Xiaomi is one of the leading smartphone brands in the world, but it is not very well-known for its smartwatches. However, that may change soon, as the company seems to have its new smartwatch ready. We are talking about Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, a new model that we will see shortly on the market and of which we already know some details thanks to its passage through the IMEI database.
What is Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro?
Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is the upcoming smartwatch from Xiaomi, which will be the successor of the Mi Watch, the company’s first-ever smartwatch that was launched in November 2019. The new model has been certified by the unit that manages the IMEI codes, revealing its model number, M2233W1.
What are the features of Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro?
One of the most interesting features of Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is that it will have eSIM support. This means that it will be compatible with mobile networks and will allow users to make calls and access certain network applications without the need to have a connected smartphone. This will make the smartwatch more independent and convenient for users who want to stay connected on the go.
Another feature that Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro may have is WearOS as an operating system. This is the platform developed by Google for smartwatches, which offers a wide range of applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Maps, Google Assistant, and more. WearOS also supports Google Play services, which means that users can download and install apps from the Google Play Store on their smartwatch.
If Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro runs on WearOS, it will be a significant improvement over the Mi Watch, which used a custom version of Android called MIUI for Watch. Although MIUI for Watch had some advantages such as better battery life and compatibility with Xiaomi’s ecosystem, it also had some limitations such as lack of app support and language options.
When will Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro be launched?
The launch date of Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is not yet known, but we can expect it to be released soon, probably in the last quarter of the year. The certification by the IMEI database suggests that the device is ready for production and distribution. Moreover, Xiaomi usually launches its products in China first, followed by other markets such as India and Europe.
How much will Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro cost?
The price of Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is also not yet revealed, but we can assume that it will be higher than the Mi Watch, which was priced at CNY 1,299 (about $200) in China and INR 13,999 (about $190) in India. The eSIM support and WearOS features may increase the cost of the device. However, Xiaomi is known for offering affordable products with high-quality specifications, so we can hope that Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro will be competitively priced.
We hope this blog post has helped you to get all the information about Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, a smartwatch with eSIM and probably WearOS. We are excited to see this new device from Xiaomi and how it will perform in the market. For more updates on Xiaomi and other tech news, stay tuned with us. Thank you for reading.
