Amazfit 2026 roadmap points to more T-Rex models and next-gen Helio Strap

Zepp Health has already pushed out a busy run of Amazfit devices in 2026, but the company is not finished yet. Its earnings comments from yesterday point to more launches this year, including additional T-Rex family products and a next-generation Helio Strap in the second half.


A launch-heavy first half

Active Max, Active 3 Premium and T-Rex Ultra 2 were named as key contributors to first-quarter growth. Balance 3, Balance Ultra, Cheetah 2 Pro, Cheetah 2 Ultra and Bip Max also appear in the company’s product commentary.

Some launches sit at the value end, while T-Rex Ultra 2 pushes higher with its Grade 5 titanium build. Balance 3 and Balance Ultra carry the newer hybrid training message, with HYROX, recovery and readiness moving closer to the centre of the brand. The Cheetah 2 line takes that into running, with marathon, trail and mountain use tied into Zepp Coach, training plans and recovery tools.

The interesting part is what comes next. Zepp Health said 2026 would likely bring around the same number of launches as 2025, or slightly more. With 2025 put at around nine products, the remaining launch list may now be fairly short.


T-Rex may not be done yet

The T-Rex line could be an area to watch. Zepp Health talked up the performance of its Adventure series and said the T-Rex family had helped lift average selling prices and improve the overall product mix.

More interestingly, management referred to “some of the new products also in the T-Rex family lined up in 2026.

“we have launched the T Rex 3 Pro and we have also launched the T Rex Ultra 2 in February. Right. And then we have some of the new products also in the T Rex family lined up in 2026.”

The company is not only launching more hardware, it is trying to push Amazfit further upmarket. Premium models are taking a larger share of sales, which suggests buyers are becoming more comfortable moving higher up the range. For example, the premium T-Rex models priced at $399 and $549 accounted for nearly half of total T-Rex family unit sales in March and April.


A new Helio Strap is in the works

Another direct hint concerns Helio Strap. Zepp Health said the current Helio Strap performed very well in 2025 and may have been one of the most popular products in its price range within the company’s portfolio.

The problem was supply. Management admitted it did not manufacture enough Helio Strap units to meet demand during the Q3 and Q4 high seasons. It now says it is resolving the supply chain issue for 2026, which should make the device easier to find.

“On the Helio strap, on the other hand, we’re also working on the next generation of those as we speak. So stay tuned for the second half of this year.” 

In fact, a few weeks ago we spotted the first reference to the next gen device in the FCC database. So that one should clearly drop soon.


The ring question remains open

The same analyst question also mentioned the Amazfit strap and ring, but Zepp Health’s answer mainly focused on Helio Strap. So for now, the strap looks much more concrete than the ring. To remind, the company is still in dispute with Oura and there’s a legal battle going on in that space.

The broader HYROX partnership also leaves room for Zepp Health to move beyond watches and straps over time. The company mentions categories such as smartwatches, rings, cameras, glasses and straps in the partnership language. But that should not be treated as confirmation that all of those products are coming soon.

So what are we to make of all of this? Zepp Health has already launched a large chunk of its 2026 hardware, but the year is not done. More than nine launches now looks likely, more T-Rex family products may be in the pipeline and a next-generation Helio Strap looks like the clearest second-half device to watch.

“Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on strengthening our premium product lineup, expanding our ecosystem through AI driven training, insights and performance technologies, and deepening our engagement with performance focused communities.”
