The Mi Band 5 was launched by Xiaomi on Wednesday for the International market bearing the moniker Mi Smart Band 5. Just a few days after, the Chinese tech giant has now launched the Mi Band 4C in Taiwan. This is coming after the smart band was listed in Indonesia earlier this month.

The Mi Band 4C is the global variant of the Redmi Band which was launched in China in April. It was listed by e-tailer Shopee in Malaysia earlier this month but this is the first official listing by Xiaomi. The Band 4C features a 1.08-inch square-shaped 16-bit colour touch screen display with up to 200 nits brightness and 2D tempered glass. It also packs a decent  130mAh battery that promises up to 14 days of battery life. There is a built-in charging port that plugs into a USB-A port on the charger, laptop or PC so that you don’t have to search for the charging cable. The smart band charges fully in 2 hours.

In addition, the Mi Band 4C comes with the usual heart rate sensor, activity tracker, sleep monitor, sedentary reminder, ap notifications, calls, music playback control and more. It also offers five sports modes: outdoor running, exercise, cycling, treadmill, fast walking. You also get a 5ATM (50 meters) water resistance, similar to the Mi Band 4.

As for the price, the Mi Band 4C is priced at NT$ 495 (~$16). It is available in black colour with four straps colour options of Black, Orange, Green and Blue. The smart band is available to buy on Mi.com in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

After the launch of Mi Band 4 fitness tracker from Xiaomi, people are expecting the Mi Band 5 to be the next fitness band from the company. However, it seems that we’ll see the Mi Band 4C before we get the Mi Band 5.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi recently launched its first fitness tracker in the market, dubbed as Redmi Band. Now, the same product is reportedly set to launch in the Europen market, but under a new name and branding.

As per the reports, the Redmi Band will be launched in Europe as Xiaomi Mi Band 4C which carries model number HMSH01GE. While it is expected to soon go on sale in Europe, there’s no exact date or timing known because of the COVID-19 issues.

To remind you, the Redmi Band comes with a square-shaped 1.08-inch AMOLED Color Touch Screen with 2.5D scratch-resistant tempered glass on the top for added protection. It also comes with support for Bluetooth 5.0 BLE to connect with smartphones.

The fitness tracker can efficiently monitor wearer’s heart rate and delivers accurate pedometer algorithm and daily heart rate changes. It also vibrates every time someone calls or sends a message to ensure you do not end up missing an important call or SMS.

It comes with 5 professional sports modes and supports an intelligent alarm function that wakes you up every morning, and also offers idle alert. It is powered by a battery that offers a 14-day battery life.

In China, the Redmi Band is priced at 99 yuan which is approximately $14 but because of the taxes and market differences, the pricing for the European market is expected to be higher than this. Nonetheless, we expect the price to be aggressive, keeping up with Xiaomi‘s strategy.
