The Redmi Watch 5 Active does support voice calling through Bluetooth connectivity. It features a built-in speaker and a dual-microphone system with noise reduction capabilities, allowing users to make and receive calls directly from the watch. This functionality is enabled by Bluetooth 5.3, which provides stable and efficient wireless connectivity to compatible smartphones running Android 6.0 or iOS 12.0 and above[2][5][7].
Users can manage calls by answering, rejecting, or making calls using the watch's interface. The watch also supports storing call history and adding favorite contacts via the Mi Fitness app[2]. The audio quality during calls is reported to be clear, with the speaker being surprisingly loud and the microphone performing adequately in various environments[6][7].
However, it's important to note that voice calls are limited to native Bluetooth calling and do not support voice calls through third-party apps[3]. Additionally, while the watch offers built-in Alexa support, it is primarily for controlling smart home devices or accessing general information, and not for initiating voice calls[9].
Overall, the Redmi Watch 5 Active provides a convenient hands-free calling experience for users who want to stay connected without needing to physically handle their smartphones.
