On May 31 when Xiaomi announced the Mi Band 3 alongside the Mi 8, the event was full of surprises. First was the Mi 8 Explorer edition with a cool translucent rear panel. The company also announced an NFC version of the Mi Band 3 which can power cardless payments on compatible platforms. It took a long while after its launch for the Mi Band 3 NFC version could become available to buy but it is presently in use. Xiaomi has now announced a new update for the NFC version. 

The new update brings two new features, one of which is support for Chang’An card. The card is a universal electronic toll collection system in use in the city of is Xi’an and can be used to pay for various services in the city including utility bills. The second feature is the ability to add a blank NFC card. This would allow the card to be used by a third-party elsewhere.

Apart from these new features, the Mi Band 3 NFC version can be used for contactless payments using Mi Pay in China. Apart from Mi-Pay, the version can be used for bus card and subway ticket payment. The bus card feature will be enabled for use in 167 cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Tianjin, and several others. Xiaomi released the list of the first batch of bus credit cards that are supported and they are eight in all for now. The NFC version is also compatible with non-Xiaomi NFC smartphones and may likely work with other NFC compatible platforms outside China.

UPDATE:

We decided to check out whether this is indeed the case with the Mi Band 3. Our writers Jed, Habeeb, and Michele tested their Mi Band 3’s HR sensor on a tissue paper roll. Jed was able to get the reading pretty quickly and consistently on his Mi Band. Habeeb found it harder to get a reading from a tissue roll on his Mi Band 3, but even he managed to get a reading a few times. Finally, Michele’s Mi Band 3 didn’t register any readings, until he decided to gently tap the tissue paper roll (to mimic heartbeats). We believe other soft objects like a cloth could also register a heart rate reading on the new Mi Band. It seems as if the wearable picks up minute vibrations from the tissue roll and registers them for heartbeats.

You can check out the videos from Jed and Habeeb down below.

https://youtu.be/Q2HmL-SDoZs

It looks like only some Mi Band 3 models are affected by this issue. This might not be a deal breaker for most customers but it goes on to show how we can’t rely on inexpensive wearables like the Mi Band 3 for an accurate HR reading. Do let us know if you could get a HR reading from your Mi band 3 on a tissue roll.

Xiaomi launched the Mi Band 3 in May this year as a successor to the highly-successful Mi Band 2. Despite the success of the Mi Band 2, there were a couple of flaws, one being the inability of the heart rate monitor to track the heart rate reading of users with coloured skin. While that flaw has been fixed on the Mi Band 3, the credibility of the heart rate sensor is presently under scrutiny after a shocking discovery.

That discovery was made by some netizens who discovered that the Mi Band 3 can actually come out with a reading when strapped to a tissue paper. In order not to jump into a hasty conclusion, I carried out the same test with my Mi Band 3 and indeed a reading was obtained while it is strapped to a roll of tissue paper. This is unusual since the heart rate sensor is supposed to take the reading of the heart rate and the tissue paper is a non-living thing. Most smart bands and watches use light to track your blood. How it works is that an LED illuminates your capillaries and then a sensor adjacent to the light measures the frequency at which your blood pumps past. This is the heart rate measured in beats per minute (BPM).

This isn’t a general problem as a photo of a smartwatch that looks like a Fitbit Versa (we’re not sure) strapped on the tissue paper roll was also shared. The smartwatch didn’t come out with a reading just as it shouldn’t. That doesn’t mean the Mi Band 3 is alone in this boat. Most of the smart bands around come out with spurious readings that are nowhere near accurate. If you own the Mi Band 3 or any other smart band, you can please try this same test and reach us with the outcome via the comment section.

The Mi Band 3 became available in China shortly after it was launched on May 31 and that has been so since then. The wearable is even shipping abroad thanks to third-party online retailers with the price almost competing with the 199 yuan price tag it adopts in China. Despite the rampant available, the Mi Band 3 has not been completely available. That is because Xiaomi is yet to release the NFC version into the market in China or elsewhere, almost two and a half month after its launch.

As you would recall, the Mi Band 3 was announced to have two models, a Bluetooth version and another version with NFC alongside Bluetooth connectivity. For those who may not know, NFC means Near Field Communication and it refers to a set of communication protocols that allow two electronic devices to establish communication when they are within 4cm of each other. With this feature, the Mi Band 3 can be used for contactless payments using Mi Pay in China. Since it only supports Mi Pay, its use may be limited.

