Xiaomi’s Upcoming Smartwatch to Support Snapdragon Wear 3100

Excitement about Chinese smart devices maker Xiaomi is rising as the day of its first smartwatch launch draws closer and additional photos and specs are leaked online.

Li Xiaoshuang, General Manager of Xiaomi TV, posted on Chinese micro-blogging platform Weibo a picture of the upcoming Xiaomi Smartwatch to be launched on November 5, along with the company’s recently announced Xiaomi CC 9 Pro flagship.
