Xiaomi Expands Its Ecosystem: Introducing Watch S5, Smart Band 10 Pro, Buds 6, and Sound Play
Xiaomi has announced a new expansion of its device ecosystem with the simultaneous launch of four products in the wearable and audio categories: Xiaomi Watch S5 46mm, Smart Band 10 Pro, Buds 6, and Sound Play. At the same time, the company also introduced a new aesthetic line called Violet Collection, characterized by a dark purple finish and a design focused on enhancing materials and light plays.
The brand's strategy continues to focus on integration between devices and services through the HyperOS 3 ecosystem, with an increasing emphasis on continuity of use between smartphones, wearables, and smart home devices.
Watch S5 46mm: Design and Advanced Sensors
The new Xiaomi Watch S5 46mm emphasizes a premium design with a 46 mm case, a thickness of 10.99 mm, and a weight of 46 grams. The stainless steel frame and variants in ceramic and forged carbon are accompanied by straps made from different materials, including natural leather.
The 1.48-inch AMOLED display reaches up to 2,500 nits of peak brightness, while the 815 mAh battery promises up to 21 days of autonomy in light usage scenarios.
Functionally, the smartwatch integrates over 150 sports modes, a 4 LED + 4 PD heart rate sensor with a claimed accuracy of up to 98.4%, and a multi-band GNSS system for outdoor tracking. One of the news is the so-called 'Passion Mode', which transforms sports cheering gestures into metrics such as heart rate, calories, and number of cheers.
Sleep monitoring has been enhanced with HRV analysis and periodic reporting, developed with the contribution of international sleep sector bodies. Integration with HyperOS 3 allows remote control of smartphones, earbuds, and smart home devices.
Smart Band 10 Pro: Bigger Display and New Algorithms
The Smart Band 10 Pro introduces a 1.74-inch AMOLED display with brightness up to 2,000 nits, while maintaining a slim body of 9.7 mm and a weight of 21.6 grams.
The device uses an updated PPG module and proprietary algorithms for heart rate monitoring with a claimed accuracy of 98.2%. There are over 150 sports modes, including features dedicated to track running and cycling.
Sleep monitoring has also been improved with more detailed metrics such as HRV and sleep efficiency, along with an updated sleep phase detection algorithm. Among the software innovations is also the collaboration with Clue for women's health management, featuring advanced menstrual cycle monitoring and integration with predictive analysis and biometric data.
Buds 6: High-Resolution Audio and Advanced ANC
The new Buds 6 introduce 11 mm dynamic drivers with a triple magnet structure and a 24K gold-plated diaphragm to improve high-frequency response.
The audio section is optimized with Harman tuning and support for Qualcomm aptX Lossless, aiming for high-fidelity playback. It also features spatial audio with head tracking and adaptive frequency management based on ear shape.
On the communications front, a three-microphone system with AI noise reduction promises up to 95 dB isolation from ambient noise and wind management up to 12 m/s. The active noise cancellation offers multiple selectable modes.
Integration with HyperOS allows quick transitions between Xiaomi devices, while compatibility with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub is introduced for earbud tracking.
Sound Play: Portable Speaker with Dynamic Lighting
The new Sound Play is a portable speaker with 18 W power, featuring a fabric design and integrated ambient lighting. The light system includes infinite mirror effects and three dynamic modes: Drumbeat, Water Ripple, and Always-on.
The TWS function allows stereo pairing of two units, while the party mode based on Auracast enables synchronization of up to 100 compatible speakers.
The device is certified IP68, offering dust and water resistance, and integrates a 2,600 mAh battery with autonomy of up to 14 hours and full recharge in about 2.5 hours.
