Looks like Xiaomi’s budget smartwatch is all set to step out of China

Xiaomi Mi Watch Color Revolve

Xiaomi could soon launch the Mi Band 5 and Mi Band Revolve in India.
The two wearables might be targeted at the budget fitness tracker segment.

Xiaomi could soon launch two new wearables in India. According to 91Mobiles (via tipster Ishan Agarwal), the company is all set to launch the Mi Watch Revolve and Mi Band 5 in the country.

When (and if) it launches, the Mi Watch Revolve will be Xiaomi’s first smartwatch in India. It’s believed to be a rebranded Mi Watch Color that’s already out in China. The smartwatch was also previously spotted in the Mi Watch App with the same design as its Chinese counterpart.

The rounded Mi Watch Color is a cheaper alternative to Xiaomi’s Apple Watch lookalike — the Mi Watch. It’s also more akin to a fitness watch than a full-featured smartwatch in that it doesn’t make/receive phone calls or support third-party apps. It does, however, get a host of fitness tracking features and boasts 14-day battery life. It also features an AMOLED display, NFC (at least in China), 5ATM water resistance, and Bluetooth 5.0.

As for the Mi Band 5, we’ve already seen the fitness tracker launch globally. We don’t expect any changes to its specs when it comes to India, except for the removal of NFC, SpO2 tracking, and a voice assistant. Xiaomi doesn’t offer these features in the global variant of the fitness band, so it won’t be wrong to assume that the India model also lacks them. However, Xiaomi launched the Mi Pay digital payments platform in India last year, so there is a reason for it add NFC to the Indian model of the Mi Band 5.

Mi Watch Revolve and Mi Band 5 India price

According to 91Mobiles, the Mi Watch Revolve will be available in Chrome Silver and Midnight Black colorways in India. Xiaomi launched the Mi Watch Color in China for 799 yuan (~$112). However, its price has since dropped to 599 yuan (~$84). If the Mi Watch Revolve is indeed a rebranded Mi Watch Color, customers in India can expect to pay around Rs 6,500 for it.

The Mi Band 5 retails for 189 yuan (~$27) in China, but Xiaomi pricing in India tends to be a little higher than in its home market. So expect an Indian price slightly higher than a direct currency conversion of Rs 2,026 would suggest.

There’s no word on an exact release date for the two wearables. We’ll update this article when we know more.

Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger: Power and versatility

Gallium Nitride chargers are the single biggest innovation to come to the relatively staid world of charging bricks. The size advantage can’t be overstated. Combined with USB-C, it makes using a single charger for all your devices a very realistic solution. Aukey is just one of the brands to have dived headfirst into the world of GaN chargers with a wide portfolio of products. In fact, I reviewed the company’s 100W charger recently. However, with charging sockets at a premium, the single port charger wasn’t quite cutting it for me. Now, I’ve been testing the Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger for the last few weeks. It aims to solve just that problem. How well does it perform? We find out in the Android Authority review of the Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger. Aukey 65W PD GaN charger: What is it?

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look.

I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will...
