Xiaomi has quietly confirmed that it will be releasing a new luxury smartwatch globally. Now listed on its global website, the Xiaomi Watch S5 combines a massive battery with a 2,500 nit AMOLED display within a 46 mm body.

Xiaomi has quietly listed the Watch S5 outside China. Signalling that a global release is due, the global website listing has also confirmed all key hardware specifications for the international version of the Watch S5. For instance, the Watch S5 will be available globally in Black, Ceramic Blue, Jungle Green and Silver finishes.

A more premium alternative to something like the Smart Band 10 or the Smart Band 9 Pro (curr. $89 on Amazon), the international Watch S5 retains an 815 mAh battery from its Chinese release. Allegedly delivering up to 9 days of battery life with always-on display functionality enabled, the Watch S5 should last up to 21 days in power saving mode too.

The Watch S5 will start life globally as just a 46 mm smartwatch.

Moreover, the Watch S5 features a 1.48-inch AMOLED display set within a 46 mm case. Sporting a 323 PPI pixel density thanks to a 480 x 480-pixel resolution, the display also peaks at 2,500 nits in certain conditions with 1,500 nits full panel brightness. The smartwatch contains built-in GPS too, as well as over 150 pre-installed sports modes.

Currently, Xiaomi has not revealed when it will be launching the Watch S5 outside China. However, the company is hosting a global launch event in Vienna on May 28. While it is focusing on the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro, multiple other devices are also expected to be in attendance.

Hence, it seems likely that the Watch S5 could join the Xiaomi 17T series too. In the meantime, please see our launch article from earlier this year for more details about Xiaomi's latest luxury smartwatch.
