More and more brands are getting on the market w. Between smartband and smartwatch you can see all the colors but those that offer really premium products are few. Today we see two really noteworthy smartwatches of two companies that, if we want, we can define rivals in all: Xiaomi with its We Watch and Oppo with his first Oppo watch. Similar in idea but profoundly different in reality. Let's see the details.
Comparison: Xiaomi Mi Watch vs Oppo Watch
Measurements, weight and design
Xiaomi Mi Watch:
- standard: display from 1.78", body 44.69 x 36.92 x 12.28 mm, weight of 44 g, resolution 368 448 pixels x
- premium: same as the standard version except the weight of 56 g;
Oppo watch:
- steel: display from 1.91", body 46 X 39 X 11.35 mm, weight of 45.5 g, resolution 402 476 pixels x
- 46 mm: same as the steel version except the weight of 40 g;
- 41 mm: display from 1.6", body 41.45 X 36.37 X 11.4mm, weight of 29.7 g, resolution 320 x 360 pixel
Definitely Xiaomi Mi Watch is smaller but heavier than Oppo Watch, even if the difference is really minimal, a trifle if we want. Both present the dial of the same shape even if that of Oppo has more curved edges in steel and 46 mm models: Mi Watch and Oppo Watch from 41 mm look alike, given the less rounded edges.
The substantial difference is in the straps: while the smartwatches by Oppo 41 and 46 mm have a non-interchangeable strap, the steel model of the brand is similar to that of Xiaomi given the possibility of detaching it.
The last difference between the brand devices is the crown: Oppo does not have any type of crown on any side, while Mi Watch has the crown on the top right like Apple Watch.
Operating system and processor
Xiaomi Mi Watch
- processor Snapdragon Wear 3100 with interface MIUI for Watch;
Oppo watch
- processor Snapdragon Wear 2500 + Apollo 3 co-processor with interface Color OS Watch.
The smartwatch of Xiaomi certainly has a more powerful processor but this in influences the autonomy of the device. In fact, unlike Oppo Watch, it does not have a co-processor which helps to limit battery consumption. On the other side the Oppo smartwatch, thanks to the Apollo 3, it allows a more prolonged use. It must be said that the Snapdragon Wear 2500 is a processor that Xiaomi has used for one smartwatch dedicated to children.
Battery and autonomy
Xiaomi Mi Watch
- standard: 570 mAh with magnetic refill that allow up to 36 h autonomy (we actually saw that it reaches almost double);
- premium: 590mAh same type of recharge;
Oppo watch
- steel: 430 mAh with magnetic refill that allow up to 40 h autonomy;
- 46 mm: same as the standard version;
- 41 mm: 300mAh with magnetic refill that allow up to 20 h autonomy;
Although we have no proof, on paper Oppo Watch allows it to be used longer: with less quantity of mAh in fact, you can use it for one half a day more. This at least applies to steel and 46mm models. Obviously the smallest arrives at only 20 h of autonomy having a less capacious battery.
Features
Here there is poco to say: all models they are equipped with NFC ,GPS, eSIM, monitoring of the heartbeat, analysis of the state of our health, Bluetooth 4.2, 4G, sleep monitoring, reminder for sedentary lifestyle. The only difference is that theOppo watch, from what is written on the data sheet, is the only one to have the calendar for the menstrual cycle.
Pricing
Xiaomi Mi Watch
- standard: 1.299 yuan, approx 160 € at the current exchange rate;
- premium: 1.999 yuan, approx 260 € at the current exchange rate;
Oppo watch
- steel: 2.499 yuan, approx 330 € at the current exchange rate;
- 46 mm: 1.999 yuan, approx 260 € at the current exchange rate;
- 41 mm: 1.499 yuan, approx 190 € at the current exchange rate
In terms of costs the prices of the Oppo Watch are slightly higher. We would need to know how much their price will be when they arrive in the global market, but unfortunately for both we have no official news.
Thanks to this comparison between Xiaomi Mi Watch and Oppo Watch you will be able to decide which one to buy when they come to us.
No crown is a no go for small screen watch.
