Xiaomi is preparing to launch another new smartwatch, according to prolific leaker Digital Chat Station. If that were the case, it could debut with a significant update that could help address one of the category’s biggest historical drawbacks.
The eminent informant claims that the next Xiaomi Watch will carry a battery with a capacity of no less than 586 mAh: more than that of the 2 and 2 Pro, not to mention the more niche S3 (now available on Amazon) and H1.
It could also have a round OLED and support standalone connectivity, although no particularly advanced health tracking features have been mentioned so far.
However, this new wearable could be equipped to put rivals like the OnePlus Watch 2 directly in its sights upon its launch, especially if it actually has a fast 10W charging battery.
On the other hand, it seems that it will not have the demanded Wear OS 4 to match; Instead, Xiaomi apparently plans to install the in-house Surge OS software instead.
