Xiaomi’s latest smartwatch has a 45- day battery
After the exceptional success of its cleverly marketed smartphones, Xiaomi now enters the smart wearables business. The Chinese company Amazfit, which manufactures smartwatches under its Huami subbrand, happens to be directly competing with Apple in China. Now, this Xiaomi owned company has launched its new smart wearable — Amazfit Bip Smartwatch, which claims to have a 45- day battery on a single charge.
Though this new smartwatch resembles the Apple Watch, it still comes with an impressive battery life and at an affordable price tag. The company claims that its new Amazfit Bip smartwatch delivers up to 45- days of battery life with “minimum not ific at ions,”i.e. the 45- day battery life can be acheived only if most of the features are turned- off. Xiaomi has already been successful in the fitness tracker category by its previous launch — the Mi Band 2.
Considering this, the company has made a full- fledged smartwatch along with the famous fitness tracking features. Generally, all the smartwatches in the current variable market need to be charged at least once for one/ two days but, this Amazfit smartwatch claims to have a 45- day battery life. Aside from an impressive battery life, the Amazfit Bip smartwatch features a 1.28- inch ‘ Always- on reflective” colour touch display with a total pixel resolution of 1 7 6 x 1 7 6 . It also comes equipped with a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass protection. This smartwatch also features various sensors such as optical heart rate, geomagnetic and air- pressure sensors. It has GPS for route tracking and is IP68 rated. This 31g smartwatch is powered by a 190mAh Li- Polymer battery and features interchangeable watch bands. The Bip runs on a custom Xiaomi- made Operating System also pairs with the Xiaomi’s standard Mi- Fit health app on both iOS and Android smarphones for your daily activity tracking. The Huami Amazfit Bip smartwatch is currently on sale in the US for $ 99.99. However, the launch details for India is unknown. Xiaomi has been slowly bringing its entire product portfolio, other than smartphones, to the Indian market. The Amazfit Bip smartwatch is currently available in four colour options — Onyx Black, White Cloud, Kokoda Green and Cinnabar Red.
