Xiaomi Showcases Elegant Watch S4 41mm. They Entice with Premium Look and Bright Display

The Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has expanded its smartwatch portfolio with a more compact variant of its previously launched model. The new Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm are, as the name suggests, a smaller sibling to the standard Watch S4 and primarily target users with slimmer wrists or those who prefer a less conspicuous look. The watch retains the premium appearance and most features of the larger version but differs in a few key aspects.

Compact Design with Premium Materials

The Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm boasts a 1.32-inch round AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels, offering a 60 Hz refresh rate and an impressive maximum brightness of up to 2,200 nits (with typical HBM brightness of 1,500 nits). Compared to the standard 47mm version, they are significantly lighter – weighing just 32 grams and only 9.5 mm thin, which can contribute to greater comfort during all-day wear.

The watch comes in four color variants: black, mint green, white, and a special gold version. The gold edition is particularly striking, featuring a Milanese strap and a crown adorned with six cultivated diamonds. Users can choose from three types of straps: plastic (TPU), leather, and the aforementioned Milanese.

Decent Battery Life Even in a Smaller Form Factor

Despite the more compact dimensions, Xiaomi engineers managed to fit a 320 mAh battery into the watch, providing up to 8 days of battery life with typical usage. With more intensive use, the watch lasts about 4 days, and with Always-On Display enabled, approximately 3 days. While this doesn’t match the 15-day battery life of the larger Watch S4 model, it is still a very solid value in this category.

Also worth mentioning is the implementation of the improved Xring T1 chip with a modem that is 35% more energy-efficient than in the standard Watch S4 model. The watch runs on the Xiaomi HyperOS 2 operating system and offers integration with other devices from the ecosystem.

Advanced Health and Sports Features

Like the larger variant, the Watch S4 41mm also brings an improved 4-LED + 4PD sensor module for more accurate heart rate tracking. The watch supports over 150 sports modes and includes comprehensive health features such as heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, blood oxygen measurement, and high-precision temperature measurement.

An interesting new feature is support for real-time heart rate tracking during swimming and the ability to broadcast heart rate via Bluetooth for data synchronization with cycling and fitness equipment. It also includes a GPS module, an SOS function for emergencies, and 5ATM water resistance.

Price and Availability

The basic model with a fluoroelastomer strap is sold in China for 999 jüanů (approximately 3,200 Kč converted). The version with a leather strap costs 1,199 jüanů (about 3,800 Kč), and the top variant with a Milanese strap comes in at 1,499 jüanů (roughly 4,800 Kč).

The watch has so far been officially launched only on the Chinese market, and Xiaomi has not yet commented on its global availability. However, the standard 47mm Watch S4 model is already available in the Czech Republic for a price starting from 3,399 Kč, so there is a chance that the more compact variant will also make its way to our market over time.
