The Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be unveiled on December 25, and it will be joined by the Xiaomi Watch 5. This new wearable will be Xiaomi’s highest-end yet, featuring a stainless steel case and a sapphire crystal on top of its screen – both standard materials for high-end analog watches.
The Xiaomi Watch 5 will feature an EMG (electromyography) sensor, which is used to detect electrical signals produced by your muscles. This could be used to enable gesture navigation – like flicking your wrist or tapping your fingers in the air, that sort of stuff. EMG could also be used to analyze muscle fatigue.
The Xiaomi Watch 5 will be powered by the Snapdragon W5 chipset, and will run HyperOS, though it’s unclear if that will be a skin on top of Google’s Wear OS or a proprietary version. The watch will be offered with three strap styles: leather, steel, and rubber/silicone.
An international launch isn’t a given for the Watch 5, but if it does happen, expect it to take place when the Xiaomi 17 Ultra also escapes China.
