Spain will also get the Mi MIX 2 flagship phone. The 18:9 display-toting Mi MIX 2 will sell for €500 for the 6GB RAM + 64GB RAM variant. Other phones that will also be available in Spain include the Mi 6, Mi Max 2, Redmi 4A, Redmi 4X, Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 5A, and Redmi Note 5A Prine

Xiaomi’s Mi Band 2 is one of the top selling smart wearables in the market at the moment. It is cheap, has a heart rate sensor and an IP67 rating.

If you have been putting off buying the Mi Band 2 because of its limited colors, then you may want to get it now. The Mi Band 2 was originally launched in graphite black, with the option to purchase an extra green strap. Now Xiaomi has added a new blue strap to the mix.

It doesn’t mean you get to choose the color of the strap at the point of purchase. Nope, you have to buy it in black then buy the extra strap. To be honest, Xiaomi is kinda late to the party.

There are several resellers that sell third-party straps in a bunch of colors. They have it in red, orange (which Xiaomi advertises but isn’t available for purchase), blue, purple, yellow, pink and even chain. They also cost less than Xiaomi’s ¥19.9 ($3) asking price.

Xiaomi says its straps are skin-friendly and have an “anti-lost” design. I haven’t bought a third-party band for mine but if anyone has, it will be nice to know how it compares to Xiaomi’s.

The new blue strap is available on Mi.com but you have to buy something worth ¥150 ($22) before they ship it out.

Xiaomi has broken several records through the online sales of Redmi 3, Redmi 4, Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 4 smartphones and their variants in India.

The offline sale was conducted at the Xiaomi’s first Mi Home store in India located at Phoenix City, Bengaluru. Over 10,000 Mi fans from 10 different states arrived at the Mi Store to be a part of this milestone achievement of the company.

Xiaomi could generate such a huge revenue through the sales of various Xiaomi devices such as Redmi 4, Redmi 4A, Redmi Note 4, Mi VR Play, Mi Air Purifier 2, Mi Router 3C and Mi Band 2. No other smartphone company has managed to achieve such a milestone in the country. The Chinese firm revealed that the Redmi 4 and Redmi 4A accounted for major sales among other Xiaomi products.

Manu Jain, the Vice President and Managing Director of Xiaomi said,” It was an extremely emotional day for all of us at the opening of our first Mi Home store. I am humbled by the unprecedented outpouring of love from all our Mi Fans who started lining up from 8 AM in the morning. I had a fun filled day with spending time with our fans, billing at the counters for our customers, entertaining people standing in queue and answering multiple queries at Mi Home. Never did I imagine that with every passing hour we were quietly creating history in the Indian retail market.”

Xiaomi has previously said that it will be opening 100 Mi Home stores across the country including major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. With the launch of these offline stores, Xiaomi aims to increase the offline sales of its devices. An additional zone will be available in select Mi Home stores for experiencing more Xiaomi devices.

The market is full of fitness-related products but the Xiaomi Mi Band series is one of the most popular in the world. The latest iteration of the product brings some significant upgrades like the Oled display but keeps an affordable price. You can now get the Mi Band 2 for just $18.99 from lightinthebox.com which sounds like an awesome deal. 

At the first glance, the Mi Band 2 follows a familiar design language but there are some significant upgrades.

First of all, we have an OLED display, which is power-efficient and it displays info like clock, steps taken, calories burned, heart rate, distance walked and various notifications from your smartphone. You can navigate through the information displayed with just one capacitive button.

As for the band itself, I found it to be very convenient to wear all day long. Also, it is durable and it does not seem to wear off anytime soon.

The Mi Band 2 can track your steps, measure your heart rate and it does that very accurately.

Other features worth mentioning are that the band has a sedentary reminder, notifications of missed calls, messages or various apps. Also, the band can track your sleep patterns, vibrate as an alarm clock and so on. All of those features sync with your phone using the Mi Fit app that is simple and easy to use and I didn’t have any connectivity/syncing issues with my phone (tested with the OnePlus 3). Last but not least, the Mi Band 2 is IP67-certified, meaning that it is splash-proof and dust-proof.

