Xiaomi Kids Smartwatch 7C

We have spotted the Xiaomi Smartwatch 7C with the model number MTSB28XUN, in our database. Unfortunately, this is the only information we have. Our latest findings confirm that this watch will debut soon, though we don’t have any details on the specs yet. Nevertheless, Xiaomi’s devices aimed at kids are usually very useful for both children and their parents.

The upcoming Xiaomi Kids Smartwatch 7C will feature 4G connectivity support, which is actually a crucial element for a kid’s smartwatch. This allows children without phones to make audio calls to their parents with only the smartwatch. Parents worried about their children spending too much time on phones may buy this watch to maintain basic communication. While it might not be a perfect use case scenario, it’s great to see Xiaomi introducing a device specifically for kids.

There are indications that the Xiaomi S3 series of smartwatches may be getting a new model soon. A new Xiaomi smartwatch has gotten the 3C certification, indicating an imminent product launch.

The 3C certification is among the certifications obtained before the product’s final release. While the 3C listing did not list the device’s name, it is tipped as a Watch S3 series model. The certification page did reveal the device’s charging rating and other details. According to the details extracted from the 3C website, the new Xiaomi smartwatch has the model number M2312W1 and supports 10W charging.

The Xiaomi Watch S3 already launched with a 1.43-inch AMOLED colorful large screen with a 10Hz refresh rate, 326 PPI, and 600 nits of maximum brightness. It offers 256 automatic brightness levels and comes with the industry’s first variable design. The color and style of the bezel can be removed and replaced when needed. The watch will automatically sense and trigger an exclusive customized dial, offering various style combinations for the watch. The smartwatch is equipped with the Unisoc W117 chip with a built-in LPDDR2, 1.0GHz A7 CPU core with support for complete eSIM/ eSIM independent communication. Users can use the network independently without connecting to a mobile phone.

The Xiaomi Watch S3 runs on the Surge OS with a seamless connection to the Xiaomi smart ecosystem. One major highlight of the smartwatch is the ability to unlock the Xiaomi SU7 Electric Vehicle. With the ability to unlock the SU7, Xiaomi may be looking to expand its ecosystem of connected devices to its new SUV.

Xiaomi appears to be gearing up to launch a new smartwatch in European and Asian markets dubbed the Xiaomi Watch S1.

According to a report by 91mobiles, tipster Mukul Sharma informed that the Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is working on a new smartwatch dubbed the Xiaomi Watch S1. The smartwatch is expected to hit multiple markets globally, including Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, in Q1 of 2022. The smartwatch is also set to debut in India but it is not confirmed at the moment.

The Xiaomi Watch S1 is believed to be the next generation of smartwatches offered by the company after Mi Watch Colour, Mi Watch Revolve, and the Mi Watch Revolve Active. Unfortunately, the specifications of this upcoming smartwatch are still under wraps, but we can get a gist of what to expect by looking at the Mi Watch Revolve Active.

The Mi Watch Revolve Active, released back in June, offers various features like SpO2 blood oxygen monitoring, 24/7 heart rate monitor, VO2 Max, sleep tracking, and even a stress and energy indicator. It also supports 5ATM water resistance and is offered in 6 colorful strap options.

Furthermore, the Mi Watch Revolve Active also supports Amazon’s Alexa and offers users music control, 117 sports modes, over 110 Watch faces, inbuilt GPS/GLONASS positioning system alongside app notifications. The smartwatch sports a circular 3.53 cm (1.38 inch) colored AMOLED display and has a battery life of 14 days.

Xiaomi has officially teased its upcoming smartwatch, the Color Watch 2. The new wearable is set to launch on 27th September 2021 and will be the latest smartwatch from the company.

As per the latest teaser poster, the Chinese tech giant’s Watch Color 2 will sport a round dial and will be available for purchase in 6 color straps. Furthermore, the company will also offer over 200 dial faces to choose from online. Back in 2020, the first Watch Color was launched with a 1.39 inch AMOLED display that offered 14 days of battery life. This version offered Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, 5ATM water resistance, and more. Since then, the company even launched a Color Sport variant as well that brought GPS functionality and blood oxygen detection, among other features.

