The upcoming Xiaomi Watch 5 has reportedly surfaced in fresh leaks revealing its expected pricing for European markets. According to retail listings and tipster reports, the smartwatch could arrive with a competitive price tag aimed at strengthening Xiaomi’s position in the mid-to-premium wearable segment. The leak comes just weeks before the company is anticipated to unveil the device globally.
Early reports suggest the Xiaomi Watch 5 may be priced in the range of approximately €199 to €229 in Europe, depending on the variant and strap options. While Xiaomi has yet to officially confirm the pricing, the leaked figures hint at an aggressive strategy designed to rival offerings from Samsung, Huawei, and Amazfit.
Expected Specifications and Design Upgrades
Although Xiaomi has not revealed full specifications, industry insiders suggest that the Watch 5 could feature a refined circular AMOLED display with thinner bezels and enhanced brightness levels. The smartwatch is also expected to support an always-on display mode, improved UI animations, and smoother navigation.
Performance upgrades may include a new-generation chipset for faster responsiveness and better power efficiency. Xiaomi is also likely to enhance the watch’s health tracking capabilities, building on features such as heart rate monitoring, SpO₂ tracking, sleep analysis, and stress monitoring. Advanced workout tracking modes and improved GPS accuracy are also anticipated.
Battery Life and Software Improvements
Battery life has traditionally been a strong selling point for Xiaomi wearables. The Watch 5 is rumored to offer multi-day battery endurance on a single charge, even with typical usage involving notifications, fitness tracking, and Bluetooth connectivity.
On the software side, the smartwatch may run an updated version of Xiaomi’s proprietary wearable operating system, potentially with expanded third-party app support and improved cross-device integration within the Xiaomi ecosystem. Seamless pairing with Xiaomi smartphones and smart home devices is expected to be a key highlight.
Competition in the European Market
At the leaked price range, the Xiaomi Watch 5 would compete directly with devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE, Huawei Watch GT series, and Amazfit GTR models. Xiaomi’s pricing strategy appears to focus on offering flagship-like features at a more accessible cost.
If the European pricing leak proves accurate, the Watch 5 could attract consumers seeking a premium design and comprehensive health features without paying flagship smartwatch prices.
Global Launch Timeline
While Xiaomi has not announced an official launch date, industry watchers expect the Xiaomi Watch 5 to debut at an upcoming global event, potentially alongside other ecosystem products. More details regarding availability in Asia and other regions should emerge in the coming weeks.
