Xiaomi is back on top of the global wearable band market, beating Apple to become the number one vendor in Q1 2025, according to new data from Canalys.
The research firm says Xiaomi’s strongerand more refined ecosystem helped it reclaim the lead it last held in mid-2021. In contrast, Apple’s wearable strategy is starting to feel outdated.
Canalys reports that the overall wearable band market is bouncing back. Shipments grew 13% year-over-year to hit 46.6 million units in Q1 2025. Most of this growth came from basic wearables, which are more popular in emerging markets, where Xiaomi has a strong presence.

Noting this, Canalys Analyst Jack Leathem said, “Xiaomi has upgraded its Mi Band and Redmi Watch series with refreshed designs and advanced data capabilities, bringing comprehensive features down the price segments, boosting its value proposition. Its growth has also been supported by effective multi-category coordination and competitive pricing, particularly in emerging economies. (…) Samsung has also increased its focus on its basic bands to grow its presence in emerging economies.”
Xiaomi shipped 8.7 million units in the quarter, marking a 44% increase from the same time last year. A big driver was the Redmi Band 5, but Canalys credits the brand’s wider success to its HyperOS platform, which links phones, wearables, and smart home devices.

These figures match up with recent findings from Counterpoint, which noted that the Apple Watch has been on a global decline for the past two years.
The report reads, “With 2025 marking the Apple Watch’s tenth anniversary, Apple is expected to regain momentum in the second half of the year with a big portfolio update, leaning on its mature and tightly integrated health-focused ecosystem.”
Huawei held onto third place with 7.1 million units sold, boosted by its GT and Fit series and the expanding reach of the Huawei Health app.
Samsung came in fourth but posted the highest growth among the top five, up 74% to 4.9 million units. The company focused on both affordable bands for emerging markets and premium smartwatches for other regions.
Garmin took fifth place with 1.8 million units shipped, marking a 10% year-over-year growth.

WhatsApp is making it easier to have casual voice conversations in groups. The app has expanded its Voice Chat feature, now available to all group chats, no matter the size.
WhatsApp Voice Chats – What’s New?
This feature was previously only available in WhatsApp‘s larger groups, but now any group can start a voice chat. Unlike traditional group calls that ring every member, voice chats work more like a drop-in audio hangout. When someone starts one, it doesn’t ring anyone and instead, a quiet pop-up appears in the chat letting people join if they want.
WhatsApp says the new update lets group members chat live using voice while still sending messages in the chat. You can join or leave anytime without interrupting the ongoing conversation.
How ‘Audio Hangouts’ in Group Chats Work?
To start a voice chat, just swipe up from the bottom of the group chat and hold for a few seconds. The best part is that it is low-disruption without any notifications or ringtones.
Once active, the voice chat is pinned to the bottom of the group chat. This makes it easy to see who’s talking, control your audio settings and join or leave freely.
New participants can join in at any time. And like everything else on WhatsApp, voice chats are end-to-end encrypted by default.
While this kind of voice chat experience has been around on platforms like Discord, Telegram and Slack, it’s new to WhatsApp users. These platforms already let users hop in and out of live group voice chats without needing to place a formal call.
Now, WhatsApp users get a similar and seamless way to chat with their groups, no pressure, no ringing, just drop in and talk.
