Amazfit Bip Max is about to launch, giving the Bip line a larger option for anyone who likes the basic Bip formula but wants something with more wrist presence. It will arrive as the successor to the Amazfit Bip 6, which landed in March 2025.
This is not one of those comparisons where the two watches are pretending to be completely different things. They share the same general shape and everyday smartwatch focus, but Bip Max pushes the format bigger, while Bip 6 keeps things lighter and a bit more polished on the wrist.
So let’s get into the detail as to what separates these two devices. It’s worth noting that this article is based on leaked information about the upcoming device. We will update it when more info becomes available.
Bigger screen and brighter display
The display is the obvious starting point. Amazfit Bip Max is uses a 2.07 inch AMOLED, compared with the 1.97 inch AMOLED on the Bip 6. That does not sound like a huge jump, but on a square smartwatch it should be noticeable, especially for widgets, maps, workout stats and larger watch faces.

Resolution also moves up from 390 x 450 on the Bip 6 to 432 x 514 on the Bip Max. Peak brightness climbs as well, from 2000 nits to 3000 nits. So the Max is not just larger, it should also be easier to read outdoors if the leaked figure holds up.
Both watches use tempered glass with an anti fingerprint coating, so this is not a case of the Max moving to a more premium glass material. The difference here is mostly about size, pixels and brightness. That fits the visual design too, as the Max looks like it has been built to make the screen the main selling point.

Bigger body and different controls
The size difference is plain to see. Bip Max measures 49.5 x 42.63 x 10.93 mm, while Bip 6 measures 46.3 x 40.2 x 10.45 mm. The Max is wider, taller and slightly thicker. Hence the name Max!
Bip Max weighs 52.6g with the strap, while Bip 6 weighs 44g. So yes, the Max is heavier, but not by a lot. What you will probably feel more is the larger case, because the Max simply takes up more space on the wrist.
The controls also split the two devices visually. Bip Max has the more obvious crown on the right side, paired with a flat button below it. Bip 6 uses two flatter side buttons instead, which gives it a more basic control system.
More storage for music and maps
Storage is another big gap between the two. Bip Max comes with 4GB, while Bip 6 has 512MB, with around 100MB available for files. That is a sizeable difference for a budget smartwatch.
The extra space on Bip Max can be used for maps as well as music, which gives the watch a bit more standalone appeal. It also makes the Max feel less like a basic fitness watch and more like a low cost smartwatch with some proper offline capability.
Bip 6 still covers the essentials, but its available file storage is much more limited. For users who do not care about storing anything on the watch, that may not be a big issue. But if offline content is part of the appeal, the leaked Max spec has the clear advantage.
Battery life gets a clear bump
Battery capacity also moves up sharply. Bip Max has a 540 mAh battery, while Bip 6 has a 340 mAh battery. That is a large increase and it helps explain the bigger case.
Typical battery life is quoted at up to 20 days for Bip Max, compared with up to 14 days for Bip 6. As always, real use will depend on brightness, workouts, Bluetooth calling, health tracking and always on display settings. But on paper, the Max has more headroom.
WiFi joins the spec sheet
Connectivity is another area where the Max steps ahead. It adds WiFi and uses Bluetooth 5.3, while Bip 6 has Bluetooth 5.2 and no WiFi. That helps with faster syncing, updates and transferring files.
Both watches still include a microphone and speaker, so Bluetooth calling is present on both. NFC is absent from both spec sheets, so there is no difference there. The Max gets the advantage mainly through WiFi and the newer Bluetooth version.
The sensor is pretty much the same. Both include the BioTracker PPG biometric sensor with 5PD and 2LED, along with acceleration, gyroscope, ambient light and geomagnetic sensors. So this is not a sensor upgrade story.
Our takeaway
Amazfit Bip Max is expected to come in at $100, while Bip 6 sits at $80. So this is not a huge price gap, but the two watches do start to make sense for slightly different people.
Bip Max is the one to go for if you want the larger screen, longer battery life, WiFi and more room for music and maps. It is also the bigger watch on the wrist, so that extra hardware comes with a chunkier feel.
Bip 6 is the neater option. It costs less, weighs less and keeps the same basic Bip idea in a smaller body. If you do not care about the bigger display or extra storage, that $80 model still looks like the easier everyday pick.
