| The Amazfit Active Max could retail for less than $200. |
Tech fans and smartwatch shoppers, take note: Amazfit appears to be accelerating its release schedule. Just months after launching the popular Active 2 Square, the wearable giant seems ready to unveil its successor—the Amazfit Active Max—and the leaked specs suggest a significant upgrade.
Earlier today, rumours swirled about a mysterious ‘A2557’ model spotted online. Now, thanks to a fresh report from renowned leaker Roland Quandt, we have a clearer picture. The device is likely to be branded the Amazfit Active Max, positioning it as a new flagship in the Active series.
A Bigger, Bolder Display
The most immediate upgrade seems to be the screen. According to details shared by Quandt on Bluesky, sourced from early retail data, the Active Max will sport a 1.5-inch OLED display. This is a notable jump from the 1.32-inch panel on the current Amazfit Active 2 Square (currently $119 on Amazon).
Not only is it larger, but it’s also sharp. The resolution is pegged at 480 x 480 pixels, which should make for crisp visuals. Images from the leak suggest Amazfit has minimized bezels effectively, using design elements like faux chapter rings to create a sleek, modern look.
Battery Life That Could Redefine Expectations
If the specs hold, battery life will be the headline feature. Quandt reports the Active Max will pack a substantial 576 mAh battery. For perspective, the Active 2’s 270 mAh cell already delivers an impressive “over a week” of endurance.
We’re now looking at a device that could realistically push the two-week mark on a single charge, a claim that would put it in a league of its own for a smartwatch with these features.
Premium Features for an Active Lifestyle
The leaks point to a well-equipped device for fitness and daily use:
- 5 ATM Waterproofing: Rated for up to 50 meters, making it swim-proof and ideal for all-weather wear.
- Robust Connectivity: Expected to include Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, and NFC for contactless payments.
- Ample Storage: 4 GB of built-in storage should allow for plenty of music, apps, and watch faces.
Pricing and Availability
The reported Eurozone price is €169.90. If Amazfit follows its previous pricing strategy—where the Euro and US dollar prices are often numerically similar—we can expect the Amazfit Active Max to hit the US market at around $169.99.
This positions it as a premium mid-tier offering, a step above the Active 2 but likely below the company’s GTR and GTS series. For shoppers comparing, the current Amazfit Active 2 Square remains an excellent value buy on Amazon if you don’t need the absolute longest battery.
The Bottom Line
The Amazfit Active Max leak paints the picture of a substantial refresh: more screen, dramatically more battery, and a suite of modern features. While an official launch date is still unknown, the detailed retail leak suggests it’s imminent.
For those who prioritize longevity and a larger display in a fitness-focused smartwatch, the Active Max could be worth the wait and the higher price point. For everyone else, the now-discounted Amazfit Active 2 continues to be one of the best smartwatch deals available.
