It was last Saturday, February 22, when the president of Xiaomi International Shou Zi Chew has stated quite clearly that Xiaomi Mi Watch would also arrive soon in global version. While we are all waiting for it, we also get another news regarding the brand's first real smartwatch: it Xiaomi Mi Watch Exclusive Edition is about to make its debut. To be more precise, it will start in a few hours. The general manager informs us via Weibo Qu Heng.
Xiaomi Mi Watch Exclusive Edition is ready: today sales in China begin
With a post published on the well-known Chinese social network where everyone is now accustomed, who in a more subtle way than in a clearer way, to announce new products, the general manager Qu Heng confirmed that today February 28 presales of the elite version of the first wearable of Xiaomi.
The differences with the standard version are different and concern only the aesthetic side. In detail, this Exclusive Edition has a stainless steel frame which gives it a more premium look. On the contrary, the Xiaomi Mi Watch standard is made of aluminum alloy and therefore less scratch resistant. Xiaomi Mi Watch Exclusive Edition also has a layer of sapphire crystal covering its entire screen in order to improve its resistance to all types of scratches and small bumps. In the same way as the chassis, also the strap of this model is made of stainless steel and therefore more resistant.
On the software side we know that MIUI for Watch, the customization of the Xiaomi skin tailored to the smartwatch, guarantees autonomy and simplicity in use. Autonomy is undoubtedly supported by the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100.
For the rest, these are the other specifications.
- 1.78 ”326 ppi display AMOLED;
- presence eSIM;
- battery very capacious from 570 mAh which allows up to 36 hours of autonomy (but even more);
- speaker independent;
- linear motor for the vibration upon receipt of notifications;
- form NFC for payments;
- Qualcomm CPU high performance;
- GPS;
- Wi-Fi e Bluetooth
- the algorithm Firstbeat for the analysis of the state of our health;
- dedicated application;
This premium version will begin its presale today, as anticipated, with a price of 1999 yuan, around 260 € at the current exchange rate. Also who will buy it through the usual Chinese channels like Xiaomi Mall or YouPin, will have the opportunity to receive a pair of headphones for free wireless. In short, after a big delay due to technical issues and a shortage of stocks, Xiaomi will certainly be forgiven.
From the 5th of November last I am waiting for the Mi Ware 3100 now called Mi Watch Global to go out on the market ... but can you have a certain release date in Italy?
Hi Salvatore. So, Mi Wear 3100 is the processor on board the device and not the name of the Mi Watch. Unfortunately, there is no date, otherwise we would have said it for some time. Unfortunately, we are not the ones to decide.
