The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5 wearable platform, built on a 4nm process with a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU. The Watch 5 features a round dial, sapphire glass rated 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, and a one-piece stainless-steel body, with strap options in stainless steel, brown, and green. It is said to be Xiaomi's first smartwatch to include an EMG sensor, joining the existing ECG sensor, the company confirmed in a Weibo post.
