Xiaomi, the Chinese smartphone maker has launched Huami Amazfit Verge smartwatch through its subsidiary brand Huami, is the first smartwatch in the world to feature integrated with AI neural network. The Huangshan No.1 (MHS001) developed by Huami to come with 4-core artificial intelligence engines – Heart ID, ECG, ECG Pro, and Arrhythmia.
Huami, the subsidiary of Xiaomi is one of the popular makers of smartwatches in China and this time it has come up to launch its new products across the world; the Xiaomi Huami Amazfit verge smartwatch and its first Huangshan No. 1 SoC for wearable devices. Both the smartwatch and smart band are water-resistant and have continuous heart rate monitoring. The Huangshan No.1 is said to be the world’s first wearable processor integrated with AI neural network.
The band features ECG sensor to gather ECG data to identify health risks. It also has NFC with payment support and GPS.
As for the specification, the Xiaomi Amazfit Verge smartwatch features 1.3-inch (360 x 360 pixels) AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The watch is made out of unbreakable plastic and comes with a detachable silicone band. It supports GPS+GLONASS with 11 different sports modes, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0+BLE.
