As we reported yesterday, Xiaomi has now started rolling out second over-the-air (OTA) update for the Mi Watch in China. The company has also announced new features that have been introduced with this update.
Xiaomi says that it has added algorithmic body energy function and pressure detection feature which is powered by Firstbeat. Along with that, it has also added breathing training function to get relaxed, new dial designs, and fully-featured XiaoAI with functions like one-step voice taxi, among others.
The company had recently revealed that the new OTA rollout for the smartwatch will begin on 17th January and every user will get it by 22nd January.
The Xiaomi Mi Watch comes with a square touchscreen display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It features a 1.78-inch AMOLED curved display with 326 PPI pixel density and the back of the watch is made out of ceramic.
It has a crown on the right that can be used to navigate through the watch UI. Apart from the crown, there’s a multi-purpose button as well as a microphone on the right side. On the left side, you have another microphone hole along with a speaker vent.
The device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 4G chipset featuring four Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1.2GHz. The watch features one of the biggest batteries ever seen on a smartwatch featuring 570mAh in capacity which the company claims can last up to 36 hours or up to two days on a single charge.
