Thanks to the Mi Band fitness trackers, Xiaomi has also established itself as one of the leading brands when it comes to wearable devices. Now, the company is working on the fourth generation of Mi Band fitness tracker — Xiaomi Mi Band 4.
Xiaomi has scheduled a launch event in China on 11th June but has not revealed what it plans to launch. Later, the company revealed that it plans to launch something related to Mi TV and smart new products.
Today, the company has confirmed that it will be launching the Mi Band 4 fitness tracker at the June 11th launch event in China. The official Weibo account of the company reveals that the next-gen fitness tracker will come with more features, longer battery life, and aggressive pricing.
The major features coming to the Mi Band 4 is the color display, replacing the black and white display that was used in the previous generation models. Further, the company will also be introducing its own smart voice assistant — XiaoAI on this new Mi Band.
As per the leaks, to withstand the colored display power requirements, Mi Band 4 will come powered by a 135mAh battery instead of 110mAh battery on the Mi Band 3. The new fitness band will come with Bluetooth 5.0 for improved connectivity across multiple devices, which is a significant upgrade over the Mi Band 3 which uses Bluetooth 4.2.
The fitness band is also expected to come with an improved “Heart Rate Monitoring” system. Reports indicate that the Mi Band 4 will come in two different versions – one with NFC bearing model number XMSH08HM and the standard non-NFC version with model number XMSH07HM. The NFC version is expected for the price of 499 Yuan (~$72) whereas the standard version’s costing will remain between 200-300 Yuan (~$28-$43).