The Mi Band 2 is said to give you around 20 days of battery life. It delivers in reality for sure. In fact, I have a feeling that the battery could last for a longer time. I’ve used the band for 10 days and it used just 25% of battery life!

You can now get the Mi Band 2 for just $18.49 from lightinthebox.com which sounds like an awesome deal.

Xiaomi has unveiled a new Mi Band 2 which is meant to commemorate the launch of the Mi 6 flagship. As you know, this year marks 7 years of Xiaomi’s existence but that may not be the only reason why the Mi 6 launch is being made to look so special. We expect the Mi 6 to come with a number of super stunning features other than packing a Snapdragon 835 chip. The Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Mi 6 Commemorative Edition was announced on Xiaomi’s Mi Band 2 official Weibo account today.

The new Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Mi 6 Commemorative Edition comes with the same design as the regular Mi Band 2 but the number “6” is engraved on the touchpad. Apart from that, the words “Mi 6 Memorial” is printed on a part of the rubber straps. These are the two differences on the new band. It is believed the features are the same with the regular Mi Band 2.

US tech company  Misfit is renowned for its stylish fitness trackers that have minimalist designs but could easily be confused for jewelry. Today, the company has added another wearable device, this time an entry-level, cheap fitness tracker dubbed Misfit Flare.

The Flare is quite different from other Misfit wearables in that it is designed to track steps, distance, calorie burned as well as sleep quality but it can’t tell you what time it is because there is no time feature. Since there is no time feature, there’s the likelihood that the device wouldn’t have the alarm feature also. The wearable device can track various activities, like walking, running, yoga, soccer, basketball, and swimming but specifically tracking laps while swimming will require you to buy a $9.99 in-app.

On the design, the Misfit Flare comes with an aluminium outer case which is mounted on the socket in a black band. It has a round shape and there is a capacitive touch sensor with a LED located underneath the fitness device which is used to track activity progress throughout the day. The fitness tracker has a sensitive face as well which when double tapped, causes a LED indicator to flash. The flash has different types and interpretations. A single flash means a user is 25 percent of the way towards an activity goal, a double flash is 50 percent, and a triple flash is 75 percent. A light animation indicates the activity goal for the day has been reached. Still talking about the features, the Misfit Flare packs a replaceable, non-charging battery which is touted to last up to four months. The device is also water resistant and can withstand water up to a 50m depth.

Still talking about the features, the Misfit Flare packs a replaceable, non-charging battery which is touted to last up to four months. The device is also water resistant and can withstand water up to a 50m depth. It can be paired with an iPhone and can even be used as a remote device to take a selfie with an iPhone. It can also be used to wirelessly control music, advance slides in a presentation, control household devices, and more.

All these you can get for $59.99 and it is already available for purchase on Misfit’s website. When compared to the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, the Misfit Flare falls short in not having a time feature. The prices are also different as the Mi Band 2 still looks like the King of cheap fitness wearable devices. With the Mi Band 2, you’ll likely be getting much more for less since its price varies between $19.99 – $25.99.

The name “Paper watch” sounds confusing because the gadget isn’t made from paper per se, but that is the name of the smart wearable that is being developed by researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia. The so -called “paper watch” can perform same functions of health-monitoring and fitness tracking performed by smartwatches like the Apple Watch, Samsung Gear and it can do that at a fraction of the price.

The cheap wearable device uses flexible sensors sourced from common household items like aluminum foil and sponge which works with silicon-based chip components to create a semi-recyclable fitness device. Because the materials used are cheap, household stuff, the “paper watch” itself comes cheap.

