Xiaomi fans are probably familiar with the company\u2019s latest wearable device, the Watch S4<\/a>, which was introduced in China last year. Earlier this week, Xiaomi launched a more compact version of the Watch S4, which not only features a more compact, stylish design, but also a brand-new chipset.<\/p>\n

Debuted along with the Xiaomi Watch S4 \u201c15th Anniversary Edition\u201d in May, the company\u2019s first-ever chipset developed in-house, Xring T1, is also packed inside the newly announced Watch S4 41mm<\/a>, a more compact version of the original.<\/p>\n

Launching its first chipset was a big deal for Xiaomi, especially in a market that faces numerous challenges like material shortages, increased demand for AI computing power, as well as trade restrictions. <\/p>\n

Design-wise, the Watch S4 41mm is one of the most stylish compact smartwatches launched by Xiaomi<\/a>. It\u2019s smaller than the original Watch S4, yet it has the same premium feel despite its very low price.<\/p>\n

Overall, the look of the Watch S4 41mm is reminiscent of Skagen\u2019s smartwatches, which are known for their minimalist design. What I found really interesting is that despite the fact that it\u2019s made of stainless steel, the Watch S4 41mm weighs just 32g. In comparison, the 40mm Galaxy Watch 6<\/a> model, which is made of titanium and plastic, weighs around 28g.The smartwatch comes in four colors: black, quicksand gold, mint green, and white. The gold model specifically features a Milanese strap and a crown set with six-point cultured diamonds, which gives the smartwatch an impossibly stylish look.<\/p>\n

Moving on to the actual specs, Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm sports a smaller 1.32-inch AMOLED display with 60 Hz refresh rate and 466 x 466 pixels resolution. According to Xiaomi, its Xring T1 chip is 35 percent more efficient than the chipset powering the original Watch S4. <\/p>\n

As per the company\u2019s statement, the newly announced Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm will be able to provide up to 8 days of battery life with network connectivity enabled. In comparison, the original Watch S4 only offers about 6 days of battery life.<\/p>\n

On the downside, users will only get about 3 days of battery life with always-on display. For those who want even more juice from their smartwatch, the Watch S4 can last up to 15 days when connected to a phone (raise-to-wake enabled).<\/p>\n

Price and availability
As far as the price goes, the Watch S4 41mm is incredibly cheap. Unfortunately, it\u2019s only available in China at the moment, but it\u2019s just a matter of time before Xiaomi brings it to international markets like it did with the original model.<\/p>\n

Depending on the strap, Xiaomi Watch S4 41m might cost less than $150 or slightly more than $200. Anyway, here are the prices only valid for China:<\/p>\n
