Hello all,
Amazfit verge lite has launched 2 weeks ago now I think..
Just wondering has anyone got there hands on one yet?? If so what is like?
The thing that impresses me about this new watch is the battery life which is supposed to be 20 days on average use and also the price...it's a good watch for €75
I have the Amazfit Pace watch already and it's a great watch...but as @GreatApo stated recently that there will be no more updates for this watch by Huami so I guess it's at the end of shelf life
So share your thoughts please and especially if you have this watch....I'm hoping it will be a popular watch with lots of development behind it.
Thanks for reading.

If you looking for Verge lite, then better, i think, is to buy Verge at all. Verge lite is cutted version of Verge. If i understand right Verge lite have less sport modes as Verge, but have better battery usage experience. If with Verge you can be quiet 5 days with Verge lite you can be quiet about 20 days (information by Amazfit Verge web site). This is once good thing in Verge lite. About Verge lite in China Amazfit there is no information about memory at all. There is no information about possibility listen music without phone, there is no information about microphone or soundspeaker and ect. So Verge if this information is full in China Amazfit web site, then verge by specification is better choice. But keep in mind that there is in China already Verge 2, how calling some web site, or Nexo as calling China Amazfit web site it. I think this watch is better in many ways: better material, have some new features related with heart tracking and some others which have Verge
About Nexo you can find here - https://cn.amazfit.com/nexo.html. I believe that in China you don't understanding, so use Google translate

I think Verge lite is more like Bip in terms of software. I wouldn't compare it with Verge.
About the Pace updates, to avoid misunderstandings, I don't remember stating sth like that and even if I did say sth similar that doesn't come from Huami but my personal view.

But Verge lite is similar to Verge, just is less features and ect. It's like Verge's little brother/sister Even looks is the same or similar to each other

Indeed it has the same or similar design/body, however, with that battery life and features it is a bip in a verge's body

Really? Are you sure? Bip can be without charge by Amazfit about 45 days, Verge lite - 20 days, Verge - 5 days. Different between these models (all) is 25 (BIP vs Verge lite) and 15 days (Verge lite vs Verge). Specifications is almost the same which have Verge, so which models is closer to each other? :victory:

Most/All power goes to the screen. Both verge feature an amoled, hence higher consumption. If bip had an amoled would also fall in the 20days category. That is the logic behind my thoughts, but of course I may be wrong.
I also think Verge Lite is more like "the new Bip", but with improved screen, main reason why battery life goes 45 -> 20 days.

If you like stratos chassis, go for stratos, but other than that and the waterproof feature, it is almost the same watch. Verge has an amoled screen, not visible under sun but better resolution and colors, however, the new Nexo watch may be better so if I were you I would wait to see some reviews and a global release.

Yes only 24 hours, but with 4G connection, which "eating" device battery very much. But you know what is most funny thing? For example Samsung or others manufactors much more expensive smart watches can't be more as this or similar time without 4G, so how much they will be if they have 4G?

Today i read about Vertge 2 (known as Nexo), this watch will be animal in a certain aspect, even if you are in China. You can unlock with this watch your car (specific model) and to start it. Also this watch will call emergency help if you will be need it in some kind of situation and for that will no need smartphone (as i understand). There is eSim (by the way it works only in China) with 4G, which by the way copied from Apple's watch (in source was written that). Of course heart rate tracking which have much more power and you will be warming about unusual activity of it and ect. Also more powerful processor and ect. What's else? Oh i forgot to write, with 4G it can be without charge about 30 hours (exactly 28h), but this is with activated 4G, without 4G (working as i mentioned only in China yet) probably can be alive without charger 2 - 3 days as was mentioned in source. So it's not bad. Resoliution is better as Verge, more as 400, i can't remember excatly 460x460 or 480x480. AMOLED display and memory the same. About mircophone/sounspeaker is not mentioned, but will be strange if will not be it. But need to check about it. So if you need advise and if for you don't care possibility to talk with caller via watch or to listen music without phone via headphone Nexo i think is the best choice right now from not expensive models. By the way price must be from 125 to 180 euros, so it's really not expensive if to see what you will get with it And finally word: Verge 2 will be some models: average and something others
Change internal watchfaces
Hey guys! Does anyone know if I can and how to overwrite the internal watchfaces? I'm gonna give my Verge Lite to a friend and I've made a watchface for him, but everytime I unpair, the watchface goes back to the default.

