Alongside the new smartphones, Xiaomi announced a selection of other products for the local market. Among these are the Watch S5, Smart Band 10 Pro, and the Buds 6. If any of these names sound familiar to you, that’s because these devices have previously debuted on the brand’s home turf.
Watch S5
Available in a single 46mm size, the smartwatch packs advanced sports and health monitoring into a slim design measuring 10.99mm. The 46g wearable sports a 1.48-inch AMOLED display with a 480 x 480 pixel resolution and a peak brightness of 2,500 nits. Furthermore, the watch gets a 5 ATM water resistance rating.
Internally, Xiaomi has equipped the device with an 815mAh battery. According to the brand, this cell offers up to 21 days of light use.

For sleep tracking, the device offers HRV monitoring, as well as new weekly and monthly reports for more comprehensive insights.
Meanwhile, an improved dual-band, five-system GNSS assures precise location tracking during outdoor activities. Speaking of which, the watch supports over 150 sports modes and introduces a Passion Mode. This feature detects cheering gestures and converts them into data like heart rate, calories burned, and cheer counts.
