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.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi getting into the modem business is potentially a big deal \u2013 admittedly, 4G is easier than 5G, but it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747934770_84_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"New Xiaomi Watch S4 version uses custom Xring T1 chipset - with Xiaomi's first 4G modem\"\/><\/p>\n<p>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).