In other words, we can expect the upcoming Watch Color 2 to also feature many of these features with slight improvements. Although, we can expect the usual heart rate and activity tracking features along with a similar battery life. But the brand has yet to reveal any finer details regarding this smartwatch as of right now. Notably, the September 27 launch event will also include the announcement for the Xiaomi CIVI smartphone, Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphones and other products. So stay tuned for more, as we will be covering the launch event and any new teasers shared before its official release as well.

Earlier today (3rd December 2020), Xiaomi started the sale of its Watch Color smartwatch in the wearables category. The new device is touted for its impressively long lasting battery life. Notably, the company has also released an unboxing video for the high end model of the smartwatch.

Specifications and Features

Xiaomi’s Watch Color is the latest entry in the company’s smart wearables category. It features a 1.39 inch AMOLED high definition display on a circular dial. The resolution of the display is 454 x 454px and supports Bluetooth 5.0 technology and a 420mAh battery capacity. It also supports NFC connectivity and built-in Xiao AI voice assistant, enabling control of one’s smart home from just the wrists.

Xiaomi’s Watch Color is equipped with 6 high precision sensors that accurately map complex movement, heart rate and locks the user’s movement trajectory. It can also be set with different outdoor and indoor activity modes that include, running, cycling, mountain climbing or even swimming and indoor cycling and treadmill running.

The smartwatch is capable of monitoring and analyzing various body biometrics throughout the day. It can calculate the calories burnt in real time, detect heart rate for 4 hours, sleep detection, pressure detection and more, to gain an in-depth understanding of the user’s physical conditions.

Battery life is a big concern for many users of the smartwatches. Xiaomi had addressed this problem with the Watch Color, which can be used for about 14 days in a single full charge. However, the smartwatch can last even longer for up to 22 days if used in the long endurance mode.

Availability

Xiaomi’s Watch Color is currently available for 799 Yuan or roughly 114 US Dollars. It is being sold from all the company’s official channels in China. It is available in multiple different color schemes and is targetted towards the youth of China. The dial arrives in multiple variants to choose from while the wristband of the Watch Color has 6 silicone colors to choose from, also being available in leather strap versions as well (including crocodile patterned leather straps). Thus, the total number of combinations from the dial and straps come out with a notable 1540 unique configurations.

Unboxing

Today, the Chinese tech giant released an unboxing video on Xiaomi’s Mijia official website. The Watch Color packaging includes three major items that includes the smartwatch, the product manual, and the charging stand. The video also revealed the wearables in its broad range of customizable configurations that are suitable for both its male and female buyers.

Xiaomi had just recently unveiled its latest smart wearables product dubbed the Xiaomi Watch Color which is known for its impressively long battery life. And today (31st December 2019), the General Manager of Xiaomi’s Ecological Chain, Qu Heng, explained the strategy behind the Xiaomi Color Watch and the wearables/IoT devices as a whole through Weibo.

According to Qu Heng, many people did not expect a New Year release of a new wearable product. Furthermore, the Xiaomi Watch Color is a new start for the company which is now focusing on a new category that intends to deliver smart bands with a long-lasting battery life that is useful at work, exercising and even when relaxing.

True Smartwatches and Long lasting Smartwatches

One of the core ideas the General Manager wanted to get across is that he hopes the industry distinguishes between a “true smartwatch” and a “long battery life smartwatch.” He states that the difference between the two categories should be clear, offering the user more knowledge and the right to choose between both of them. Hu Qeng mentions that a true smartwatch should use eSIMs and have the ability to make calls and download apps, and function independently from a smartphone to some degree.

Customizability

Going forward, Xiaomi with the Watch Color also wanted to make the wearables a more sought after and attractive product; One that a person might wear fashionably as well as for utility. It needed to be trendy and yet maintain strong cultural attributes as well. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer apparently took cues from the Mi Band 4 and brought all the popular functions, themes, and UI functions to the Watch Color.

