Recently, Xiaomi has released a new smart wearable device - Xiaomi Watch S3. The biggest selling point of this watch is "independent calling, strong battery life".
The Xiaomi Watch S3 is equipped with the W117 chip independently developed by UNISOC Unigroup, which not only improves the call experience, but also greatly improves the battery life. This is mainly due to UNISOC's technological innovation and breakthroughs. Compared with other smart watches of the same level, the comprehensive strength of Xiaomi Watch S3 can be said to have reached the first-class level in the industry.
Let's take a look at some of the noteworthy innovations of this watch. First of all, in terms of communication capabilities, Xiaomi Watch S3 supports eSIM independent calls, which has achieved a major leap forward in being able to make direct calls without a mobile phone.
This is for users who often travel for sports, so as to avoid missing important calls; The second is battery life, which can reach about 7 days at most, far exceeding similar products, and can be used for 2 days after 5 minutes of fast charging; Finally, in terms of performance improvement, the overall performance is improved by more than 50% compared with the previous generation by using advanced process and chip architecture.
It can be said that the in-depth cooperation between Xiaomi and UNISOC this time has enabled Xiaomi Watch S3 to achieve a qualitative leap in many aspects, bringing users a better smart wearable experience.
Let's take a closer look at the innovations of this watch.
eSIM independent calls, no more important information missed
The biggest innovation of the Xiaomi Watch S3 is that it supports the eSIM independent call function.
An eSIM is an electronic SIM card embedded in a device. With the eSIM feature, users can make calls directly on the watch without relying on their mobile phones. This is based on the 4G communication capability of UNISOC W117 chip platform.
The W117 chip integrates the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100+ platform and the independent and controllable 4G baseband modem, and supports mainstream communication methods such as NB-IoT and eMTC.
Specifically, this chip supports VoLTE voice calls, allowing the Xiaomi Watch S3 to enjoy a call experience with HD sound quality.
At the same time, the eSIM card gives it completely independent communication capabilities. In other words, even if it is not within the Bluetooth range of the mobile phone, users can make calls and receive messages directly on the watch.
This can avoid the embarrassment of missing important calls when users are running, exercising, driving, or forgetting their mobile phones.
It can be said that eSIM independent calls have opened a new chapter in smart wearable devices. Users no longer need to be limited by mobile phones, and the watch itself has strong communication capabilities.
This also opens up the possibility of more innovative application scenarios, such as the elderly can go out with only their watches, and they can contact their family members in case of emergencies. Athletes no longer need to carry their phones and don't have to worry about missing out on their coaches.
The eSIM call is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the Xiaomi Watch S3.
This is mainly due to UNISOC's powerful integrated communication solutions, which bring a major innovation in the call experience to the smart wearable field. It is foreseeable that in the future, as eSIM technology continues to mature, smart wearable devices will have stronger and stronger independent networking capabilities, opening up more possibilities for human life.
The battery life is strong, and fast charging is more convenient
In addition to its communication capabilities, the battery life of the Xiaomi Watch S3 is also impressive.
In daily use scenarios, it can support up to 7 days of ultra-long battery life. Even after turning on functions such as positioning, it can guarantee 3-5 days of use. This is the top level in the same level of smart wearable products.
This is mainly due to the excellent low-power design of UNISOC W117 chip platform. W117 adopts 7nm advanced process technology, which can effectively reduce the static and dynamic power consumption of the chip.
In addition, it also controls the power consumption of the chip at an ultra-low level through FPU framework reconstruction, memory subsystem optimization and other solutions. At the system level, UNISOC adopts independent and controllable UCVS technology to accurately manage and optimize the power consumption of the Xiaomi Watch S3.
The strong battery life can significantly enhance the user experience.
In the past, due to concerns about power issues, users would have certain usage restrictions, such as not daring to exercise for a long time. With the long battery life of the Xiaomi Watch S3, users can have unprecedented freedom in using electricity. Even if you're hiking in the wild for multiple days, you don't have to charge your watch as often.
Matched with the super battery life, there is also the ability of the Xiaomi Watch S3 to charge quickly. It supports ultra-fast flash charging technology, which only takes 5 minutes to charge and can support up to 2 days of battery life. This further solves the user's charging anxiety problem.
Flash charging for a short period of time anytime, anywhere can get enough power to last for days.
The overall performance has been improved by 50%, and the hardware has made a significant leap
Performance is another important metric that every new product needs to break through.
In this regard, the Xiaomi Watch S3 has also brought an overall performance improvement of more than 50%, achieving a qualitative leap in hardware configuration.
This is mainly due to the innovative architecture adopted by UNISOC W117 chip.
It uses a quad-core design with 2 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores, which can achieve a better balance between computing performance and low power consumption. Compared to the previous generation, the CPU and GPU performance are improved by 50% and 100%, respectively.
In addition, the memory bandwidth has been increased to 21.3 GB/s, which is more than twice that of the previous generation.
The powerful computing power brings smoother system interface operation and richer application scenarios.
For example, in fitness sports, the heart rate detection algorithm has also been optimized, and the measurement accuracy has reached 97.95%, which significantly improves the authenticity of fitness data. In addition, the Xiaomi Watch S3 has also added support for third-party apps, and users can install more functional apps on their own.
It can be said that with the blessing of UNISOC chip, Xiaomi Watch S3 has achieved a leap in the performance of the whole machine. This not only improves the basic experience of the product, but also provides a computing power foundation for smart wearable devices to support more complex applications. In the future, with the further development of technology, smart watches will evolve into a powerful wearable mobile computing platform.
Epilogue:
Through the above analysis, it can be seen that this time, Xiaomi's Xiaomi Watch S3, which is equipped with UNISOC independent controllable chip platform, has achieved a great leap in many aspects such as call experience, battery life, and performance improvement, bringing users a better experience of using smart wearable products. With the deepening of this strategic cooperation, it is foreseeable that the domestic intelligent equipment ecology will be increasingly improved to support the rapid development of the industry.
However, we should also note that chip technology innovation requires long-term accumulation, and there are still many challenges to further master more core manufacturing technologies such as extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. In addition, innovation is not a one-sided technological progress, but also needs to consider user needs and business models. It is hoped that domestic science and technology enterprises can continue to increase R&D investment, based on the key links of the innovation chain, and cultivate more leading enterprises with international competitiveness for the mainland science and technology industry.
There are also the following points to discuss this:
Some netizens believe that the Xiaomi Watch S3 has not improved significantly in terms of battery life and performance, and the improvement is limited compared with the previous generation. Some netizens also believe that this cooperation is of great significance to the domestic chip industry, indicating that domestic chips will march into higher-end fields. Some netizens think that the cooperation between small mi and Unisplendour is suspected of commercial marketing, and we should look at it rationally.
