Xiaomi "Watch 3 Pro" Leak Reveals Premium Design and Blazing-Fast Charging
By Tech Pulse Daily | Updated 10:00 AM EST
Rumors about Xiaomi’s next-generation smartwatch have reached a fever pitch this week after leaked images and specifications of the Xiaomi Watch 3 Pro surfaced online, hinting at a sleek design, premium materials, and a groundbreaking fast-charging system. The leaks, shared via Chinese social media platform Weibo (see post here), suggest Xiaomi is aiming to compete head-to-head with flagship wearables from Apple, Samsung, and Huawei.
A Fusion of Style and Substance
The images, reportedly from a factory prototype, showcase a circular stainless steel chassis with a polished bezel and a refined leather strap option. The display appears larger than its predecessor, the Watch 2 Pro (launched in 2023), with slimmer borders and a brighter AMOLED panel. Insiders claim Xiaomi has prioritized scratch resistance, possibly using sapphire glass for the screen—a premium feature typically reserved for high-end watches.
Fast Charging Steals the Spotlight
The most eye-catching detail, however, is the rumored 10-minute charge for a full day’s use, thanks to Xiaomi’s proprietary HyperCharge technology. If accurate, this would put the Watch 3 Pro ahead of competitors like the Apple Watch Series 9, which requires roughly 1.5 hours for a full charge. Sources close to Xiaomi’s supply chain suggest the watch could achieve a 0-100% charge in under 30 minutes, a significant leap from the Watch 2 Pro’s 60-minute charging time.
Software and Health Upgrades
The Watch 3 Pro is expected to run Xiaomi’s revamped Mi Wear OS, offering deeper integration with Android and iOS ecosystems. Leaked screenshots hint at advanced health metrics, including blood glucose trend analysis (non-invasive) and improved sleep apnea detection. Fitness enthusiasts may also appreciate new dual-frequency GPS support for more accurate outdoor activity tracking.
Pricing and Availability
While Xiaomi has yet to confirm the leaks, industry analysts speculate a price tag of 349–349–399, positioning it as a premium but affordable alternative to the $799 Apple Watch Ultra. The Watch 3 Pro could debut alongside Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 15 series in late 2024, with global availability following in early 2025.
For now, the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro remains a solid option for budget-conscious buyers (available on Amazon), but the Watch 3 Pro’s potential specs suggest Xiaomi is ready to disrupt the high-end wearable market.
Competitive Landscape
Xiaomi’s aggressive push into premium tech comes as rivals like OnePlus also refine their strategies. Earlier this month, OnePlus confirmed extended software support for its devices, including the upcoming OnePlus 13 (details here), signaling a broader industry shift toward longevity and sustainability.
Stay tuned for official updates as Xiaomi’s launch event approaches.