Additionally, the company added a larger screen, more color options and also offered multiple dials themes to choose from (options for leather bands for formal wear is a welcomed option too). All of this translates to a freely customizable experience so the user is never bound to a particular look that an OEM dictates.

Making wearables more essential

Xiaomi had intended to make the Watch Color a more accessible and go to product from the company. It was meant to be more supplementary to a user’s life and not just a luxury tech product offered alongside its smartphones. In other words, it is not just an accessory but aims to be a part of one’s life. With the launch of the Xiaomi Watch Color, the company plans to target the individualistic needs of a user that may require a true smartwatch or a long-lasting smartwatch.

The Xiaomi Watch Color also fills in the gap between Mi Band 4 and Xiaomi Watch. The release was from a core strategic point of view and the new Xiaomi wearable product only seeks to boost its AIoT lineup. Lastly, this entry from the company might also end up encouraging other OEMs to offer long lasting smartwatches as well.

Xiaomi has officially announced the Mi Watch today at an event in Beijing, China. This marks the first true smartwatch from the company, after launching four successive generations of the fitness-centric Mi Band series since 2014. Xiaomi’s first real smartwatch is special not just because it’s feature-rich, but also because the company has a reputation of shaking-up every industry that it enters.

Xiaomi Mi Watch Is A Cheaper Apple Watch

Xiaomi has shamelessly copied the Apple Watch for the Mi Watch’s design and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Apple Watch is one of the best smartwatches available in the market today and taking inspiration from the best is always a good sign. But I just wish it wasn’t an exact replica of the Apple Watch, especially since Xiaomi has released a number of original designs in the past, including the Mi Mix Alpha and the original Mi Mix.

Now that we have established that the Mi Watch design isn’t original, let’s take a closer look at its body. The smartwatch comes with a square touchscreen display protected by sapphire Corning gorilla glass 3. The watch features a 1.78-inch AMOLED curved display with 326 PPI. The back of the watch is made out of ceramic.

There’s 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, you have another microphone hole along with a speaker vent. The Mi Watch features an aluminum alloy body with a matte finish, but it has sharper curves than the Apple Watch. At the bottom, you’ll see the pins for the charging dock and the heart rate monitor.

Coming to the strap, Xiaomi is offering removable straps made out of fluoro rubber which is skin-friendly and anti-allergic. There are multiple color options including white, blue, silver, and black. Note that the strap buckle comes with the MI branding in a metallic black shade.

Xiaomi Mi Watch is the first to use the SD3100 4G chip

Inside, the Xiaomi Mi Watch comes with the Snapdragon Wear 3100 4G chipset featuring four Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1.2GHz. The company is calling it the first wearable with Snapdragon 3100 4G, probably because the Fossil Gen 5 watches with Snapdragon 3100 didn’t have cellular connectivity.

One of the highlights of the Mi Smartwatch is its battery. The watch features one of the biggest batteries ever seen on a smartwatch featuring 570mAh in capacity. In comparison, watches like the 46mm Huawei Watch GT 2, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 (44mm), or even the Apple Watch 5 come with just 455mAh, 340mAh, and 296mAh batteries respectively. The company claims the Mi Watch can last up to 36 hours or up to two days on a single charge.

The Xiaomi smartwatch will be loaded with features such as NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi (n), GPS, an independent vibration motor, and a pretty large speaker. Just like the top-end smartwatches of 2019, the Mi Watch also supports eSIM, which ensures you can connect to the internet via cellular network as well as make and receive calls independently.

Mi Watch is Powered By Google’s WearOS

In a surprise move, Xiaomi is adopting Google’s WearOS platform for its new smartwatch. However, like its smartphones, the WearOS running on the Xiaomi watch will be customized with its own MIUI for Watch skin. The company will offer a number of interesting watch faces for the watch. It also, unsurprisingly, comes integrated with Xiaomi’s own XiaoAI assistant.

