News & Reviews:   Huami

With so many companies making smartwatches these days, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. You've probably heard of AmazFit a few times, as the company has a small presence in Malaysia. Well, the company is promising some new things for its next smartwatch.

Many know of Xiaomi's spinoff company, Huami, as one that does wearable devices. But it seems like the company has sort of been slightly branching off. At the company's Future of Tech event, it revealed some health-related products, including an MRI scanner.

Smartwatches have been around for years, with Samsung considered one of the best in terms of operating systems. However, even Samsung sees the need for a change to WearOS. So it's not too surprising to hear that Huami is going for an OS overhaul too.

During this time, going out without a mask could risk yourself being exposed to Covid-19. Before the situation comes to an end (let's believe it will), a face mask is basically an essential item now in our daily lives. However, normal mask has a problem with technology which is your face would be undetectable while using a face recognition system, especially the widely-used Face ID. For that, Huami has taken on the challenge by developing a mask which allows Face ID to recognize you and also able to disinfect itself after each use.

Huami has announced that a Star Wars Limited Edition of its Amazfit Smart Sports Watch 3, which will be available in China beginning 19 December 2019 for 1600 yuan (~RM1004). It also announced that the Amazfit X smartband will be going into mass production in the first half of 2020.
