Display and materials
This is the part of the smartwatch that users will interact with the most, so it will likely be the deciding factor for anyone considering any of the three watches.
Amazfit GTS 2 and GTS 2e share the same screen - a 1,65-inch Super Retina display. They are distinguished by the glass covering the screen: on the former you get 3D curved glass and on the latter you get 2.5D glass. Aesthetics aside, the screens are the same. So you can't go wrong with any of them.
However, the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini has a smaller AMOLED display and is less sharp. It's not bad, but it doesn't compare to his brothers and sisters.
In terms of materials, Huami uses the same case material for all three watches, which is commendable. It is an aluminum alloy, but the coating is different, and this is one of their differences.
Sports Modes and Features
The Amazfit GTS 2 line supports many sports modes - 90 modes on the Amazfit GTS 2 and GTS 2e, while the GTS 2 Mini has 70, which is more than enough.
All three models also support basic functions such as heart rate measurement, blood oxygen measurement and sleep tracking. The GTS 2e adds a temperature measurement function not found in the more expensive GTS 2 and the more affordable GTS 2 Mini. You can use a temperature sensor to measure the ambient temperature as well as the user's skin (surface) temperature, Huami said.

Unique feature Amazfit GTS 2 Mini Is support for women's health, and surprisingly it's the only one of the three that has it. This will make it more attractive to women, as the menstrual calendar, along with reminders for menstruation and ovulation, will certainly come in handy.
Amazfit GTS also has its own unique features, one of which is built-in storage that allows users to save their own songs on the watch. Another feature it has is support for Bluetooth calls, so you can take and answer calls on it as it has not only a microphone but also a speaker. It's also the only one that connects over Wi-Fi.
Battery life
Amazfit GTS 2 and Amazfit GTS 2e have the same battery capacity, but the latter has better battery life. The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini, which has a smaller battery, but of course a smaller screen, also has excellent battery life - in line with that of the Amazfit GTS 2e.
Price
The Amazfit GTS 2 is the most expensive of the three, and Huami can justify that with its clearer display, built-in storage, call support and improved finish. The Amazfit GTS 2e is more affordable, while retaining most of its brother's features. It also has significantly better battery life, which is one of the disadvantages of the Amazfit GTS 2.
The GTS 2 Mini is the most affordable of the bunch and this low price is driven by a trade-off between screen size and type, fewer sport modes and engine type. Its battery life also matches the battery life of the new Amazfit GTS 2e.

Conclusion
There is no compelling reason to purchase the Amazfit GTS 2 as there is the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini and the release of the Amazfit GTS 2e further enhances this point. The GTS 2e has the same display as the GTS 2, with most of its features and a much longer battery life - just 100 yen more than the Mini. All this makes the Amazfit GTS 2 a very salable one.
So, if you want to choose a model from the second generation GTS series, we will consider the Amazfit GTS 2e or the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini in front of the Amazfit GTS 2 first.
