Xiaomi to launch smartwatches next year?

Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi may be the latest tech giant planning to soon enter the wearable device market.

 After becoming the third biggest 

player in the smartphone market, the company

is now hinting that it may consider making a 

smartwatch. 

Hugo Barra, Xiaomi’s global vice president

stated in a YouTube video that he wants consumer 

feedback on what users would want to see in a

smartwatch. He said, “You’d be absolutely amazed 

if you’d see all the things that we experiment with

here at Xiaomi”. Based on the suggestions, Xiaomi 

can consider building a smartwatch for their fans

which could be affordable as well.
