The Xiaomi Mi Bands are the most popular budget fitness trackers in the countries where the company has its presence. Last month, the brand launched the latest model in the series dubbed as Mi Band 5 in China. It is available in two options – standard and NFC. Now, according to a new leak, there could be a third model called Mi Band 5 Pro.
The existence of Mi Band 5 Pro was first spotted after few days from the launch of Mi Band 5 in China. Folks at GeekDoing, found its codename as well as its icon in the Mi Wear app. Now, once again, they find a similar thing in the Mi Fit app.
Xiaomi used to sell its fitness trackers with “Mi Band” branding worldwide. But that changed with the release of Mi Band 4 last year. The company continued to use the same for China but in other markets, it began to sell them with “Mi Smart Band” branding.
The same can be said for its codename. In China, the Mi Band 5 is called “Kongming”, whereas, the global variant is called “York”. Further, the variant without NFC is called “Kongming L”. Now, a new model codenamed “Kongming Pro” has been spotted in Mi Fit app and thus once again confirms the presence of Mi Band 5 Pro.
Unfortunately, the new finding does not reveal any specs but it confirms the Pro variant to feature NFC (transit card option in the screenshot), which is obvious anyway. Having said that, we are not sure when Xiaomi will be unveiling the new variant of Mi Band 5 officially but it could happen anytime soon.