The prototype paper watch currently costs $25 USD which is quite cheap, when compared to high-end fitness trackers. But then, the more sturdy and sleek Mi Band 2 comes in even cheaper at around $19.99. The paper watch is still work in progress, though, and the inventors hope to bring down the price further as time progresses. Even though the device cannot show time presently, that is a feature they hope to include in the smart wearable. The inventors hope to spin off a company soon with the device expected later this year, but how well can this fare in an era where Chinese manufacturers are developing cheaper smart wearables with lots of functions is a question that needs to be answered. But the team hopes to target the elderly populace with its cheap product on start up.

Xiaomi launched the Mi Band 2 sometime in June last year and it has been a well received product. The company even ran out of stock severally as a result of the huge demand for the smart wearable. There have been a few reports of defects on the latest wearable by consumer and one of such complaints is the heart rate monitor on the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 doesn’t work of persons with dark skin color.

This complaint was spotted in a thread on the MIUI forum. The thread was created in October last year with the title “Mi Band 2 Heart Rate measure not working on Black People“. The thread has garnered a lot of comments from users of the smart band who seem to have similar problem using the Mi band 2. Some of them even acknowledged that when the palm is put under the sensor, it reads the heart rate perfectly. One respondent claimed placing a white piece of paper in between his skin and the sensor was his own quick fix to solving the issue.

Sure, this isn’t a willful anomaly from Xiaomi or Huami who manufactures the smart band, but is perhaps a software glitch or something. It is very likely it is a software issue as one of the users complained that his own started when he update dthe firmware, while another user claimed his own stopped after updating to the latest firmware version for the Smart band.

Xiaomi has acknowledge that it is aware about the issue and is probably working towards fixing it. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 isn’t the first wearable to be reported with such problem, though, when Microsoft first launched it Kinect in 2010, similar problem propped up on people with dark skin.

Further, the Mi Band  2 features Bluetooth v4.0 which enables it to get synced with Android and iOS smartphones. It is fueled by a 70mAh battery which provides it 20 days of standby time.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is one of the best selling smart bands in the market today. The device comes with great features which pretty have become standard among fitness trackers these days. However, it looks like a new feature is going to be added to the Mi Band 2.

The CEO of Huami, the company which manufactures Xiaomi’s fitness trackers, just revealed on Weibo that Xiaomi’s wearable will receive a new update which will add support for Chinese characters. This will come in handy to add new features such as displaying the name of the caller on the band’s OLED display. Unfortunately, we still don’t know whether the company plans to update the Mi Band 2 with English characters, which if possible would be awesome, as there are millions of users outside China using this fitness tracker.

However, Huami’s CEO adds that the update may not be stable as adding Chinese font would take up some memory, so it looks like initially, the update would roll out to a limited number of users. If you don’t want to take the risk, it’s better to stay off this update until we see some feedback from updated users. The update rolls out from Friday i.e. today.

As would be recalled, Meizu has scheduled a concert holding today in Beijing China and during the concert we had gotten hint that the Meizu M5 would be officially launched. Turns out Meizu is also planning to unveil another device alongside the M5, which by the way sounds like a name from a James Bond movie. Ahead of the concert, renders of the Meizu H1 SmartBand has been teased also, and is said to likely be unveiled today.

Not much detail is known about the Meizu H1 SmartBand but the renders look very similar in design to those if the Xiaomi Mi Band and possibly, the specs would also be similar. The display is shown to be similar to the Mi Band with the time function in blue shown in the render above. The device may likely also feature other specs like heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, pedometer etc.

To further buttress the theory that the H1 SmartBand would likely be launched today, the live image of the wrist band has been leaked right from the concert venue. The H1 SmartBand image appears along with the likely price tag and is alleged to have been grabbed off the dress rehearsal for the concert. What we are not so sure about is the 499 Yuan ($73) price tag the device is listed to sell for.

