 2GB of RAM inside the smartphone as well as 16GB or 32GB of internal storage.

Perhaps, the most awesome feature on the Zenfone Live is the main camera setup which has an individual pixel size of 1.4µm pixel, f/2.0 aperture and 82-degree field of view. The rear camera is a 13MP shooter while up front, there is a 5MP sensor with soft light LED selfie flash. More spectacular is the BeautyLive app which the smartphone packs which lets you apply beautification filter on your face and also stream videos live from either the front or rear camera. Obviously, the smartphone is intended for selfie enthusiasts and it sure delivers.

In addition, the ASUS Zenfone Live is kept alive by a rather disappointing 2,650mAh battery which is even non-removable. It runs ZenUI 3.0 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. There is also dual MEMS microphones onboard the device which brings clarity to the voice during conversation, reducing background noise.

ASUS is yet to disclose the pricing and availability details of the Zenfone Live but you can keep a tab on the new device on ASUS’ official page.
