Xiaomi’s Newest Budget Smartwatch is Crazy Affordable
If you’re after a relatively new and affordable wearable device that does a lot of things (except break the bank), then you might want to check out Xiaomi’s Redmi Watch 5 Lite, a new model which expands Xiaomi’s lineup of smart watches and fitness trackers. The wearable was teased not too long ago, and comes in priced at just around $50.
In terms of hardware and software, the Redmi Watch 5 Lite comes with an array of specifications that we’ve seen on other similarly-priced wearable devices. This includes a 1.96-inch AMOLED touch screen with 600 nits of brightness, 5ATM water resistance, and even built-in GPS which is surprising given the device’s pricing segment. There’s also support for always-on display capabilities, as well as more than 200 watch faces.
For software, there’s HyperOS onboard, although functionality might be a bit more limited compared to something like a Wear OS-powered device. It will be able to work with smartphones running Android 6 (or iOS 12) and newer. Other details include built-in support for Alexa, and up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge. Of course also present are health and fitness features, including more than 150 sports modes, as well as heart rate and sleep tracking.
