Xiaomi considering a smartwatch, asks fans what they want

Mi - #AskMi  Will Xiaomi be releasing a smart watch

Xiaomi’s head of international Hugo Barra posted a video on Facebook today asking fans what they would like to see in a smartwatch.

To be clear, Xiaomi did not announce a smartwatch. Barra says there will be a “decision in the next few months” and for now there are “no solid plans.”

Perhaps Xiaomi is waiting on the Apple Watch for some inspiration (Zing!). Check out the video below.
