Advanced, Customizable Features Provide a
Unique User Experience
BEIJING, Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Huami
Corporation ("Huami" or the "Company") (NYSE:HMI), a biometric and
activity data-driven company with significant expertise in smart
wearable technology, today announced the launch of the Amazfit
Verge - the Amazfit smart watch, that brings new, customizable
features to the smart wearables industry. The Verge is the first
watch of the new Amazfit smart watch product line in addition to
the existing smart sports watch product line.
The Verge offers many new and improved features to enrich the
user experience including a 1.2G dual core processor, running Huami
Watch OS (WOS) based on the Android infrastructure with remarkable
extensibility that allows downloads and operation of third-party
Apps. The Verge also comes with a 1.3-inch full color AMOLED round
screen as well as optimized power consumption that provides an
industry-leading five days of battery life on a single charge. More
importantly, the Verge is capable of making and receiving phone
calls directly via blue-tooth connected mobile phones and
displaying real time messages, including WeChat and incoming phone
call alerts, all of which allow users to more conveniently stay
connected with their friends, family and business associates.
Xiaomi's intelligent voice assistant (Xiao'ai) is built in to
the Verge watch and allows users to interact with Xiaomi's
ecosystem IoT home devices, such as controlling Xiaomi TV, Mi Robot
Vacuum, Xiaomi Air Purifier and others by voice control or simple
screen touch, as well as getting more information from the IoT
devices (fire alert, security alert and others). Furthermore,
digital wallet functionality in conjunction with Union Pay and
Alipay, combined with integrated one-touch public transportation
payment in over 160 cities in China, help users capture the convenience of
full digital transactions (through NFC and QR codes). The Verge can
be also used as entrance access device utilizing NFC
technology.
Moreover, enriched sports functionality, including advanced
route tracking driven by GPS +GLONASS system supports 11 sport
modes. Full-day heart rate recording makes the Verge a valuable
training and performance-tracking tool. Additionally, the new
self-developed heart rate sensor and powerful algorithms deliver
enhanced heart rate monitoring accuracy as well as reduced power
consumption. When an irregular heart rate is detected, the Verge
will automatically send an alert to the user.
"The Verge represents a brand new product line for Amazfit and
ideally supplements our successful and industry leading smart sport
watch product line. The attractive price of 799RMB allows a large number of users to quickly
enjoy the full-featured smart sport watch. More importantly, the
watch can serve as a revolutionary game-changer in driving
customers' IoT smart home usage. This is the first time IoT device
controller and major cities' public transportation payment
functionalities can be widely adopted in a wearable device," said
Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of
Huami Corporation. "This latest generation in the Amazfit product
line provides users all the expected benefits and features of an
advanced smart watch while also integrating intelligent assistant
and payment technology that will simplify users' everyday lives. We
are excited to further build the Amazfit brand with continued
technological innovation that will drive sales and deliver
long-term shareholder value."
The Amazfit Verge is available online at Tmall, JD and
Pinduoduo, and starts pre-order on September
17, 2018 with a suggested retail price of 799RMB.
