Yesterday we reported that the Mi Band 3 will get a successor this year called the Mi Band 4. Now two variants of the upcoming smart band have been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website.
The two variants of the Mi Band 4 were listed yesterday. One is the NFC variant which has the product name “Mi Smart Band 4 NFC” and model number “XMSH08HM” while the other is the non-NFC model with the product name “Mi Smart Band 4” and model number “XMSH07HM”.
Both bands will connect via Bluetooth 5.0, an upgrade over the Mi Band 3 which connects via Bluetooth 4.2. Bluetooth 5.0 brings a stronger connection and a greater range compared to previous generations. It is also faster when sending data between devices. The Bluetooth listing confirms the Mi Band 4 is manufactured by Anhui Huami Information Technology Co. Ltd., who own the Amazfit brand.