The Mi Band 2, Xiaomi’s latest, retails for 149 Yuan ($22) and even on various unofficial channels the price doesn’t exceed 200 Yuan ($30). So it would be a big gamble if Meizu would nudge the H1 SmartBand’s price up to that extent. We’ll bring you more on this as they unfold during the concert. Keep the dial on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is possibly one of the best cheap fitness bands available in the market right now. I personally have been using the wearable for the past two months and it does everything it claims to, pretty well. You can set alarms, count the number of steps taken and calories burnt, measure your heart rate as well as check out the time and do much more, all in one device at a cheap price.

These are just some of the features of the Mi Band 2 and it looks like there could be more features added to the device. The CEO of Huami, the company which manufactures the wearable, recently asked users whether they would like to see new features like skipping (Jump Rope). However, he failed to say which wearable he was talking about. It could be either the newly released Amazfit smartwatch or even the Mi Band 2, as both are capable of getting such a new feature via an OTA update.

So, what do you think? Which feature would you like to see on your Xiaomi wearable?

The post Mi Band 2 Could Get More Features Soon appeared first on Gizmochina.

When Xiaomi launched the Mi Band 2 earlier this year, the company faced the issue of the smartband being in short supply with orders being pushed forward while resellers who had units for sale inflated the price. However, seems some other folks decided to cash in on the short supply of the Mi Band 2 by making a clone and selling it as original.

Someone posted online that he purchased a fake version of the band (images below) which he says doesn’t pair to the Mi App. While that might not be the only way to detect if it is a fake, I did a quick search to find if I could find out other ways of identifying a fake.

My search results made me know that even the original Mi Band has knockoffs, as a user on Reddit who has both units posted images of an original Mi Band and a fake. Most of the differences should apply to the Mi Band 2 as well:

• The box should come sealed. On no account should the seal be broken.
• The Mi logo on the box is engraved on it and not a sticker.
• The manual should have the Mi logo printed on the top page
• The band should have designed by Xiaomi written on it.

So just look out for these things and ensure you buy from authorised resellers to avoid buying a fake. You can also check out our official review which has original pictures.

Its been three months since  Xiaomi released the Mi Band 2 yet the wearable device is still very difficult to come by. The Mi Band is officially sold for 149 yuan ($23) but due to scarcity the device sells for as high as 200 yuan ($30) in some online retail shops and even higher than that.

Huami, the company that produces the Mi Band had hinted at plans to double production of the Mi Band 2 two months back. Even at that, Huami’s CEO Huang Wang as well as Xiaomi’s Lei Jun expressed concerns that the increase in production still wont be enough to meet the high demand.

True to their prediction, the Mi Band 2’s production is still not meeting the demand for the intelligent wrist band despite increased production. The Mi Band 2 still tops the popularity chart of Xiaomi’s most wanted gadgets with well over 37 million persons still interested in having the wearable device.

There is good news though. Reacting on Weibo to the chart-topping performance of the popular Mi Band 2, Huami’s CEO, Huang Wang has stated that the company will double production of the Mi Band 2 again by next month. Wang admitted they had indeed doubled production as stated but due to the large volume of demand, it obviously was not enough.

The post Again, Xiaomi to Double Mi Band 2’s Production to meet Huge demand appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi announced the Mi Band 2 in June this year and since then, the Mi Band 2 has been in hot demand, occasionally running out of stock over and again. Xiaomi even had to increase production but that still wasn’t enough to meet demand for the sleek wrist band.

Despite the success of the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, there are reports that the wrist band causes burns to the wrist.  A Weibo user took to the social media platform to allege that use of the Mi Band 2 caused her wrist burns. The user alleged that she has had the burns more than once and after it occurred the second time she contacted Xiaomi’s after-sales desk to lay her complaints. According to the lady, staffs there examined the device and found nothing wrong with it. But she insists her wrist burns were caused by the Mi Band 2.

