The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro was initially launched in China in July. Yesterday, the company announced this wearable for the global markets.
Outside mainland China, it goes by Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Additionally, it also lacks a useful feature.
The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro arrives with NFC as standard in China. Hence, it offers support for contactless payments and transit passes in the region.
But unfortunately, the global variant of the fitness tracker lacks NFC. We expected the product to feature this hardware because Xiaomi released Mi Smart Band 6 NFC in select global markets last year.
This year, the company has neither debuted Xiaomi Smart Band 7 NFC in international markets nor has included NFC in Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Hence, people looking for contactless payments on their fitness trackers will have to buy the older Mi Smart Band 6 NFC.
Perhaps, the firm may bring the NFC variant of Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro later. But as of now, there are no leaks or reports regarding it.
Either way, if you are fine without NFC, the wearable is a good purchase for €99. It offers a 1.64-inch rectangular AMOLED display, heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, sleep tracking, 110+ sports modes, GNSS, 150+ watch faces, 5 ATM water resistance, 12-day battery life, and more.