Huawei did it again and came with a brand new high end device in 2017, this time it's the Huawei P10. So what is your thoughts about this phone? Feel free to discuss anything on this thread ( battery life, experience, help if you need it and more), have a nice day all :good:
I think I'm going to buy the P10 - I've previously owned a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge but found it too big - the P10 Plus is even bigger. Shame, as I'd like the enhanced camera and better screen. The P10 does look pretty nice though and the camera should be excellent. I wonder what colours we'll get here in the UK?

Thanks Soufianski. At the moment I'm more interested in the smaller P10, but who knows! Hopefully I can see them in the flesh and make a decision. The only negative of the Plus for me is the size.

Do you have the phone and got the update or found it elsewere? i'd like to see the software if its available for download.
Got it last night. No idea what has changed as the description was very vague. Only 250MB or so.
At the launch we were told our models had pre-release software and some portrait functions in the camera were coming soon, but I can't remember exactly what.

it was OTA later that day
I know it's early days, but I am finding the battery life on the P10 to be far better than the Mate 9. The Mate 9 obviously has the bigger display, but with such a big difference in battery you might still assume it would have the edge.
I did a phone clone so everything on the Mate 9 carried over, so they're both effectively running the same stuff. However, I'm using the P10 more than the Mate 9 which is often in standby.... so it becomes even more odd.
I will have to do some proper tests, but irrespective of the comparison aspect, I think the P10 battery life is exceptional. The Mate 9 is great too, but this is something else!

You can share some battery stats later here if you like :good:
What do you think about this article : "
That's because there's no oleophobic coating on the actual display of the P10 — at least on the review devices we were given in Barcelona last week. An oleophobic coating may sound obscure and technical, but it's a staple feature of all but the cheapest smartphone screens. This nanocoating, usually applied to the glass during manufacturing, repels oils — like the kind on your face and fingers — and stops the display from looking like it's been used as a pizza slice after you've been tapping, swiping and calling. "
Is the phone a finger print and smudges magnet?

You already have the P10? Where in the world are you? :laugh: I'm still waiting here. How about the standby time? I've read two reviews already that have complaints regarding huge battery drain. Namely from Recombu and Trustedreviews.

UK. Got mine at the same event as Recombu and Trusted. My review is pending still.
I'm finding the battery excellent, with Doze working fine (some say it doesn't). I did install AnTuTu to benchmark the phone and that seemed to keep running (never seen that before) and caused problems, so I removed it.
I wonder if they've downloaded that?
As I said before, I did a phone clone from my Mate 9, which has a nice setup of apps that are kept running and closed. So perhaps I've tweaked my P10 a lot more than others.
I've even got so used to the new fingerprint sensor that using my Mate 9 (or indeed any phone) now feels odd. Took just one week to master it!
I hope to have my in depth review done any day now. Need to take more photos and will be in London all day tomorrow with the P10, P9 and Mate 9 for comparisons.
Can you share the link of the stored firmware?

I think they did use Antutu. I saw one reviewer showing his battery stats and Antutu was at the top. So i guess That was the one causing the problem.
Yeah, i was thinking that maybe they just had a rogue app causing the drain since everybody uses their phones differently. Because, for me, 20% drain overnight is too much just because Doze didn't work.
I was also a little bummed that they moved the fingerprint sensor to the front but it's not really a big deal.
I eagerly await for your review!
Why should I choose a P10 ? G6 is water resistant, has a bigger screen and makes better photos ?

I have managed in under a week to get really used to the new fingerprint sensor. I always said I preferred it on the back, and this is the only phone I own that has it at the front - but it's VERY easy to get used to. I am sure you would too.
It's ironic that Samsung is moving its fingerprint reader to the back, and who knows what Apple will do.
AnTuTu was causing real problems, and brings up the warning about excessive drain. It shouldn't be doing anything when not running, but it seems to run itself. I wonder if there's something dodgy going on there (always rumours about AnTuTu taking bribes to boost scores). I hope not!