Close-up shots of the lady’s wrists reveal quite serious burns on her wrist. The burn marks seem to trace the shape of the Mi band display and could have resulted from excessive friction on the wrist by the wearable. The excessive friction may be the result of tightly fitted usage, but then some form of investigation is best to unravel the actual cause of the wrist burns. Xiaomi is yet to issue a statement about this incident which could adversely affect the Mi band 2’s sale.

While this report is definitely something to be investigated upon, don’t panic if you have bought the new wearable. These cases are extremely rare (in fact it’s first time for a Xiaomi wearable), and we are not even sure whether the burns were caused as a direct result of a malfunctioning / overheating Mi Band 2.

Last month we wrote about the shortage of Xiaomi’s Mi Band 2 which led to some major malls selling it at prices higher than normal.  To curb this, the CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, and Mr. Huang Wang who heads Huami, the company producing the band, mentioned that production for the smartband will double but might not still be enough to meet the high demand.

News reaching us today says the Mi Band 2 will go on open sale in October so that customers can buy all they want when they want it. October is still a long time from now, so customers who wish to wait will have to be extremely patient. Presently, the smartband is not even available on Xiaomi’s website. The Mi Band 2 has an OLED display, is IP67 certified, has a 20-day battery and costs 149 Yuan.

On a side note, owners of the Xiaomi Mi 5 can now pay for bus and train fares using their phones built-in NFC chip. The service is however limited to Shanghai and Shenzen for now.

The post Mi Band 2 Said To Go On Open Sale In October appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi’s Mi Band, which has now been followed by the Mi Band 2, stormed the market with a compact size and cheap price tag, and is arguably regarded as the world’s most successful smart band product with its record performance in the market.

The second generation – Mi Band 2 was released early last month after a long wait occasioned by the company’s desire to ensure the device meets the market demand for the highly sought after smart band. The expected release date was even postponed severally to shore up the available stock.

Despite all these measures, the Mi Band 2 is still very difficult to get in the market. The high demand for the second generation smart band has caused its price to spiral upwards and is currently sold for as high as 229 Yuan.  Bear in mind that the Mi Band 2 launched at 149 Yuan in June 2016.

But now, all that is set to change as Huami has made plans to further increase production of the Mi Band. According to Mr. Huang Wang, CEO of Huami which is the company that produces the Mi Band, production of the Mi Band 2 will be doubled next month but it still won’t be enough to meet the high demand.

Lei Jun, the founder and CEO of Xiaomi, whose brand name the Mi Band carries, also admitted via his Weibo account that even though they had repeatedly increased production, the demand for the Mi Band 2 has not been fully met. Lei further corroborated Huang’s information that the Mi Band 2’s production will be doubled from next month in order to meet demand.

The Mi Band 2 packs a wide array of features which makes it a must have for many, considering the affordable price tag. It has an OLED-display and a touch panel, granting users access to more information about distance covered, time, heart rate, body temperature and many other useful data with just one touch of a finger.

Apart from that the device functions as both a fitness tracker and wristwatch with smart technology which responds to your movements. As soon as you raise your hand, the bracelet will display the current time.

Xiaomi announced the new Mi Band 2 wearable earlier today for an amazing price tag of 149 Yuan which comes to just $22. Now, just a few hours after the band’s release, Geekbuying has started accepting pre-orders for the new device. Of course, you will have to shell out a little premium when buying from the third party retailer, but at $39.99, it still within the reach of many buyers. Remember this is a pre-order for the device and the retailer has listed June 30 as the delivery time. Considering that the band goes on sale in China only on June 7, this seems pretty decent.

As for the features of the device, we have already listed them in detail here. To recap, the Mi Band 2 comes with an anti-allergic, anti-slip strap in black, orange and blue colors. Like its predecessor, its IP67 certified, meaning dust and water proof. The biggest upgrade on the new wearable is the OLED screen on board with a button on top to change modes. This doesn’t really severely affect the band’s battery life, as the company claims that it should run for up to 20 days on a single charge.

