Yesterday, ZTE held a launch event for the Blade Vec 4G and Grand SII LTE in Hong Kong. In addition to the aforementioned products, they also launched their Blu Ray armband, the ZTE Grand Band.

The Grand Port uses Blu Ray 4.0 connection and supports phones that use iOS or Android 4.3 and above. Not only could it tell the time but it can also measure and record your pulse. The wearer can also receive weekly health reports. Furthermore, the Grand Band is available in many different colors.

ZTE has not yet announced a price for the Grand Bund but might hit the Chinese market next month. As of now, they have not announced any plans for an overseas release.

The MiBand can set the best exercise objectives for us using personal information that we can input into the phone such as our sex, age, height, and weight.

The MiBand can be connected to the Mi phone via Blu Tooth connection. We can open the MiBand App and connect the phone to the MiBand when they are in close proximity.  The problem with many smart wearable devices is that they do not last long. The MiBand, on the other hand, can last for 30 days before it needs to be charged.

After toying with it tonight, I will have to say that I am very impressed with the Xiaomi MiBand. Not only does it cost 79 RMB but it has some pretty impressive high-tech features such as an alarm clock, smart lock, etc. There were a few problems such as the fact that it can only work with the MiPhone. Other than that, I am happy with it.