Apart from the usual fitness-centric features found on a wearable, Xiaomi smartwatch supports heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen VO2 max sensor, sleep monitoring, and body energy monitoring. In one of the marketing videos, Xiaomi confirmed that the Mi Watch is safe for swimming as well.

Powered by the WearOS platform, the Xiaomi Mi watch comes with its own in-built app store that will offer 40+ optimized apps for the new watch. This includes popular Chinese apps like QQ, WeChat, and Keep (fitness). Thanks to NFC, the Mi Watch can also be used to make payments in China.

The Mi Watch is also capable of connecting to and controlling smart home appliances at your home.

Xiaomi Mi Watch Is Priced Aggressively

The Xiaomi Mi Watch is priced at 1299 yuan ($185 or Rs. 13,116) in China. The watch is up for reservations from 5 PM today (November 5) and will go on sale at 12 AM sharp on November 11th in China.

Just like the Mi CC9 Pro, there’s an exclusive edition that features a sapphire glass display with a polished stainless steel body and a stainless steel strap. The exclusive edition looks a lot more premium than the regular one and will retail for 1999 yuan ($285 or Rs. 20,184). The exclusive edition will go on sale in December 2019.

Xiaomi is expected to go ballistic once again with its product launch as it releases the Mi CC9 Pro, Mi TV 5 and it’s first WearOS-powered smartwatch dubbed Mi Watch. Ahead of the launch event, the price of the Mi Watch has appeared on the website of Xiaomi’s official store on Taobao. Although we couldn’t find the link to the store, the screenshot shared by ITHomes shows the smartwatch will likely retail for 1499 yuan ($213) for 11.11 while the price is 1699 yuan ($241).

The price looks expensive but then, considering the topnotch features that are expected on board, it is reasonable. Besides, the design of the Mi Watch is heavily inspired by the immensely popular Apple Watch which costs twice as much.

In terms of the specs, the Mi Watch comes with a premium build and sturdy hardware. It features a curved sapphire glass which protects the square-shaped touchscreen display and sports a side-mounted crown which can be used to navigate through the UI. It is powered by the Snapdragon 3100 chipset and Adreno 304 GPU. The Mi Watch will support NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 and low power 802.11n Wi-Fi and GPS. You also get e-SIM support in addition to the regulars like a built-in fitness tracker/activity tracker which can be used to track things like sleep, calories burned, different sports activity modes and the number of steps taken. For more details, read our detailed pre-launch post on the Mi Watch from here.

Even though the Mi Watch will be launched tomorrow, the listing shows the smartwatch will be going on sale on November 11 during the 11.11 shopping festival.

Xiaomi is one of the leading brands when it comes to wearable devices, thanks to the company’s Mi Band fitness trackers. Now, the company is all set to launch its first smartwatch — Mi Watch at a launch event on 5th November in China.

As already known from the earlier released render, the Mi Watch comes with square-shaped dial and a single crown on the right side along with a single button. The design looks quite similar to the Apple Watch.

Apart from the Mi Band fitness tracker, it has a line of smartwatches under Amazfit branding but none of them are running Android Wear OS. The upcoming smartwatch will be the first to come with company’s own branding.

Yesterday, Xiaomi officially confirmed that it would release a new smartwatch alongside the Mi CC9 Pro at the November 5 event. Today, Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun has revealed a render of the upcoming Xiaomi Smartwatch and we can’t deny that it takes HEAVY inspiration from the Apple Watch.

The Xiaomi smartwatch will come in two band colors, elegant black, and silver. It features a curved rectangular screen very similar to the Apple Watch series. What’s more, the placement of the crown is also exactly the same as the Apple Watch. Even the power button is placed just as the Apple wearable. There’s no denying that this Xiaomi smartwatch design lacks originality. We would really be disappointed if Xiaomi is marketing its new watch as an Apple Watch clone at a cheaper price tag.

