Poco Watch specifications
The Poco Watch features a 1.6-inch AMOLED display with a 320×360 pixels resolution that brings a pixel density of 301ppi. The display also comes with a 2.5D curved glass protection. The smartwatch carries an array of sensors that include an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and an optical heart rate sensor. These sensors help track fitness and activities. The Poco Watch is also touted to be capable of measuring blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and heart rate. However, it doesn’t have any medical certifications and cannot replace traditional healthcare equipment — just like other smartwatches of its segment.
Poco has preloaded the smartwatch with a range of watch faces to provide a personalised experience to users. There is also an option to customise a watch face with photos of your preference. Further, the watch has support for always-on watch faces to show information including date and time at a glance — without requiring to activate the screen.
The Poco Watch is equipped with a GNSS chip to offer standalone GPS tracking for precision positioning while on the go. It is also claimed to help track your sleep patterns to record and show your deep and light sleep stages. Other fitness-focussed features on the watch include stress monitoring, breathing training, and female health.
In terms of connectivity, the Poco Watch comes with Bluetooth v5.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy) support. It is compatible with devices running at least Android 6.0 or iOS 10.0. The watch has a water-resistant build that is rated to be 5ATM water resistance, which means it can be worn in the swimming pool, while swimming near the shore, or during other shallow-water activities.
The Poco Watch packs a 225mAh battery that is rated to deliver up to 14 days of usage. It measures 39.1×34.4×9.98mm and weighs 31 grams.

The Poco Buds Pro Genshin Impact Edition comes with 9mm composite dynamic drivers that have an impedance of 32 ohms. The earbuds are equipped with an active noise cancellation (ANC) technology that is claimed to help reduce ambient noise by up to 35dB. There is also a Transparency Mode to let you hear your surroundings while listening to a music track. Further, there is a Voice Enhancement mode to let you hear clearly during a conversation with people around you, without needing to remove the earbuds, the brand said.

Similar to other TWS earbuds, the Poco Buds Genshin Impact Edition come with touch controls. The earbuds also have an IPX4 splash-resistant design and come with Bluetooth v5.2 connectivity. You can also connect the earbuds with two different Android or iOS devices simultaneously.
The Poco Buds Genshin Impact Edition are specifically designed in collaboration with role-playing game (RPG) Genshin Impact. The partnership brings the unique design where red colour and gold accent are visible on the earbuds and the case. The earbuds also give notifications in the voice of Klee — the playable character in the Genshin Impact game. Additionally, the earbuds are bundled with a Klee backpack carrying case to appeal to mobile gamers.
Poco has packed a 35mAh battery within each earbud, while the bundled charging case has a 470mAh battery. The earbuds are claimed to deliver up to six hours of usage on a single charge. However, the usage reaches up to 28 hours when using the charging case, the brand claimed.
The charging case has a USB Type-C port for wired charging and supports Qi standard for wireless charging. There is also fast charging support to offer three hours of playback time with 10 minutes of quick charge.
