The GTR 3 Series was one of the best looking smartwatches last year and had a sporty look with an elegant look. We were impressed with all the new features, software and battery life in the GTR 3. The new GTR 4 series will reportedly have an all-new design and include a few missing features from the GTR 3 and GTS 3 smartwatches.
GSMArena managed to get their hands on some renders and specs of the upcoming Amazfit GTR 4 and GTS 4 smartwatches. The new images reveal a completely new design and describe the new features we can expect in the next generation of smartwatches.
Firstly, the Amazfit GTR 4 will have the same rounded shape, but the physical appearance will undergo some rather significant changes. It will be equipped with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 and an Always-on Display (AoD). The watch itself is made of an aluminum alloy and is offered in black and silver colours. The GTR 4 also has a side button on the bottom right and a crown button on the top. The watch is offered with leather, silicone and nylon straps.
The GTR 3 had a large 450 mAh battery, which could easily last more than 14 days on a single charge. The Amazfit GTR 4 has a 475 mAh battery, suitable for up to 12 days of regular use.
Second, the Amazfit GTS 4. The smartwatch still retains the rounded design and sports an even larger 1.75-inch AMOLED display with a 390 x 450 resolution. We’re not sure we’ll see the same AoD feature here. , but the watch has the same crown button on the right. The watch case is made of aluminum, is 9.9 mm thick and weighs only 27 grams without the strap. The Amazfit GTS 4 will reportedly be offered in black, rose gold and brown colors, with silicone or nylon straps.
The GTS 3 had a 250 mAh battery that lasted 12 days on a single charge. The GTS 4 is expected to have a larger 300 mAh battery, which will last up to 7 days, assuming it’s used heavily and most of the tracking features are enabled.
Like the previous models, the GTS and GTR 4 smartwatches offer more than 200 watch faces and the ability to enable AoD. The report also claims that Amazfit will offer 30 animated watch faces for a unique experience. The new smartwatches will automatically measure and detect more than 150 sports activities, and the wearables will also feature dual-band GPS for more accurate tracking.
What’s more interesting is that the new smartwatches will reportedly have a speaker and microphone to support Bluetooth calling and music playback. Previously this was only supported on the GTR 3 Pro smartwatch and we can’t wait to see this feature appear in the cheaper models.
Like the last generation, the watches have built-in support for Amazon Alexa and come with the Zepp OS 2.0 interface, which is an easy-to-understand and highly feature-rich platform for controlling the wearables.
Thoughts on the new features and appearance
The GTR 3 Series looked excellent and I loved that it had a lot in common with minimalism and sporty looks. However, the new GTR 4 series seems to go a step further, making the smartwatch look more elegant. The design changes look impressive, and while this is completely subjective, I’m a fan of the new changes.
Hearing news of the smartwatches rocking the speaker and microphone components excites me because the only thing the GTR 3 couldn’t do was make calls. The GTR 3 Pro was an impressive smartwatch, but it was hard to recommend over the slightly cheaper GTR 3. Even if the new smartwatches come with a slightly higher price tag, they could quickly become the new recommendation for those users who want to spend less. pay for elegant, smart and reliable smartwatches