Xiaomi had revealed a couple of days back that its new watch will be a true smartwatch and not just another band. Today, the company revealed more details about its internals and it’s clear that the smartwatch will be loaded with features. The Xiaomi smartwatch will feature a high-performance CPU along with independent GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth modules. There will be an independent linear motor as well as speakers inside. Further, it is said that the battery will be pretty large as well. Finally, the Mi Smartwatch will come with eSIM support, just like the Apple Watch.

So even if the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Smartwatch lacks an original design, it will probably make it up with interesting features. With eSIM support and speakers, the watch should be able to make phone calls and other functions, just like a smartphone.

Well, after seeing Xiaomi’s new smartwatch, the Huami Amazfit GTS doesn’t look like an Apple Watch clone anymore.

Xiaomi has managed to establish its presence in the wearables market thanks to the Mi Band series of fitness tracker. However, the company is moving a step forward and is reportedly all set to launch its first smartwatch in China later this month.

The report coming from China claims that the upcoming smartwatch will be powered by the Xiaomi Wear chipset and will also also come with support for eSIM card, 4G LTE network connectivity, multi-function NFC, and smart voice assistant.

It further adds that the device will be running a customized version of Google’s Android Wear operating system out-of-the-box which could be named “Mi Wear” OS. The report has also revealed an alleged image of the Xiaomi Smartwatch coming this month.

From the design point-of-view, there’s nothing unique in the smartwatch compared to other devices in the market featuring a circular dial. However, do note that it has not been confirmed if this is indeed the upcoming Xiaomi Smartwatch.

In early September, the Chinese company had registered a few trademarks, including “Millennium MIX ALPHA”, “Mi MIX Alpha” and “Mi Watch COLOR”. Since the Mi MIX Alpha smartphone has already been unveiled, the launch of Xiaomi’s Mi Watch COLOR should not be far away.

As mentioned, Xiaomi currently sells wearable devices under its eco-chain companies which includes Huami Technology. Apart from the Mi Band fitness tracker, it has a line of smartwatches under Amazfit branding but none of them are running Android Wear OS. The upcoming smartwatch will be the first to come with company’s own branding.

Previously, Wang had leaked information about the smartwatch having a water resistant covering and that the smartwatch band can be easily replaced with any standard 22mm third-party watch straps, because of its quick release design that means no tool will be required to remove the straps.

Also, like we mentioned earlier, the smartwatch will not bear the Xiaomi or Mi trademark in its name but Huami’s own brand name.

In addition, Huami’s CEO had previously revealed that the person in charge of manufacturing the watch ROM was a former Google employee and was involved in the development of the Android TV, Android Home, Android Auto and other projects but joined Huami last year.

Xiaomi is said to be preparing for the launch of a new product on August 25. While Redmi 4 is one likely launch candidate, it’s now being said that the Xiaomi smartwatch could be announced as well.

This news comes from the Chinese Mobile Phone League Secretary General on Weibo, who revealed that Xiaomi smartwatch will be released this month itself, but the pricing may not be very cheap. We are used to seeing Xiaomi products priced at super affordable figures and maybe, he meant to warn that the price may not be as cheap as we expect.

In case you are wondering, initially, we were expecting Xiaomi’s first watch to be priced under 999 Yuan ($150). However, after this comment, maybe we can higher our expected price tag. Xiaomi is not new to wearables, but this would indeed be its first every smartwatch. Launching a brand new product, especially its first product in the segment is never easy or cheap, so it remains to be cheap whether the upcoming Xiaomi smartwatch is priced aggressively.

Hopefully, we’ll hear about the new watch from the company in the next few days.

Xiaomi Smartwatch has been rumored to be in the works since last year and is said to launch this September. The Smartwatch has also being the subject of numerous leaks and rumors, and it is a highly anticipated gadget.

While we are yet to see what the Xiaomi smartwatch looks like, except in sketched images, we have got an idea of what price the gadget will likely carry when ever Xiaomi finally launches the smartwatch. According to the well-known industry analyst Pan Jiutang, the Xiaomi smartwatch will be priced less than 1000 yuan ($150). Mr Juitang disclosed this via a post on Weibo and went further to add that the smartwatch would clutch a price tag much cheaper than Garmin smartwatches.

