Xiaomi has finally launched one of its latest smartwatches globally. Featuring a 3,000-nit AMOLED display and up to 14 days of battery life, the Watch S5 41 mm comes in three colours and even supports Google Pay thanks to built-in NFC connectivity.

A few days ago, reports emerged suggesting that Xiaomi was on the verge of releasing its smaller Watch S5 smartwatch in Europe. Shortly afterwards, the company scheduled the Xiaomi 18 Pro series global launch event for November 17, full details of which we have covered separately. However, it has not confirmed whether the Watch S5 41 mm will be in attendance.

In the meantime, Xiaomi has listed the smartwatch on its global website. As a result, the company has confirmed that the Watch S5 41 mm will be available outside China in Black, Ceramic White and Light Blue finishes. Also, a 590 mAh battery returns, boasting up to 14 days of battery life. For reference, the Watch S5 41 mm is said to last about 7 days less between charges than the larger Watch S5 46 mm (curr. $164.99 on Amazon).

The Watch S5 41 mm supports tap-to-pay functionality globally.

Setting that aside, the Watch S5 41 mm masters Google Pay functionality thanks to a built-in NFC module and Xiaomi's HyperOS 4 operating system. Also, the smartwatch utilises a GNSS module to provide route navigation and offline maps support. On top of that, the Watch S5 41 mm is 5 ATM water-resistant and comes pre-loaded with over 150 sports modes.

Furthermore, Xiaomi's global model contains a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a 466 x 466-pixel resolution, a 352 PPI pixel density and up to 3,000 nits peak brightness. Xiaomi has not confirmed pricing or availability yet. Recent leaks indicate that the Watch S5 41 mm could cost about $269 (€240), though. Please see Xiaomi's website for more details.
