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.

5 best dialer apps and contacts apps for Android

Update: This list currently has Drupe as an entrant. It is a really good contacts and dialer app. However, recent security vulnerabilities are causing a big fuss about the app . The security vulnerabilities are gone now. Thus, we’re reinstating the app to our list with a word of caution to our readers. Hit the link to learn more. Dialer apps and contacts apps are a bit of a niche market. In most cases, the stock dialer and contacts app is more than good enough most of the time. However, there are some cases where it may be necessary. The Note 8 occasionally freezing while using the contacts app is a good example. In any case, there are a bunch of decent options, but only a few really good ones. Also, we considered doing separate lists for contacts apps and dialer apps. However, generally speaking, if you get one, you get the other too. Both lists would pretty much have the same apps. Thus, we’ve consolidated it into a single list here. Here are the best dialer apps and contacts a

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

Credit: OnePlus New teasers of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition hint at the phone’s design. They show a large, horizontally placed rectangular camera housing. There’s also plenty of Cyberpunk branding on the back panel of the phone. OnePlus has announced the launch date and time for the Cyberpunk 2077 themed OnePlus 8T . The phone will be revealed in full on November 2 at 2 PM local time in China (2 AM ET). But that’s not all OnePlus has given us. The company has also posted a teaser image of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition on Weibo , giving us a hint of what to expect from its design. The image shows the back of the phone, but it’s too dark to really tell anything. We popped the photo in an image editor, and after tweaking its brightness and contrast a bit, saw what the back panel design could look like.
