Among the product launches, Xiaomi also unveiled the Xiaomi Watch 5, its latest flagship smartwatch powered by the newest version of Wear OS, specifically Wear OS 6. Notably, Xiaomi Watch 5 is the first Xiaomi smartwatch to ship with Google Gemini pre-installed, and here's everything you need to know about the smartwatch.
Advanced Gesture Controls and Cross-Device Connectivity
Interaction on the Xiaomi Watch 5 is enhanced through advanced quick gestures powered by EMG, IMU, and PPG sensors. The system supports two general gestures, Pinch Twice and Rub Twice, along with three customizable gestures, Snap Fingers, Shake Wrist, and Rotate Wrist.
These gestures allow users to dismiss calls, silence alarms, start workouts, control a connected phone camera for photos and recordings, or access compatible Google apps, including Google Gemini, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music. The result is a smoother and more hands-free daily experience. Seamless cross-device control is enabled by Xiaomi HyperConnect, allowing remote camera access and connected-device management through Xiaomi Smart Hub, further strengthening integration within Xiaomi’s ecosystem.
Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and Up to 18 Days Battery Life
The Xiaomi Watch 5 is powered by the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 alongside a BES2800 low-power co-processor, forming a dual-chip architecture designed for performance and efficiency. A 930mAh battery featuring 10% Silicon-Carbon content is enhanced by Xiaomi Surge Battery technology. Xiaomi claims the smartwatch delivers up to six days of battery life in smart mode and up to 18 days in power saver mode, catering to users who require extended daily usage without frequent charging.
Premium Build with Comprehensive Health Tracking
Encased in a stainless-steel frame, the Xiaomi Watch 5 features a 1.54-inch display with ultra-thin bezels. Sapphire glass protects both the front and back for improved durability and a more premium finish.
Health and fitness features include one-tap health checks, advanced training insights, and precise outdoor tracking with dual-band GNSS support for offline maps. These capabilities position the watch as a comprehensive companion for both daily wellness tracking and more intensive outdoor activities.