The Xiaomi smartwatch is likely to feature a larger display than the Band 2, and focus on a particular function. Smartwatch manufacturers are particularly keen on health-related functions, so we may see the smartwatch boast of such features and more. But, apart from the existence of the device as well as the release timing, and likely price tag, nothing else is known about its specifications. As we draw nearer to the expected release date, more hypes are likely to come out about the smart gadget.

Xiaomi’s new Mi Band 2 wearable just went on sale earlier this month. The band was yet another successful product from the company, featuring a power efficient OLED display and heart rate sensor for a cheap price tag. However, this year, the new Mi Band isn’t the only wearable that’s coming from the company. It’s almost confirmed that there’s a Xiaomi smartwatch in the making and the product should soon be announced, according to an analyst.

While we still haven’t seen the new Xiaomi smartwatch in pictures, today a new sketch of the watch was leaked, which gives us a basic idea about the possible design of the new wearable. According to the image, the Xiaomi smartwatch should come with a regular design similar to other round watches in the market. We can see the Mi logo on the front as well as two buttons on the right side. The watch looks quite thick as well.

One of the interesting things revealed by this sketch is the bar at the bottom of the display. It could be hinting at a Moto 360 like design, which had a black bar on the display, ruining the true round watch experience. We hope that’s not going to be the case here.

As for the release, it is said that the new Xiaomi smartwatch should be announced sometime in September this year. So, there’s still a couple of months for the release, which means more information about the device should be leaked in the coming weeks.

A few days back, Xiaomi released the much anticipated Xiaomi Mi Band 2 in China, costing just 149 Yuan ($22). However, the new generation Mi band is not the only wearable that we will be seeing from the company this year. For the first time, Xiaomi is said to be working on a smartwatch and the device was earlier confirmed to be released sometime in the second half of 2016. The confirmation came directly from the CEO of Huami, the company who is responsible for the manufacturing of the Mi Bands.

Now, the noted analyst, Pan Jiutang from China reveals that the new smartwatch should be released by the company soon. He also says that the power consumption of the new Xiaomi smartwatch should be similar to Garmin’s wearables. Finally, he asked his followers what would be the ideal price tag for the new sports watch from the company and gave two options, 999 Yuan ($152) and 1599 Yuan ($243). Well, considering that he revealed two specific price figures for the new Xiaomi smartwatch, it is speculated that there could be two variants that would be priced at 999 Yuan and 1599 Yuan respectively.

Also, since Huami CEO and now Pan Jiutang confirmed that the Xiaomi smartwatch exists, we now have to wait for an official announcement. Considering that the company’s Mi Band 2 costs $22, the Mi smartwatch at 999 Yuan may be a bit costlier than expected.

What do you think? If the Xiaomi smartwatch looks good and has a decent battery life, would you be ready to shell out around $152 for the wearable?

Along with the Xiaomi Max, we can expect to meet the Xaiomi Mi Band 2 as well as the new MIUI 8 OS at the May 10 event. However, we still haven’t received any official confirmations from the company regarding the existence or the launch of a Mi smartwatch. But that just changed today, as Liu De, the co-founder and Vice President of Xiaomi revealed at a conference in Beijing that the Mi smartwatch does exist and is ready!

He further added that the company will announce the wearable in the second half of 2016, which means sometime after May. It looks like the launch of the smartwatch has been slightly delayed as the CEO of Huami, the company which actually manufacturers the Mi Band had revealed the Mi Band as well as the Mi smartwatch will meet us in Q2 2016. After hearing Liu De’s comment today, it looks like the watch will most likely debut only after a few months.

This is the first time the company has acknowledged the existence of the Mi smartwatch. This comes just after the company released a new smartwatch for kids priced at just 299 Yuan ($46). So, it looks like the company has quite the interest in the wearable industry. Not surprising given that it’s Mi Band wearable is doing so well.

