It's smaller than the original Watch S4, yet it has the same premium feel despite its very low the look of the Watch S4 41mm is reminiscent of Skagen's smartwatches, which are known for their minimalist design. What I found really interesting is that despite the fact that it's made of stainless steel, the Watch S4 41mm weighs just 32g. In comparison, the 40mm Galaxy Watch 6 model, which is made of titanium and plastic, weighs around smartwatch comes in four colors: black, quicksand gold, mint green, and white.

Xiaomi teases smaller Watch S4 41mm and new open-ear headphones for tomorrow's event
Xiaomi launched the Watch S4 late last year and refreshed it last month with an in-house watch chipset, the Xring T1. Now yet another revision is coming – a smaller 41mm model. Dubbed simply the Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm, this model will lean into being a fashion accessory. The pictured version is 'Quicksand Gold' and is paired with a gold Milanese strap. Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm The polyhedron-cut crown is studded with a six-point diamond – it's a lab-grown diamond, but it is an actual diamond. There's no word whether the 'gold' is gold plating or just paint. The teaser images don't reveal much, they only mention 8-day battery life. The original 47mm Watch S4 claimed up to 15 days of battery life, but this smaller timepiece will, of course, have a smaller battery. Thats why we brought up the Xring T1 – the T1 has a 4G modem that is 35% more efficient than the modem inside the original Watch S4 (and it just happens to be Xiaomi's first-ever in-house 4G modem). An efficient chipset is a must-have for a wearable with a small battery. Plus, the Xring T1 has a bit of extra compute power, which enabled several new features (e.g. a live feed when remote-controlling your phone's camera). Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm The company is also teasing the Xiaomi OpenWear Pro. They are tuned by Harman and have the 'world's first open-style five-unit system' – the machine translation is a bit vague on what that is exactly. Anyway, the buds will have an open design, i.e. they let outside sound in, which makes them suitable for wearing in the office or outside, anywhere you need to remain aware of your surroundings. They also don't plug up your ear canal, which makes them more comfortable for longer wear times – the skin-friendly liquid silicone will also improve all-day wear comfort. Xiaomi OpenWear Pro Tune into tomorrow's event, we will be covering the launches of all new devices, including the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2, Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro, new smart glasses and anything else that Lei Jun and company have in store for us.

New Xiaomi Watch S4 version uses custom Xring T1 chipset - with Xiaomi's first 4G modem
Lei Jun always has something up his sleeve – Xiaomi announced a new version of the Watch S4 and the bold 'XRING INSIDE' should tell you what's new. This model is called the Xiaomi Watch S4 '15th Anniversary Edition' to celebrate the company's 15th birthday. Xiaomi Watch S4 15th anniversary edition Interestingly, it is powered by an in-house chip called the Xring T1. By far the most interesting part about this chip – this whole watch, in fact – is that the T1 has a 4G LTE modem that was developed by Xiaomi itself. Xiaomi Watch S4 15th Anniversary Edition with Xring T1 Xiaomi claims that it is 35% more efficient than the 4G modem inside the original S4 watch. The new Watch S4 can last up to 9 days with network connectivity (two days longer than the old S4), apparently, and up to 4 days with heavy usage. If you keep the watch connected to your phone, you can get up to 15 days with raise-to-wake or up to 5 days with always-on display. Xiaomi getting into the modem business is potentially a big deal – admittedly, 4G is easier than 5G, but it's a start. The body is made of stainless steel like on the regular S4, but the eSIM model also boasts a forged carbon bezel and a Dragon Glass lens (the original uses regular glass). Other than that, you're still getting a 1.43' 466 x 466px display with 1,500 nits peak global brightness. The new chipset enables an interesting new feature – when controlling the phone's camera remotely, it shows live feed from the camera. It also supports animated wallpaper. Since Xiaomi is also unveiling its first SUV today, it didn't forget about cars – the watch can remotely unlock Xiaomi cars and even open and close the trunk. Source