I can't answer that. I really liked the G6 at MWC. Awesome display and feels nice in the hand (not too thick) but I'm not hearing great things about the battery on that, although the reviewers have pre-release models (like the P10) and there was an update yesterday. Too late for some reviewers who already gave their phones back.
Hopefully I'll get a final release model and can compare. I've always liked the camera on the LG's since the G4. The G5 camera was great, but I hated the phone. The G4 had HORRIBLE battery life. The G6 may well be the phone that turns things around for LG, or it may not (for example, LG are pathetic at spending money on marketing). Huawei on the other hand seems to have a bottomless pit of money right now.
We've translated and compiled all the information from the release today of the new Amazfit Pace 2 (or Stratos).

' The only difference we could discern is the watch strap. The Premium apparently comes with a sports strap and a leather strap.'
2s have sapphire screen.
If the hardware is mainly the same, do you guys think we could update the old Pace with the enhanced software?

What are the new features in the firmware?
Logically, Amazfit will use the same firmware/branch just enable/disable some hw or marketing related features.

I'm a nobody on XDA and a spec of dust on of a reader on this PACE subforum, but I'm gonna tell you to trust me on this one: Firtsbeat HR processing algos (and the associated usage contracts and royalties that likely are the main driver of the HUGE price gap from the original Pace), are likely to make this device a hell of a lot more secure.
So I'd grab a good seat if you're waiting for any sort of custom firmware and/or translation from chinese to this, and with that any extension of functionality from the base hardware. Then again, the higher pricepoint might mean this will have an international audience, which in turn can lead to more english and other region support close to launch date.
The new version looks good. But i would not recommend anyone to purchase the new one, before they fix the issues with the old one. The gps measurements some times gets out of sync, so you are running in a parallel route. Also the gps power saving is to aggressive, so it doesn't update often enough. So all the corners are being cut.
Hello guys and Merry Christmas!
I suppose the version available for pre-order in amazfit official site is in Chinese only for now? Am I right or nobody can be sure for now?

A bit too much when comparing with current one? Afaik, hw is basically same re-packed in more fancy case.
With quite few exclusive features and a slew of upgraded abilities, which feature are y'all the most excited about?
Richard Yu spoke briefly about it having the best reception of any phone out there during the unveiling, and as I work in a very large brick building, I am excited to see if I get better LTE speed at work.
In display fingerprint scanner for me, I know there are other chinese manufacturers that implemented this solution before but they weren't anywhere close to a true flagships

I really hope this feature works well and doesn't leave you disappointed.
From what I've heard the animoji rip off sucked on P20 pro but I hope it also improves with the 3d scanning on mate 20 pro.
A lot of reviewers seem to be extremely excited because of the reverse wireless charging gimmick (or they have been paid to highlight it?) but for example in 30 minutes it only charges 3% of an iPhone and consumes 10% of the 20 Pro (so 11 hours to charge 33% the iPhone and discharging 20 pro from 100% to dead?) , this of course is expected if you know how wireless charging work but a lot were making it seem as if it was very fast and efficient.

If this application would work with the Sensor it would be an alternative to the original.

S9+ Camera is meh. The bokeh affect is quite bad compared to the P20 pro I had. And Touchwiz is by far the worst UI IMHO. I prefer even EMUI over it.

It was the 3d scanning and the AI video modes that appealed to me (gimmicky though they may be). Sadly neither are present on the phone at the present time! That said having used it for a couple of days now I find the phone really smooth to use, the battery life is good and the camera is excellent so will probably hang onto it and wait for the missing features to be added in by firmware updates.
Fossil Sport is at home, I can test it!
Beautiful Watch!
New Chipset S3100
Fossil Sport is at home, I can test it!
They are sold in two sizes 41 and 43
Price 270, - Euro (Germany)
Smaller size is in multiple colors
The small 41 have a removable strap 18mm
The large 43 have a removable strap of 22mm
I noticed an excellent battery life.
Used to be at the end of the day I be lucky to has 30% battery life, now I end the day with 70% battery life.
This is a win.
Yes it has no speaker but honestly my last 3 watches had a speaker and I never used it.
Yes I would like to have a speaker anyway but the excellent battery life makes up for the lack of a speaker
Fossil Sport Batery
Endurance Sport Fossil is great for me!
Every new charge consumes better.
Definitely better than my old Huawei watch 1
-Type by hand
-to calculate the steps
-all notifications turned on
-Fosily the face

