- The two products could be launched in the coming weeks.
Xiaomi is all set to launch new products in the country and this time around the company is planning on bringing not one, but two new devices. As per reports, the company is planning to launch Mi Watch Revolve and Mi Band 5 in India soon.
As for the products, the Mi Watch Revolve is expected to be a rebranded model of the Mi Watch Color that was launched in China earlier. The Mi Band 5 was also unveiled in China earlier in the year and is now said to be launched in India. The news about the launch of the two products in India comes courtesy of noted tipster, Ishan Agarwal, who has leaked this information in partnership with 91Mobiles.
Of the two products, it's definitely the Mi Watch Revolve that's more interesting. If it's the same watch as the one being sold in China, then we expect very little change in terms of the specs. The Mi Watch Color also shares most of the functionalities with Xiaomi's original Mi Watch that debuted last year. It can record a host of fitness functions such as steps, heart rate and calories. It also seems to be running on MIUI for Watch which is based on the Google Wear OS platform. The watch gets a 1.39-inch AMOLED display and it can you choose from 110 watch faces. Xiaomi says it can be water-resistant up to 50 meters depth.
In China, the Watch Color costs just CNY 799 which is around Rs 8,000 in India. In terms of sensors, there's a heart-rate monitor, sleep tracker, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, compass, barometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, and ambient light sensor. It is also rated to last up to 14-days with a 420mAh battery.
The Mi Watch Color also focuses more on being fashionable than functionality. The watch gives the option to choose from three different colours for the dial and multiple straps. There is no word on when the device will come to India, but whenever it does, we expect it to give the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and the Huawei Watch GT 2 a good run for its money.
