Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro, Watch 2, Watch S3 and Band 8 Pro start international rollout

25 February 2024

The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 is coming to global markets, starting at €700. This hefty tablet comes with a large 12.4-inch, 12-bit, 144Hz, HDR-certified display and a six-speaker audio setup for a great multimedia experience. Inside is a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with either 8GB or RAM and 256GB of storage or 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This premium tablet also packs a 10,000 mAh battery with 120W fast charging.

You can also pick up the optional keyboard for €170 and the stylus for €100.

The Xiaomi Watch 2 has already been making the rounds in various Amazon listings across Europe so it’s price isn’t entirely a surprise. You can pick one up for €200. The Xiaomi Watch 2 has an aluminum body with a 5 ATM water resistance rating and a 1.43” 466 x 466px AMOLED display. Also on board is a GPS receiver as well as heart rate and SpO2 monitoring. It is based on the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset (running Wear OS). We should note that the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is also available for about €20 extra for the Bluetooth version or €50 for the optional LTE version. You basically get the same specs with a stainless steel body.

The Xiaomi Watch S3 is also coming to global markets. While it might look quite similar to the Xiaomi Watch 2 and Watch 2 Pro, it should be noted that, unlike those two devices, the Watch S3 does not run Google’s Wear OS. Instead, you get an IoT HyperOS platform. This means no downloadable apps. Other than that, you still get an excellent 1.43-inch AMOLED display inside an aluminum body with a swappable stainless steel bezel. A Xiaomi Watch S3 will run you €150.

Last but not least, global markets also get the Pro version of Xiaomi’s latest popular Band series device – the Band 8 Pro. Compared to the last generation 7 Pro, the 8 Pro has a bigger, brighter, higher resolution 1.74” AMOLED display. You also get 5 ATM water resistance and an advertised 14 days of battery life on a single charge. The Band 8 Pro has new and more accurate heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2) sensors, and built-in GPS and NFC. MSRP is set at €70.
