Xiaomi’s 12 series phones are official but they weren’t the only new gadgets announced on stage. We got a new Xiaomi Watch S1 smartwatch as well as all-new Xiaomi TWS Earphones 3. Watch S1 is Xiaomi’s most premium watch to date with its stainless steel construction, sapphire glass-protected 1,43-inch AMOLED display and third-party app support.
It can track over 117 sports modes and is
also 5ATM waterproof. There’s an onboard NFC module for payments as well as a
microphone and speaker for calls via your paired phone. There are heart rate
sensors and blood oxygen sensors as well as sleep tracking. You also get an
on-board GNSS positioning. Watch S1 comes with a 470mAh battery which Xiaomi
claims should last you up to 12 days with mixed usage.
Xiaomi Watch S1 starts at CNY 1,049 (US$ 165)
for the rubber wristband version and CNY 1,199 (US$ 175) if you want the leather
strap models. Xiaomi TWS Earphones 3 bring ANC which should cancel out up to
40dB noise around you. They utilize a triple mic system and also come with
transparency mode which lets in some outside noise when you need to talk to
someone next to you.
Xiaomi claims up to 7-hours on a single
charge with ANC off and 30 hours with the charging case. The case can be
charged via USB-C or wirelessly via any compatible Qi charger. The buds are
IP55 dust and waterproof. Xiaomi TWS Earphones 3 are priced at CNY 449 (US$ 70).