You will find the usual activity tracker features such as pedometer, heart rate monitor, steps tracker, sleep monitor, alarm, sedentary vibration alert etc.

You can check out the listing on Geekbuying from the link given below.

After months of rumors and leaks, Xiaomi has officially released the Mi Band 2 wearable, which will succeed the highly popular Mi Band 1S released last year. The new upgrade is important because, for the first time, Xiaomi’s Mi Band series comes with a display on board. It will be a custom OLED display which can display a lot more information than the previous generations which had to rely on the connected smartphone app for these details. So, you can check the heart rate, time, distance, calories, power left etc directly on the screen.

Internally, there are a few upgrades as well. The Mi Band 2 with OLED display comes with a new hardware platform that supports  new sports pedometer algorithm which can effectively understand whether you are walking or sitting idle. So, the accuracy of counting steps should be improved on the new model. Further, the band comes with support for calls, text messages, alarms, 7 different kinds of reminders, sedentary alerts and all these details can be displayed on the screen on top. Also, the company is said to have improved the sleep quality tracking on the new device.

The Mi Band 2 comes with a new strap made out of skin friendly material. Also, given that it now sports a screen, the company increased the battery capacity inside by 55 percent, which means you can still use the wearable up to 20 days on a single charge. Its IP67 certified as well.

In case you are wondering, the pricing is still pretty cheap! The Mi Band 2 with OLED display will retail for 149 Yuan which comes to just $22.65. The band goes on sale on June 7 from Mi.com, JD.com, Lynx and even Suning. Third party retailers should soon pick up the device, so watch out for their listings online.

For the full list of features of the new band, check out this article.

So, what do you think about the new Mi Band 2?

The post Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Officially Released, OLED Display & 20 Day Battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi has officially confirmed the existence of the Xiaomi Mi Band wearable. However, a few days back, Xiaomi CEO revealed that the new band’s release was going to be delayed by around a month due to mass production issues. We had first seen the Mi Band 2 on the hands of the Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun a couple of weeks back. Now, new pictures of the same device have cropped up online revealing more details about the smart band.

Thanks to the earlier leaks, we already knew that the new Mi Band 2 was going to come with a display on board. This new leak again confirms the LED display on the wearable, which now shows a lot more information than previous generation models. Given that the Mi Band and the Mi Band 1S just had indicator lights (white or colored depending upon model), users had to check their connected smartphone for details. But with the display on top, the new wearable can show more details.

So, what information can we expect to see on the LED display of the new Mi Band 2? Today’s leak reveals that the smart band will be able to display the battery left in percentage, steps taken, speed, heart rate and time through its screen. So, you no longer have to check your smartphone app for these details.

While we aren’t sure whether this is the final version of the new band or an engineering prototype, it is said that Xiaomi will keep its price cheap. The Mi Band models sold well because they were super cheap, costing less than $20. So, it makes sense that the new Mi Band 2 comes at a cost-effective price tag as well.

Since the company is facing production issues with the new Mi Band version, we are not quite sure whether we will hear anything about the device at today’s conference.

To remind you, Xiaomi will announce the Max phablet and the MIUI 8 OS at the event today in China. Even Huawei has an event today for the unveiling of the Honor V8 flagship with dual cameras. So, stay tuned to gizmochina as we bring more news in the next few hours.

The post Xiaomi Mi Band 2 With Display Detailed In A New Set Of Pictures appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi has confirmed that it will be announcing the Xiaomi Max phablet in May in China. However, the company is also expected to announce MIUI 8 as well as the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 wearable at the event. We have seen the new band a couple of times in pictures, and I am sure everyone is excited to meet the new wearable.

However, we have some bad news today.

Today evening, Huami CEO, Huang Wang, revealed via his weibo account that the mass production of the Mi Band 2 was facing problems. This meant that the company couldn’t manufacture the new band in large quantities which is a must for a product like this. Xiaomi’s products are highly popular in China, so in the absence of the availability of stock in large quantities, online sales would be a disaster.

