Xiaomi launched the Mi Band 4 last year in Cian and later on rolled out the smart band for the international market as Mi Smart Ban 4. The wearable device has already gotten a successor in the i Band 5 launched earlier this year but the compay hinted that it will launch an NFC version of the Mi Band 4 back in June. The new version was later rolled out in Russia. The Mi Band 4 NFC is now spreading to other European markets as the product has now been unveiled in Belarus and Ukraine.
The product is released in the two Europen countries in collaboration with Mastercard who powers the contactless payment service using the NFC chips onboard the device. The arrangement also has a number of Belarusian and Ukrainian banks as partners but is only for Mastercard holders.
Xiaomi is yet to announce an elaborate roll out outside the countries where it has already been rolled out. But since this is a partnership with Mastercard, we may likely see a wider roll out in the coming weeks.
Apart from contactless payment, the Mi Band 4 NFC packs all the fitness and sports features onboard the regular Band 4 such as heart rate sensor, sleep tracker, waterproof build and other sports-centric features.