Ps: Everybody uses a watch differently !!!
Current price in Germany: 199, - Euro
Heard rumors about WearOS 2.3 coming to Fossil SPORT, though so far no such update has hit my watch. Still waiting.

I don't know what to believe anymore: my watch shows WearOS version 2.3, but "Android OS" shows 8.1.0. What am I supposed to make of this? And yes, I've heard of "Version H," but that's not what I have apparently.
How good is the vibration?
I am looking for a smartwatch to help my mother who is hard hearing. Does the fossil sport vibrate enough to wake a person up? How long and hard does it vibrate?
Also the watch should notify her of fire alarm, visitors at the door etc. I assume that since it's a wear watch you can get notifications from ANY smartphone app on the watch?
Vibration wakes me up every day, can be set, normal. I use long and double!
Any news about update?

Nothing. Not a peep. Very frustrating. Watch is pretty much useless without an update to make it snappier.
I just got a new Fossil Sport. I have Android Wear 2.6 and the new Wear OS tiles

There were rumors a while ago that 9.x is in the offing, which would finally unlock some features of the 3100 chipset. Looks like they're taking their sweet time, so maybe we'll see 9.x right about the time the 3100 chipset is obsolete.
I have Android 8.1 with Wear OS 2.6 and I don't have any tiles, may it matter what version of WerOS we have in my mobile?

Another rumor is that Google is finally going to release a Pixel Watch. One would assume that it will have said 3100 chipset, and the new OS based on 9.x. One would also assume when that happens all the watches that have the 3100 will be updated at that time, or soon after. Who know with Google though.
I am new to smartwatches, but anyway, is there development for the fossil sport/bootloader unlocking?

I got tired of waiting for a pixel watch, there have been rumors for almost a year lol. The fossil sport seems decent for now. I'll probably sell it when, and IF, the pixel watch comes out. The pixel 2 xl has been my best phone ever ill be getting the pixel 3xl when the 4 comes out which I hope they finally release a pixel watch.
unlimited vibrate on notifications to wake me up
I want a smartwatch that can wake me up on every notification I want.
I used "smart wear notification" but even when setting a very long vibration patter it just vibrates the maximum firmware based vibration time.
I want it to vibrate until i turn it off like the alarm so it wakes me up on important notifications.
any other way I can do that, maybe I have to root te smartwatch (I'm new to smartwatches, don't know what is possible)
Anybody who is like me an regularly checks the OS update option for update but it always seems up to date try this. Just tried and it actually worked. I'm downloading an update now. At first it said the usual up to date but tapped a few times, went out and then went back in and it started downloading
As far as I can tell I currently already have on watch same latest version (8.1.0/Tiles) as others here already but I'm assuming this new update is security patches. I'm hoping it's some performances improvements though as the watch/OS is really laggy.

I just bought the Chinese GTS and I love it but one thing is pissing me off.
When I get a notification, some of the breaks get broken up. so it looks like this
"hello this is a test mes
ssage from your frien
d Thomas."
Very annoying and not fun to read at all.
Anyone have a fix?
I've tried both "notify & fitness" and "amazfit tools". No option to change it seems

I returned the GTS for this reason. Absolutely garbage at displaying notifications, and the UI is laggy as hell.
Good price, good battery life and beautiful design, but the software is a joke.
+1
Had a Huawei Watch GT that did this too and it drove me mad. When Huawei borked the software and couldn't be bothered to fix it, I got rid of it and bought the GTS.
I'm hoping it gets fixed. The Mi Band 4 was like this at launch but a firmware fix sorted it. I just hope the Amazfit devs are as active as the Mi devs.
Wow. Was there ever a fix for this on GTS 2? Broke up the word conjured in this picture.
