We also bought this X5 Air smartwatch with discounts from Tomtop, so today we will make X5 Air review in details. Of course, you can also check other review about wearable devices here.
Design
X5 Air smartwatch comes with a 316L stainless steel watch case and fine leather strap as you can see in the image, which can wear with durable and delicate texture design and superior quality. Of course, the strap can not be removable, it has silver and black color, we got the black one, on the front design, it consists of a large 1.39inch OLED Round Display with 400*400pixel, quite large and clear. There are three buttons on its right side, button 1: back button, button 2: switch on/off button or lock, press the button 2 to screen on/off, press two or three seconds to switch on/off, button 3: menu button, go to emergency contact person by pressing 5 seconds.
On the back design, it has a touch charging dock, just connect the watch with charging dock via the pin position and insert USB cable to charging dock by a micro USB end, and then connect your PC to charge the watch. Besides, there is a SIM card slot after removing the back cover by the little Screwdriver to enjoy 3G network and phone call. But it is pity that it doesn’t have a extended storage TF card slot.

Hardware
X5 Air is not only excellent in its design but also its hardware, because you can save your money to buy a phone, this smartwatch can be regarded as a common watch but also a mid-range phone. It is powered by MTK6580 Quad-core 1.3GHz CPU, which can beat those Dual core phones in its performance, and it has RAM 2GB ROM 16GB internal storage, as you know, we discover that currently only 2GB 16GB quad core smartwatches are most powerful among Chinese wearable devices, there is few 3GB 16GB quad core/Octa core smartwatches, even no one. So if you have a quad core 2GB 16GB smartwatch, it means your watch is the best in Chinese smartwatches they are selling, and you can enjoy searching the Internet very fast, running any apps very responsively. And you can install some apps that 1GB 8GB smartwatch can not do. That’s the goal we buy a high-end watch, fast and more.

And it comes with GPS function, when we go travel to pass the road we are not familiar to go, we can turn on its GPS navigation to guide the road, and we don’t have to buy an expensive GPS navigator from other stores, simple and conveniently. The other is music playing on the go, we can enjoy music by connecting Bluetooth to store music with large storage on our watch.
