iQOO is gearing up to launch its latest wearable, the iQOO Watch 5, later this month in China. The company has started teasing the smartwatch on Chinese social media, highlighting several upgrades including new AI features, an e-sports mode, and long battery life.

The iQOO Watch 5 will be the first smartwatch to run on BlueOS 2.5, Vivo’s in-house operating system. One of the standout additions is the inclusion of “Blue Heart Xiao V x DeepSeek,” an AI-powered assistant that activates via raise-to-wake. It can handle voice commands, control smartwatch features, and even function as a phone assistant—recording calls and summarizing them automatically. The assistant also offers proactive reminders related to travel, medication, and daily work schedules.

Battery life appears to be a strong suit of the Watch 5. iQOO claims it can last up to 22 days in Bluetooth mode and around 14 days when used with an eSIM, giving it a significant edge over many wearables in the same segment.

The watch’s design includes a round dial with a rotating crown and a side-mounted button. Strap options include fluoroelastomer and woven fabric variants. The Watch 5 had already made a public appearance at the King Pro League 2025 Spring Finals, a major esports tournament for Honor of Kings. There, iQOO demonstrated its new “e-sports mode,” capable of monitoring players’ heart rate, calorie burn, and more during gameplay. It also supports data sharing and can be used to initiate game countdowns—further blending health tracking with gaming functionality.

The iQOO Watch 5 is expected to launch in China on May 20. While the company has not shared any international availability details, its AI-driven features and extended battery life may attract attention beyond the Chinese market.

The post iQOO Watch 5 with BlueOS 2.5 and AI assistant launching later this month appeared first on Gizmochina.

iQOO is working on a gaming tablet, but this is expected to debut in the second half of 2025. This month, the brand will hold a launch event in China to unveil the Neo 10 Pro+ flagship phone. The said event will also see the arrival of the new iQOO Pad 5 series of tablets and the iQOO Watch 5. While the brand has already revealed the design of the Watch 5, it is yet to confirm its key specifications. On the other hand, the rumor mill has already leaked some information about the iQOO Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro.

iQOO Pad 5 series: What’s known so far

To recall, iQOO launched the iQOO Pad 2 series of tablets last year. However, the above poster reveals that the brand has decided to skip the Pad 3 and Pad 4 monikers, and the next generation will be called the Pad 5 series.

The brand revealed that the Pad 5 series will offer what it describes as “PC-level performance on a big screen” but has not mentioned any specifications. A recent Weibo post from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked some key details ahead of the launch.

According to the leak, iQOO is planning to unveil two flagship-tier tablets this year, the iQOO Pad 5 Pro with a 13-inch display and another with a slightly smaller iQOO Pad 5 equipped with a 12.1-inch screen.

The 12.1-inch model, on the other hand, could offer a 2.8K LCD screen and run on the Dimensity 9300+ chipset, paired with 44W fast charging. The larger model will have a 13-inch LCD screen with a 3.1K resolution, a Dimensity 9400+v chipset, and 66W fast charging. This model could be based on the Vivo Pad 5 Pro, which features the Dimensity 9400 chip.

iQOO Watch 5 incoming

The iQOO Watch 5 features a round dial with a vibrant, split-tone red and blue KPL-themed watch face. It has a sporty dual-tone fabric strap and a sleek black case, reflecting a bold and energetic esports aesthetic. As mentioned above, the technical details of Watch 5 are under wraps. However, it is likely to be identical to the Vivo Watch 5, which debuted last month.