Even its use in China isn’t an easy ride as Xiaomi has hinted that the NFC version is still being tested. The company first shared a picture of the Mi Band 3 with the Bus payment interface on the OLED display and a black strap on August 10. A second picture was shared on Tuesday but this time the Band 3 has a light brown strap. The picture still shows the Mi Pay door card logo with a rider that it is still being tested. The bus card feature will be enabled for use in 167 cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Tianjin, and several others. The version is compatible with non-Xiaomi NFC smartphones.

We have no doubt that the model will be released soon but no idea when that will happen. We also can’t say if the version will be useful outside China. We’ll keep you posted whenever it is released, though.

The device will eventually be sold for 169 yuan (~$26). Of course, that will be its price in China but it is still impressive considering that it is just a tad higher than the Mi Band 2’s price.

On 31st May, Xiaomi is all set to launch its flagship smartphone Mi 8, MIUI 10, as well as its next-generation fitness tracker — Mi Band 3.

Now, Xiaomi’s official account on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo has teased a new feature of the fitness tracker. In the post on Weibo, the Chinese firm wrote that the fitness tracker will come with a “new touchable ___”.

While the company has not revealed what the feature is, it seems that the company is hinting at touchscreen OLED display. There’s a possibility that in its efforts to upgrade the fitness tracker, Xiaomi has opted to adopt a new OLED panel with a touchscreen display on the Mi Band 3.

It is known that the Mi Band 3’s wristband has been redesigned to ensure that the tracker doesn’t fall off from the strap, which a lot of users complained about for its predecessor. However, the appearance of the device seems to be similar to the Mi Band 2.

It seems that the screen size of this upcoming fitness tracker is bigger than its predecessor and the recently shared image of the Mi Band 3 by Xiaomi indicates that the screen will be more convex than the screen on Mi Band 2.

We are expecting the fitness tracker to come with improved tracking for sports activities as well as sleep, heart rate, and other health-related information. Further, it is also expected to provide notifications and other functions once the device is connected to a smartphone.

Previous reports have claimed that the Mi Band 3 will come equipped with a touchscreen display and it will carry for gesture-based actions like long-press and swiping up and down for performing various tasks. There is no confirmation on whether it will be coming with a color display.

Further, reports have revealed that the fitness tracker will come equipped with an IP67 certified chassis and removable strap. The Mi Band 3 is likely to carry support for Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC.

Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun was spotted during the Black Shark gaming phone launch wearing a fitness band that looked like the Mi Band 2 but bigger. The fitness band was suspected to be the Mi Band 3 which the company is expected to release soon but we were just not sure about that. Well, Lei Jun has now confirmed that the smart band was indeed the Xiaomi Mi Band 3! So, we have been looking at the next-gen smart band all this while without realizing it.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 in question looks like the pebble shape of the Mi Band 2 with the strap designed in the same way except that it is inserted and removed from the top. However, the dimension would likely be different. The device looks a lot bigger than the Band 2 and the screen has a convex shape. Lei Jun also hinted that he had the opportunity of testing the smart band for up to three months and that the user experience is far more than what the previous two generation models offer.

It is already confirmed that the Mi Band 3 will be launched along with the Mi 8 0n May 31. That day is billed to be a feast of some sort for Xiaomi and her fans ass the company will celebrate its 8th anniversary with a flurry of new awesome products. We expect the Mi Band 3 to be worth the two-year wait. For one, Xiaomi should have fixed the skin tone-sensitive heart rate monitor issue with the Mi Band 2 which makes it unable to read the heart rate of black people and also the OLED display which becomes dim over time.

May 31 will be the day of Xiaomi’s 8th anniversary and CEO Lei Jun has already announced that the company will unveil a new variety of products at the event. Given that it will be the most important day for the company in 2018, we can expect great surprises. However, the Chinese giant did not confirm all the products which will be unveiled on May 31.

Below, we have compiled a list of products we expect to see at Xiaomi’s anniversary event on May 31.

Xiaomi Mi 8

The leading star of the event will be the flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 8. Even though Mi 6 is the latest flagship from the Mi series, the company has reportedly decided to skip the Mi 7 and launch the Mi 8 in order to celebrate its 8th anniversary with a dedicated device. Xiaomi Mi 8 will surely affect the sales of the Mi Mix 2S as it will be an outstanding flagship with the best technologies ever implemented on a phone by the Chinese hi-tech giant. Note that the company has already confirmed the arrival of the Mi 8 through an official teaser, so we are not talking about simple rumors. Besides being powerful, the Mi 8 is also expected to be innovative. According to rumors, it will feature an in-display fingerprint reader and a 3D facial recognition system which will be similar to Apple’s Face ID found on the iPhone X.

