Xiaomi unveiled a range of products at today’s launch event. While the Xiaomi 15 series stole the spotlight, the company also introduced some wearable accessories. Among them is the new Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro, their latest fitness tracker.
Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro Specifications
The Band 9 Pro retains the same 1.74-inch rectangular display as its predecessor. And no prize for guessing, it’s an identical 60Hz AMOLED panel. However, Xiaomi has doubled the peak brightness to 1200 nits in this generation.
The Band 9 Pro has an aluminum case available in black, gold, or pink. It is water-resistant up to 5 ATM, allowing you to wear it worry-free during swims. It’s also feather-light at 24.5 grams and a mere 10.8 millimeters thin.
Xiaomi is offering either a sporty or leather band depending on the variant, with a sleek Milanese loop sold separately for those seeking a touch of elegance.
Battery life is probably the main upgrade on the new smart band. Xiaomi claims the wearable can now offer up to 21 days of run time.
Features remain a strong suit for Xiaomi. The usual suspects return, including over 150 sports modes and an integrated GPS for tracking runs and bike rides without needing your phone.
Sleep tracking is said to be more precise this time around, and heart rate monitoring has reportedly seen improvements as well. Rounding out the feature set is an NFC chip that will allow users to make contactless payments via the wearable itself.
Price and Availability
For now, the Smart Band 9 Pro is a China-only affair, with prices starting at 399 yuan (around €52) for the sports band option and 449 yuan (around €58) for the leather variant. The standard Xiaomi Smart Band 9 is already available in some regions for around €33, but details on the global launch of the Pro model are still under wraps.
