Xiaomi‘s Mi Band 5 was announced in China last week but went on its first sale today. The MiBand 5 which is expected to launch for the global market as Mi Smart Band 5 comes in a regular version as well as an NFC version. Unlike previous years, both the regular version and the NFC version were made available at the same time. Reports indicate that the Mi Band 5 NFC version was sold out rapidly after the sales opened.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 arrived with a price tag of 189 Yuan (~$27) while the NFC version is priced at 229 Yuan (~$32). Apparently, most fans are willing to pay a little more to get the NFC version. The presence of NFC is the only difference between the two models. The NFC feature enables contactless payment supporting transportation card, AliPay and UnionPay in China. Outside China, there are rumours of the global variant coming with sport for Google pay and Amazon Alexa.

The Mi Band 5 NFC features a 1.1-inch AMOLED dynamic color display. The device also comes with support for a number of exercise modes now including cycling, jump rope, yoga, elliptical and rowing machine.

The smart band equally features a new pressure assessment, breathing training, PAI index (Personal Activity Intelligence), women’s health tracking and remote shutter control. These features are all absent on the Mi Band 4 and are tailored towards improving our health and lifestyle. In addition, the new wrist band now supports 24-hour sleep monitoring and REM (Rapid eye movements) detection. There is also a new magnetic charging feature onboard.