This system is tipped to adopt a depth sensor for a tridimensional recognition of the face of the user. Under the hood, Xiaomi Mi 8 will surely boast an octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset by Qualcomm: the best processor by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. The SoC should be accompanied by up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Xiaomi smartphones from the Mi series have always been compact devices, but the Mi 8 will not be, at least from what leaks suggested. It is expected to pack a 6.01-inch display with a Full HD+ resolution, but there will be a bezel-less design so that the dimensions will not be excessive. Xiaomi Mi 8’s listing price is expected to start from 2799 Yuan in China, which roughly translates into $316/€372. This price refers to the configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, while the one with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM is rumored to cost 3199 Yuan.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3

Xiaomi is also pegged to launch the new Mi Band 3 in its 8th anniversary event which will be held on May 31. Two years have passed since the company showcased its latest fitness tracker Mi Band 2 for the first time. Since then, the Mi Band 2 has always been the best-selling wearable to monitor fitness, even though it is just a cheap smart band with limited features. Xiaomi Mi Band 3 was recently spotted at the wrist of Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun during the announcement event of Black Shark, that is the first gaming smartphone from the company. According to the latest leaks and speculations, the design of Xiaomi Mi Band 3 will not be so different from the one of the Mi Band 2. The wristband will feature a slightly bigger display and improved features. There will still be a heart rate sensor behind the display, but on Xiaomi Mi Band 3 it will be able to do real-time heart rate monitoring so that when the user is in danger the smart band can alert him. Further, the heart rate stats feature on the Mi Fit app should get an update. Sleep monitoring should be improved as well with different depths of sleep supported, and Mi Band 3 should also include a barometer to monitor different sporting activities.

MIUI 10

Xiaomi will take advantage of May 31 event to launch the latest iteration of its custom user interface MIUI 10. According to the official poster which has just confirmed the arrival of MIUI 10 on May 31’s anniversary event, the new user interface will be faster than lightning. This makes us understand that the development team has put a lot of efforts on optimizing system performance in order to make the UI fast and smooth even though it has tons of features unlike a stock and light version of the operating system. Xiaomi Mi 8 will reportedly be released with MIUI 10 preinstalled, and if so, the user interface will be surely based on Android Oreo. MIUI 9.5 is the latest update released for Xiaomi handsets and MIUI 10 will not be available for Xiaomi phones which run an Android version older than Marshmallow.

There are also rumours about Surge S2 chipset making its debut at this event, but details are scarce at the moment.

The post What To Expect From Xiaomi’s Anniversary Event On May 31 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is expected to be unveiled soon, perhaps at the launch event scheduled to hold on May 31 at Shenzhen, China. Xiaomi has already revealed the existence of a successor fitness band to the Band 2 which was released in 2016. The Mi Band 3 was even spotted in the hands of Lei Jun during the Black Shark Gaming phone launch.

If you have had cause to order a Xiaomi product from China, you’ll agree that the user manuals are always in Chinese. So most times, foreign users rely on YouTube videos and reviews for directions on how to use the products. The Mi Band 3 isn’t going to be different. We know so because the user manual for the third-generation Mi fitness tracker has leaked online. The user manual is written in Chinese but we can pick up some details about the sports band from the accompanying sketches.

From the pictures, we can gather that the Mi Band 3 installation is basically similar to its predecessors. The fitness tracker is removable from the strap and is inserted into the strap in a pattern  similar to the one used for the Band 2. In addition, the device will use a similar charging cable as that of the Band 2. The shape of the pebble-shaped tracker on the sketch isn’t the same with the Mi Band 2. Compared to the second generation sports band, the display of the Mi Band 3 is more rounded, and the screen is obviously more convex. The Band 3 may likely come in a slightly bigger size so, we may not be possible to swap charging cables with the Band 2. The Band 3 comes with the same round-shaped home button found on the Band 2 but the screen seems to be touch sensitive. Looks like there are various functions that get activated when the screen is swiped up, down, left or right.

Before now the device has received Bluetooth certification showing it will have Bluetooth 4.2 technology. The Mi Band 3 is also expected to come with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof buil d as well as NFC and gesture support.

The Mi Band 3 has been in the news lately with Xiaomi said to be prepping the device for launch. A couple of leaks have emerged pointing at the likely features the next-generation Xiaomi fitness band would pack. Xiaomi VP Wang Xang had also confirmed that the next-gen fitness tracker will launch this quarter. Now, we may just have spotted the first real photo of the Mi Band 3  adorning the hand of no less a person than Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO.

The photo of Lei Jun was captured during the launch of the Blackshark Gaming phone which Xiaomi has vested interest. On his left hand is a fitness band which looks very much like the Mi Band 2 except that it is bigger. There are speculations that this the Mi Band 3 but we can’t say for sure. This could as well be a fitness band from another manufacturer but we seriously doubt that.
