Unlike the I2 the I3 has a much wider screen 1.39′ Amoled and with a higher resolution, a 400 x 400 pixel screen.

The watch shifts to another type which is the fitness watch as the real-time heart rate sensor is witnessed under the watch. Moreover, we get to see the SIM slot and magnetic charging terminals. The manufacturer is generous and cares a lot about the users. Why? That’s because the creator has dedicated a separate SIM slot that can be opened through the lid, unlike other independent watches that needs to be completely open, remove the battery and place the SIM slot. Still, the lid is sealed, and we have to unscrew it with the screwdriver given inside the package.IQI I3 Smartwatch runs on Android Lollipop 5.1. The OS is highly customized for this smartwatch, and the best apart of it is that most of the operations in it are voice controlled (GPS, dialer, music player, etc.), remember the Google Voice. As a smartphone, the watch can show weather statistic, play music, supports Play store, and a notification bar. Even with the incredible resolution, most of the applications are compatible.

With the 350 mAh capacity, the battery last from 3 to 5 days depending on how frequently do you use it. The smartwatch sports magnetic charging instead of the old USB port.
