It is no news that Huami is the ODM behind
Xiaomi’s Mi Band line of fitness trackers. Now, Huami seems set to announce its
own fitness tracker called the Amazfit Band 6 which is practically a Mi Band 5
(Mi Smart Band 5) with more features. According to NoteBookCheck, the Amazfit
Band 6 was listed on AliExpress but unfortunately, it has now been pulled down.
Thankfully, there are product pictures available.
The Amazfit Band 6 has a 1.1” full-touch
HD (126 x 294) color AMOLED display with 2.5D glass and an anti-fingerprint
coating. It has over 45 watch faces with two being customizable and you can even
upload your own picture for the watch faces. There is a pressure-sensitive
button below the screen. It comes in Olive, Midnight Black, and Orange.
The fitness tracker has Amazon’s Alexa
assistant built-in, so you can set reminders, ask questions, and control smart
home devices by speaking to the band. The feature will not be available in all
regions and supported regions will get it via an OTA update. The Amazfit Band 6
also has OxygenBeats™ Blood-oxygen Saturation Measurement, Women’s health
record reminder, BioTracker™ 2 PPG heart rate sensor, and SomnusCare™ all-day
sleep quality monitoring.
The Amazfit Band 6 has support for 11
sports modes and has Huami’s PAI health assessment system which you can access
using the Amazfit companion app on your device. It also has a 5ATM waterproof
rating, support for music playback control, and can function as a camera
shutter button.
There is a 125mAh battery inside that
takes about 2 hours to charge with a clip dock charger. Huami says the band will
last 15 days on a single charge in typical usage while power-saving mode will
push it to 25 days. Based on the above, the Amazfit Band 6 is a much better
fitness tracker than the Mi Band 5/Mi Smart Band 5. Unfortunately, the
now-deleted listing did not include a price tag.
We look forward to the launch of the
Amazfit Band 6. However, we are still confused about Huami’s plan for its
fitness trackers seeing as the Amazfit Band 5, which is yet-to-be-released, was
certified by the FCC last month.