He also revealed that the company currently is not planning to release automobiles, unlike rivals such as LeEco. Instead, it is interested in products catering to the needs of short travel, so we can expect products such as electric bikes and self-balancing walking robots like Ninebot. Finally, he said that the company would focus on establishing offline outlets this year. He also gave a figure, so we can expect around 60 such outlets by the end of the year.

Given that an executive has already confirmed the existence and launch of the Mi smartwatch, we can soon expect more details about the wearable in the coming days. Meanwhile, let’s wait and see what Xiaomi has in store for us for the next Mi Band version on May 10.

Till that time, you can check out the details revealed by Huami CEO, Wang about the two wearables from here.

Xiaomi smartwatch made the headlines last year for quite some time, however, soon, the rumors died down. Till now, we haven’t seen a full-fledged smartwatch from the company. Instead, Xiaomi has focused on its Mi Band wearable which is doing quite well, releasing the new Mi Band 1S model with heart rate sensor on board.

Xiaomi does not personally manufacture these Mi Band wearables, instead, its partner company, Huami takes care of the process. Hence, although, we call it the Xiaomi Mi Band, it’s actually made by Huami. Now, Huami’s CEO Wang has revealed a few details about the second generation model of the Xiaomi Mi Band as well as Xiaomi smartwatch. It looks like, once again, Huami is manufacturing these two devices.

First up, CEO Wang confirmed that both, the Mi Band 2 and the Xiaomi smartwatch will debut in the next two months, within Q2 2016. The major selling point of the new Band version will be the small display on board. So, it looks like the Mi Band 2 will be able to show you a lot more information than its previous generation, reducing reliance on the connected smartphone.

As for the price, the new Band will be slightly costlier than the previous generation model. To recap, the Mi Band 1S with heart rate sensor retails for 99 Yuan (~$16) in China. Another important information revealed by him was that the new version will abandon the “Mi” branding. It will be called as the Band 2, but we are not sure of the exact name.

Now, coming to the most interesting part of the interview, CEO Wang confirmed that Xiaomi smartwatch with a display exists and will meet us in Q2 2016. The watch will feature a larger screen than the Band 2, and focus on a particular function. Smartwatch manufacturers are particularly keen on health-related functions, so we may see the smartwatch boast of such features. But, apart from the existence of the device as well as the release timing, nothing else is confirmed.

Finally, remember the Amazfit smart wearable that we read about back in September, 2015? He confirms that a new generation version of the wearable is also coming, but only in the second half of the year.

So, now that these two devices have been almost confirmed, we hope to see a lot more information about them in the coming days.

Adding a display on the new Band 2 won’t be a bad idea, as long as it provides a decent battery life. The definition of decent differs from one person to another, but personally, I feel a week’s battery life on the new Band with a display would be just great. My Mi Band lasts for around three weeks on a single charge, so I would expect the new version to give me, at least, a week’s life.

So, what do you think? Happy to hear that the new Band 2 comes with a display?

Weibo is often a source of new leaks and rumors. The latest rumor that is going around this Chinese social networking site is about a Xiaomi smartwatch. Earlier today, leaksfly, who is known to leak news about gadgets revealed a few details about a new Xiaomi smartwatch. Of course, Leaksfly hasn’t been accurate all the time, so before you get too excited, take the following news with a pinch of salt.

According to Leaksfly, the new Xiaomi smartwatch will come with Qualcomm S410 chip, with 520MB RAM and 4GB of internal storage. It will have heart rate monitor and other such features traditionally found on a smartwatch. There will be a 1.3-inch screen, but we don’t know whether it will be round watch.

The leak further adds that the Xiaomi smartwatch should release sometime in November this year for 600 Yuan ($96).

It makes sense for Xiaomi to expand its wearable line up this year. We have already seen that Xiaomi was the second largest wearable smartband maker in the world, thanks to its best selling Xiaomi Mi Band. So, a logical upgrade would be to expand this popular lineup with smartwatch this year.

However, we are not quite convinced with the specs posted by Leaksfly. So, like we mentioned above, take this news with a pinch of salt and wait for some concrete information before getting excited.
