Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2: Separating Rumour From Reality

Zepp Health seems to be preparing a major release under the Amazfit brand. Recent regulatory filings (model A2418) point to a rumoured T-Rex Ultra 2, but there may be some confusion with refreshes of existing models such as the T-Rex 3 Pro in a new Black Gold finish.

T-Rex 3 Pro vs. Rumoured T-Rex Ultra 2

The T-Rex Ultra 2 (expected Q1 2026) appears in Zepp app code, so a new product is almost certainly planned. However, forum leaks, hinting at transformational jumps in features seem to source back to only one or two original comments and could be entirely speculative with a degree of irrational exuberance on the part of existing Amazfit owners!

For example, as the following table of ‘rumours’ shows, microLED is a potential new feature, as is satellite connectivity. This all, to me, sounds like someone wanting a cheaper Fenix 8 pro/microLED branded as Amazfit rather than reflecting the likely reality of what we will see.

Analysis

Of the two, I would say that the satellite messaging is more likely from a hardware perspective. The communications chip required to support satellite constellations could already be an off-the-shelf item from the component supplies who already supply satellite connectivity to Apple, Google and Garmin. However, the satellite features, at this stage in the feature development cycle, are very much safety features rather than convenience features (like SMS messaging). Thus, they require an emergency response infrastructure behind them, that is a non-trivial ask, even Google had to piggyback on what Garmin does there, and I’m not sure that Amazfit has the same commercial footprint or clout as Garmin.

Nevertheless, it’s technically possible for Amazfit to achieve this.

Turning to microLED. To my best knowledge there is currently only one global microLED supplier of wearable display panels and that is AUO. AUO is the same company who supplies Garmin. The same company who undoubtedly charge quite a lot of money for the display panel (the manufacturing process has a high failure rate). I’m just not sure that Amazfit can absorb the extra cost of microLED at this stage at its current price points, nor that it would even want to. AUO’s panels are likely to be identical to those sold to Garmin, and hence will hinder battery life rather than boost it. Why would a brand want to do that? I can just about see Garmin wanting to experiment with the tech and be seen as an innovation leader, but I’m not sure Amazfit needs to occupy the same spot in the market in that sense.

Contrast that to improved dive rating and more battery life: yeah, I’d buy those improvements.

Take Out

These technical updates are certainly possible, but I wouldn’t bet on either.
