Xiaomi has announced that it will hold a launch event in China on April 18, 2023, where it will unveil its flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone. Additionally, the company has confirmed that it will also launch the Xiaomi Band 8 smart band during the event.
A teaser poster has revealed what the gadget will look like. The Xiaomi Band 8 retains its previous long oval pill-like appearance, featuring a narrow frame runway screen. However, there will be various options for straps, including those made from different materials. The bracelet strap variant of the Band 8 will have narrower lugs compared to the wide strap variant, making for a sleeker look.
At present, it seems that the Xiaomi Band 8 will be available in three color options for the wide strap variant: Black & White, Green, and Yellow. Meanwhile, the bracelet models will come in Black and Rose Gold. While there are no further details mentioned in the teaser, the previous certifications of the Xiaomi Band 8 with model number M2239B1 suggest that it will feature Bluetooth 5.1 technology and a built-in DC 3.87V polymer lithium-ion battery. Let’s take a look at its predecessor to get an idea of what else to expect.
