Xiaomi is the world’s second largest wearable maker after Apple. The Chinese electronics maker shipped more than 10 million Mi Band 3 units in less than seven months since its launch. Xiaomi is continually improving its portfolio and is now expected to launch the fourth generation Mi Band soon. Various leaks and reports have already revealed most of its specifications and features. It recently appeared on Bluetooth SIG uncovering almost every hardware detail.
Now a few more details have emerged in a new leak. According to the leak, Mi Band 4 will ditch the monochrome display and will come with a colored screen featuring a more attractive UI. To withstand the colored display power requirements, Mi Band 4 will see a 135 mAh battery instead of 110 mAh on Mi Band 3. The new fitness band will come with Bluetooth 5.0 for improved connectivity across multiple devices. It is a significant upgrade over the Mi Band 3 which uses Bluetooth 4.2.
The Mi Band 4 will come in two different versions – one with NFC bearing model number XMSH08HM and the standard non-NFC version with model number XMSH07HM. Both bands will support Bluetooth 5.0 having better power efficiency, greater range, and stronger connection.
It will come with an improved “Heart Rate Monitoring” system. Mi Band 4 NFC version is expected for the price of 499 Yuan (~$72) whereas the standard version will remain between 200-300 Yuan (~$28-$43). Launch detail is not available at the moment.
