Xiaomi isn’t waiting until D-day to show off its first Mi-branded smartwatch. Company founder and CEO Lei Jun has taken to Chinese social media website Weibo to reveal what ir upcoming smartwatch – likely to be called Mi Watch – will look like. While design may be inspired by Apple Watch, it’s safe to say that Mi Watch is a stunning piece of hardware. 

Mi Watch incoming on vember 5

Mi Watch – or whatever Xiaomi decides to call it – will come in black and silver with what looks like a curved OLED display. render shared by Lei Jun possibly shows off device’s lock screen hinting at an always-on display on this one. On side is a crown and possibly sleep/wake button – much like Apple Watch. re’s also a microphone in middle. 

Speaking of features and connectivity, Mijia which is Xiaomi subsidiary making Mi Watch, has revealed some key aspects in a separate Weibo post. Mi Watch will support e-SIM for cellular connectivity which means that it will be possible to stay connected on it without a tered smartphone. Mi Watch will also support NFC as well as GPS. While hardware isn’t explicitly mentioned, Mi Watch will possibly be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 which also raises possibility that this could be long-rumoured Wear OS-based Xiaomi smartwatch that we’ve been hearing about. 

A reference to a yet to be published Mi Wear app – app doesn’t exist right w – found in Wear OS APK recently raised speculation that Xiaomi may be joining in Wear OS smartwatch bandwagon, with furr investigation revealing that company may call it Mi Watch. furr details are kwn at this point of time, but should Xiaomi be working on such a smartwatch, it could mean good news for Wear OS. Even better if it’s same one that is launching in China on vember 5.     

Xiaomi will also launch its 108MP five-camera phone, aka Mi CC9 Pro, in China on vember 5.
