New Devices Unveiling

The Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra are confirmed to make their international debut on February 28. Besides these two smartphones, Xiaomi is also hinting at the arrival of additional products during this event. They’ve started to tease the launches of the Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro, along with the Redmi Buds 8 Pro and the Ultrathin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W, which will be available in more regions.

Moreover, Xiaomi is hinting that the international release of the Watch 5 is coming soon. The Watch 5 was first introduced in December, alongside the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra. At present, there’s a single image of the Watch 5 featured on their global event teaser page.

Details About the Watch 5

However, some important information regarding the smartwatch is visible yet not emphasized. The Watch 5 displays various apps like Gemini, Google Maps, Google Wallet, and the Google Play Store. This suggests that the Watch 5 will compete with the Pixel Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch8 (currently priced at $326 on Amazon) by using Wear OS instead of Xiaomi’s own operating system. Recent leaks indicate that the Watch 5 will be priced around €329 (~$390) when it launches in the Eurozone.
