Xiaomi on Tuesday
launched its latest wearable in China, the much-anticipated first smartwatch
from the company. Made in collaboration with partner Huami, the Xiaomi Amazfit
smartwatch has been priced at CNY 799 (roughly Rs. 8,100) and will be available
to purchase in the country from Wednesday.
The Amazfit bears a
1.34-inch circular display with a 300×300 pixel resolution. It is powered by a
1.2GHz processor that’s coupled with 512MB of RAM. Coming with 4GB of storage,
the smartwatch also features a heart rate sensor on the rear panel with
continuous tracking. The company has also partnered with Alibaba to offer
mobile payment support for the AliPay service.
The Xiaomi Amazfit is
claimed by the company to be the world’s first smartwatch with a 28nm GPS sensor.
The smartwatch is also dust and water resistant with IP67 certification. It
sports a ceramic bezel, which is said to be scratch resistant, while the
smartwatch comes with a 22nm band that is user replaceable.
Amazfit is powered by
a 200mAh battery that’s rated to deliver up to 5 days of battery life. With GPS
enabled, this figure drops to 30 hours, and while using just the pedometer
function, the battery is said to last 11.6 days.
