According to the leak, the Amazfit GTS2 and GTR 2 will support multiple voice assistance in addition to Alexa. There are indications that these devices would also come with additional features including health monitoring, exercise modes etc. However, there isn't much to be gleaned about the mysterious third codename besides the fact that it is called the Amazfit Neo.
