In the field of smart watches, Apple Watch is a well-deserved benchmark, with obvious ecological and software advantages. However, for Android users, Apple Watch is not recommended. The ecological barrier is an insurmountable gap. If you want to experience AW, you must pair it with an iPhone. What's more, there are already many excellent smartwatches in the Android camp. Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, Xiaomi all have their own flagship products. Today, we will review Samsung Watch5 Pro, Huawei WATCH 3 Pro New, OPPO Watch 3 Pro, and Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro as representatives to see which one performs better?
one, appearance
dial: Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi have all chosen round dials, while only OPPO has a square dial. The choice is a matter of opinion and everyone has their own preferences. What is different is that OPPO Watch 3 Pro adopts a wrist-growing design. The dial and screen have a certain curvature, which can better fit the wrist, make the detection more accurate, and provide better comfort.
material: Samsung Watch5 Pro is made of titanium alloy + DLC diamond-like coating material, with a sapphire glass panel; Huawei WATCH 3 Pro New also has a sapphire glass panel with a titanium watch body; OPPO Watch 3 Pro uses an aluminum alloy middle frame with a glass panel; Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro has a sapphire glass panel with a stainless steel watch body.
Second, performance
Performance is very important for the smoothness of smart watches. What is embarrassing about Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro is that it uses a BES2500BP chip platform processor, using a 12-nanometer process; Samsung Watch5 Pro uses its own Exynos w920 (dual-core, 5nm), which has good performance and is more in line with Samsung watches.
The partners of Huawei WATCH 3 Pro New and OPPO Watch 3 Pro are obviously more luxurious, both using dual-core architecture. Among them, the processor configuration of Huawei WATCH 3 Pro New has not been disclosed, while OPPO Watch 3 Pro uses the flagship dual-core configuration of Snapdragon W5 and Apollo4 Plus, which not only has more advantages in performance, but also can better control power consumption.
Third, sports and health
Sports and health are of great concern to everyone. Blood oxygen detection has attracted considerable attention recently, and these four smart watches all support blood oxygen detection. These four smart watches all support hundreds of sports mode detection, but they are different in the direction of force. Among them, Huawei Watch 3 Pro new has a golf course mode, which is very suitable for business people who like golf; Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro supports rowing machines, professional model optimization, and can fully meet daily needs; OPPO Watch 3 Pro, in addition to conventional sports detection, also has self-developed tennis, running, skiing and other sports modes to meet diverse needs.
In terms of health, OPPO Watch 3 Pro benefits from the OPPO Health Laboratory, which not only supports ECG analysis prompt software, but also supports plateau low blood oxygen warning, all-weather continuous blood oxygen monitoring, 24-hour irregular heart rhythm warning and other functions. The health function is very professional.
4. Apply
In recent years, many Android manufacturers have been working hard to build their own software ecosystem. In terms of smart watches, OPPO, Samsung, and Huawei have performed well, but Xiaomi's lagging behind is obvious. It is worth noting that compared to OPPO and Huawei, Samsung still has many disadvantages, including more games, and the actual experience is relatively poor. There is not much difference between OPPO and Huawei. The main difference is in the cooperative manufacturers, and they can basically meet daily needs.
Five, battery life
As the benchmark, the battery life of Apple Watch is not outstanding, but Android smart watches perform well. Xiaomi officially stated that the battery life is 10 days under heavy use, and the AOD display is only 5 days. Samsung officials did not give a reference. According to feedback, the battery life can reach 80 hours, which is probably more than three days. Huawei and OPPO are special. OPPO Watch 3 Pro has a battery life of five days in full smart mode and up to 15 days in light smart mode. Huawei WATCH 3 Pro New has a battery life of 4 days in classic mode and up to 21 days in long battery mode. From a practical point of view, the battery life performance of Huawei and OPPO is undoubtedly better, and they can better meet the different needs of users.
Six, price
Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro is the lowest-priced player among the four products, and can be purchased for 1,599 yuan; OPPO Watch 3 Pro is also relatively low-priced, and can be purchased for 1,989 yuan; Huawei WATCH 3 Pro New and Samsung Watch5 Pro are both relatively expensive, priced at 2,999 yuan and 3,099 yuan respectively.
Summary
The advantage of Xiaomi’s smart watch is that the overall quality is good and the price is low, but its performance in other aspects is indeed average. When the price is high enough, Huawei and Samsung each have their own advantages in terms of experience, but compared to the most popular player OPPO Watch 3 Pro, they are not outstanding and have disadvantages in health, performance and other aspects. Taken together, OPPO Watch 3 Pro can be regarded as the most worth-buying and best-experienced smartwatch in the Android camp. What do you think?
