Introducing the Xiaomi Watch S3 with Interchangeable Bezels and HyperOS
by Guest Editor
Take a journey back to the days when Nokia phones had interchangeable faceplates and reimagine it on a whole new level with the Xiaomi Watch S3. Revealed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, this smartwatch puts a modern twist on personalization. Not only can you remove and replace the bezel around the screen, but the watch face will automatically complement the new look. In addition, you can easily match the smartwatch with new strap colors such as Chrome Yellow, Rainbow, Dual-tone Ceramic, and Ocean Blue. Xiaomi has truly revolutionized the ability to change the entire look of a watch with this innovative feature. The aluminum case comes in black or silver, allowing you to select the perfect style when purchasing the Xiaomi Watch S3. With over 180 free watch faces already available and the option to purchase more from Xiaomi’s app store, the style possibilities are endless.
Unveiling HyperOS
The Xiaomi Watch S3 breakthrough goes beyond its interchangeable bezel feature. Unlike its predecessor, the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, which operates on Google’s Wear OS, the Watch S3 introduces Xiaomi’s new HyperOS software. Announced in 2023 to replace Xiaomi’s old MIUI software, HyperOS, built on Xiaomi’s Vela system and Linux, combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. Powered by Android, it’s important to note that similar to Huawei’s HarmonyOS, HyperOS will extend its reach to Xiaomi’s smartphones and smart ecosystem products, even cars.
A Next-Level Control Method
HyperOS introduces a new and intuitive method of control that takes advantage of unique wrist gestures. A simple flick or twist of your wrist is all it takes to perform an array of functions, including accepting or rejecting calls, taking photos, or even checking the weather. Coupled with the 486mAh battery, the Xiaomi Watch S3 promises up to 15 days of battery life on a single charge. Currently, the charging time has not been disclosed, but you can expect convenience and reliability in powering up your smartwatch.
Sleek Design and Impressive Features
The Xiaomi Watch S3 offers an elegant 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with a sharp 466 x 466 pixel resolution. With a sleek 47mm case and a 5ATM water resistance rating, it can handle your active lifestyle. Equipped with a heart rate sensor, blood oxygen monitor, sleep tracker, 150 sports modes, and GPS capabilities, this smartwatch is designed to keep up with your fitness goals. Compatible with both Android and iOS devices, it even supports Bluetooth calling.
As Xiaomi has not released price details at this time, it’s uncertain where the Xiaomi Watch S3 will stand in its lineup. Nevertheless, it will undoubtedly need to compete against an array of impressive smartwatches already on the market. With its stylish interchangeable bezel, feature-rich HyperOS software, and superior performance, the Xiaomi Watch S3 is poised to leave a lasting impression.
