Xiaomi planning on releasing a smartwatch of its own

Xiaomi, is looking to respond to the Apple Watch with a smartwatch of its own. Also known as ‘China’s Apple’, the Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer is reportedly gearing up to take on Apple in a new product category.

As per the rumors, the Xiaomi smartwatch is expected to feature a round dial and a brushed metal design. It is also said to offer pulse wave velocity identification which will permit users to verify their identity using their own individual pulse waves. Xiaomi is known to manufacture devices with a low-price tag therefore the Xiaomi smartwatch is expected to bear a relatively affordable price point.

Although other details are yet to surface, Xiaomi is also said to be working on a sequel to its Mi Band fitness tracker. One should expect to see a new NFC sensor embedded in the wearable alongside an accelerometer.
