Nothing concrete is known on the specifications of the Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite. The UL Demko certification shows that the device carries support for 5Vdc and 0.4A charging. It can be assumed from the moniker of the device that it will be coming with weaker specs compared to the original Xiaomi Mi Watch that debuted in China in November 2019.
The Xiaomi Mi Watch that went official last year came with a 1.78-inch S-AMOLED display, Snapdragon 3100 chipset, 570mAh battery 1 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of native storage. It came with other features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and wireless charging. It was priced at 1,299 Yuan ($190) at launch.
