Amazfit Active 3 Premium Emerges in App Code: What to Expect from Zepp Health's Next Smartwatch

The latest Zepp app update (version 10.0.5) contains references to an unannounced Amazfit Active 3 Premium smartwatch, according to code analysis by Gadgets & Wearables. This discovery points to Zepp Health's continued development of its Active series, though no specifications have been revealed. The find comes just two months after the December 2025 launch of the Amazfit Active Max.

The Active 3 Premium designation suggests it will succeed the current Active 2 Premium model, which features a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with sapphire glass protection, GPS tracking, over 160 workout modes, and NFC-based Zepp Pay functionality (limited to European markets). Like its predecessor, the new model will likely maintain leather and silicone strap options while potentially adopting improvements from the recent Active Max release.

Comparing possible upgrades, the Active Max introduced a larger battery capacity and expanded storage - features that would be natural inclusions for the Active 3 Premium. We expect Zepp Health to maintain the series' focus on health metrics including heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen tracking, and sleep analysis, while potentially improving sensor accuracy and algorithm sophistication.

Release timing follows a predictable pattern: The original Active debuted in January 2023, followed by the Active 2 in April 2024. Applying this 15-month development cycle places the Active 3 series launch in April-May 2026. A recent Malaysian certification filing suggests active development, though it's unclear whether this pertains to the Active 3 or the rumored T-Rex Ultra 2 rugged model.

For potential buyers, the Active 3 Premium will likely target fitness enthusiasts seeking comprehensive health tracking without flagship pricing. Its position in Amazfit's lineup suggests it will compete directly with mid-tier offerings from Fitbit and Garmin. Key questions remain about whether Zepp Health will expand NFC payment support beyond Europe and if battery life will exceed the Active 2 Premium's 14-day rating.

Until official specifications emerge, the Active Max ($169.99 on Amazon) represents Zepp Health's current technical benchmark for the series. We'll monitor certification databases and app updates for concrete details about display technology, processor upgrades, and new health sensors. Given Zepp Health's pattern of incremental improvements, expect refinements rather than radical changes when the Active 3 series launches next year.