Even Xiaomi’s CEO has confirmed the delay in the release of the new Mi Band 2. He revealed via his Weibo account that increasing the production of the Mi Band 2 wearable was difficult at the moment, which is why he estimates that the new band will be released around a month later. So, if you were keeping high hopes for getting the new wearable from Xiaomi anytime soon, you may be disappointed.

We have already seen the new Mi Band 2 in real life pictures. It will be an upgrade to the earlier generation model with a display on board. The band should also feature a heart rate sensor like the Band 1S.

So, are you disappointed to hear that the Mi Band 2 is delayed?

The post Bad News Folks, Mi Band 2 Wearable Won’t Be Meeting Us Soon appeared first on Gizmochina.

Along with the Xiaomi Max, we can expect to meet the Xaiomi Mi Band 2 as well as the new MIUI 8 OS at the May 10 event. However, we still haven’t received any official confirmations from the company regarding the existence or the launch of a Mi smartwatch. But that just changed today, as Liu De, the co-founder and Vice President of Xiaomi revealed at a conference in Beijing that the Mi smartwatch does exist and is ready!

He further added that the company will announce the wearable in the second half of 2016, which means sometime after May. It looks like the launch of the smartwatch has been slightly delayed as the CEO of Huami, the company which actually manufacturers the Mi Band had revealed the Mi Band as well as the Mi smartwatch will meet us in Q2 2016. After hearing Liu De’s comment today, it looks like the watch will most likely debut only after a few months.

This is the first time the company has acknowledged the existence of the Mi smartwatch. This comes just after the company released a new smartwatch for kids priced at just 299 Yuan ($46). So, it looks like the company has quite the interest in the wearable industry. Not surprising given that it’s Mi Band wearable is doing so well.

He also revealed that the company currently is not planning to release automobiles, unlike rivals such as LeEco. Instead, it is interested in products catering to the needs of short travel, so we can expect products such as electric bikes and self-balancing walking robots like Ninebot. Finally, he said that the company would focus on establishing offline outlets this year. He also gave a figure, so we can expect around 60 such outlets by the end of the year.

Given that an executive has already confirmed the existence and launch of the Mi smartwatch, we can soon expect more details about the wearable in the coming days. Meanwhile, let’s wait and see what Xiaomi has in store for us for the next Mi Band version on May 10.

Till that time, you can check out the details revealed by Huami CEO, Wang about the two wearables from here.

The post Xiaomi Official Confirms Mi Smartwatch Launch In Second Half Of 2016 appeared first on Gizmochina.

According to new rumors, the Xiaomi Max will come in two versions. The top-end variant will be powered by the Snapdragon 820 chipset and there will be other features to play around as well. For example, the phablet is said to come with an all metal body with a fingerprint sensor. Now, while the company hasn’t revealed any features of the device, it is rumored that this could be Qualcomm’s Ultrasonic sensor. If true, it would join the likes of a few handsets announced that come with this sensor like the Le Max Pro and Le Max 2. Other rumored features of the Xiaomi Max include 3D Touch like pressure sensitive display with a lot more options than Apple’s iPhone 6S Plus.

It is said that Xiaomi could be planning to call the high-end version as the Xiaomi Big and the standard version as Xiaomi Max. Further, it is rumored that a Redmi phablet is also in the works and could end up being called as the Redmi Note 4.

So, this was about the high-end Xiaomi Big. But what about the standard version? This particular model should most likely feature a less powerful processor like the Snapdragon 650, as revealed by a recent GFXBench listing. Other features are unknown but considering the chip inside, it should be mid-range.

Remember that most of the details leaked today come via rumors, so take this with a pinch of salt.

Xiaomi will officially unveil the Max, Mi Band 2 and MIUI 8 on May 10. So, looks like its going to be a busy day for Chinese tech fans.

Stay tuned for more details.
