Huami plan to announce more than 10 new smartwatches in the coming months
If you like Huami’s AMAZFIT line of smartwatches, then you should
look forward to the coming months. The Chinese wearables manufacturer
disclosed in an official press release that it has plans to release more
than 10 AMAZFIT smartwatches in the coming months!
The press release was published 4th of June but the info
was first revealed by the CEO of the company, Huang Wang, at the Q1 2019
financial report on June 3.
Huami
says these smartwatches will fall between the range of ¥299 (~$43) and
¥2000 (~$289). At the moment, we know a new AMAZFIT smartwatch will be
released next week. This watch will come with an eSIM and a Snapdragon
Wear 3100 and may be priced at ¥2000 (~$289).
About a week ago, Huami also announced the AMAZFIT Verge Lite
and the AMAZFIT Bip Lite – which are both cheaper versions of the Verge
and Lite respectively. These two new watches are likely part of the
lineup it has planned for this year. However, we also expect there will
be some brand new models which will include successors to the AMAZFIT
Stratos, the AMAZFIT BIP and the AMAZFIT COR.
The AMAZFIT BIP 2 is definitely coming; seeing as Huami already
received Bluetooth certifications for two smartwatches with that name
back in December 2018 and in January 2019.
Huami is banking on the expansion of the wearables market which
explains why it will be launching several new products this year.
According to FROST & SULLIVAN, the global wearables market will
increase from 10.3 million units to 27.1 million units.
For the first quarter of this year, the company announced its AMAZFIT
brand grew by 62% year-on-year while it made up 41.3% of the total
revenue. These figures are impressive and will likely increase as time
goes on.
