Xiaomi‘s Mi Bands are one of the most affordable and popular fitness trackers in many markets. Currently, the company currently offers the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 which was released almost a year ago. However, the next-gen tracker might be on the horizon as leaks have started to surface.

According to a fresh report by XDAdevelopers, the first few features of the upcoming fitness tracker dubbed the Mi Band 7 have been discovered via code found in Xiaomi’s own apps.

These codes indicate that the Mi Smart Band 7 will go by the codename  “L66” and will have model numbers M2129B1 and M2130B1. It will feature a 192 x 490p resolution display with Always On Display support for a few watch faces, and a host of workout modes, ranging from Aerobics to Zumba. The leak has also revealed that the Mi Band 7 could feature built-in GPS support however, the inclusion of this feature still remains doubtful.

The code has further revealed that the Mi Band 7 will include a Smart Alarm feature, which will automatically wake you up from light sleep 30 minutes before your predefined alarm. And last but not the least, the fitness tracker will come with a Power Saving mode to improve battery life.

Currently, there is no word from Xiaomi on the next-gen Mi Band, however, considering that the company debuted the Mi Smart Band 6 at the end of March last year, we are sure to hear more about it in the days to come, so stay tuned.

Xiaomi had announced with their September launch event that the Mi Smart Band 6 NFC will be making its way to Europe. The non-NFC variant of the band has been selling since March but it’s only now that the NFC variant has become available for purchase as well.

The Mi Smart Band 6 NFC brings along on-wrist payment support thanks to a partnership with Mastercard. Mind you, the band is still not available across the entire continent and is limited to Italy, at least for now, where it sells for €54.99 (~$64) on Xiaomi’s Italian store and Amazon Italy (via Notebookcheck).

Xiaomi had previously released the Mi Band 4 NFC as the first NFC-enabled fitness tracker for global audiences, which makes the Mi Smart Band 6 NFC the second. In China, both the NFC and non-NFC variants of the band were made available at the same time.

It is likely that Xiaomi is held back due to a possibly tedious process involved in getting banks to support the NFC-based payment system. Thus, if Xiaomi is indeed planning on making the Mi Smart Band 6 NFC available to more countries in Europe, it is going to take time.

The Mi Smart Band 6 NFC appears to be identical to its non-NFC sibling aside from the addition of the NFC tech. As such, it comes with a 1.56-inch AMOLED display, 5 ATM waterproofing, and a 125 mAh LiPo battery that has been claimed to last up to 14 days. The band also supports Amazon Alexa voice control, PPG heart rate sensor, 30 sports modes, and Bluetooth 5.0.

Xiaomi has scheduled its Smarter Living 2022 event tomorrow at 12 PM in the Indian market. It is slated to be one of the biggest online Xiaomi events to happen in India in 2021. Rumors are rife that the Chinese tech giant will launch multiple products at the event including smart wearables, smart TVs, laptops, and other gadgets.

Ahead of its launch, let’s take a look at what we can expect at the online event. The event will be live-streamed on Xiaomi’s official youtube handle at 12 PM.

Xiaomi Smarter Living 2022 – Products expected at the launch 

Xiaomi Notebook series 

Recently, Xiaomi confirmed that the new Mi Notebooks will launch in the Indian market soon. Mr. Raghu Reddy from Xiaomi revealed that the upcoming Mi Notebook will come with a backlit keyboard.

The company is expected to launch the Mi Notebook 14 and Mi Notebook Ultra 15 at the launch. For starters, these Notebooks have already launched in other regions. The former laptop comes with a 14-inch LCD display with 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Notebook Ultra comes with a 15.6-inch screen size with a 3.5k display resolution and. It

The laptop series has an 11th generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor and has up to RTX 3050Ti processor. It has 1TB of storage and boots on Android 11 out of the box.

Mi Band 6

Xiaomi has already launched the Mi Band 6 in China. Now, it is expected to arrive in India tomorrow. The Mi Band 6 is rumored to cost similarly to the existing Mi Band 5.

It will come with a bigger 1.56-inch AMOLED display with 152 x 486 pixels. It also has 2.5D curved glass on top. It has up to 120 Watch Faces and has a 125W battery.

Mi TV 5X

Xiaomi has scheduled to launch the Mi TV 5x television series tomorrow. The Mi TV 5X is expected to launch in three sizes 43-inch, 50-inch, and 55-inch. It is said to offer Dolby Atmos sound and will be backed up by 40W fast charging.

The laptop series is expected to have a cinematic viewing experience. It has ALLU(Automatic Low Latency Mode). It has a 20W Bluetooth speaker with DTS support.

Mi Shoes, Mi Security camera, Mi Router

Apart from laptops and wearables, Xiaomi is also expected to bring new Security cameras. Unfortunately, there are limited details on which models are exactly launching. But, considering that the launch is just a few hours away, we’ll just sit back and wait for the live event.

Xiaomi may be preparing for the European rollout of the Mi Band 6 NFC, going by details officially provided by the company that the device has been certified in Italy. The Mi Band 6 series was released back in March 2021 in China, and no foreign market has had the NFC version since then.

The two models in the Mi Band 6 series differ only in terms of NFC connectivity. The Mi Band series has often seen a staggered release of the higher model. This was the case with the Mi Smart Band 4 NFC which took about a year for it to be unveiled globally, after the release of the non-NFC version.

The Italian certification most probably indicates that the Mi Band 6 NFC will soon be found in European markets. It may well start with Italy, going by the certification announcement, but would obviously shift to other countries in the region.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 NFC is an elegant smart wearable device with an array of impressive features including various sensors for monitoring vital statistics. It is also possible that the Mi Band 6 NFC will support greater functionality than the Mi Smart Band 4 NFC, which also had support for Mastercard bank cards.

As per pricing, it is still unclear what the price of the Mi Band 6 NFC would be. However, it is expected to be higher than that of the Mi Band 6, which is sold for $44 on Amazon. We expect the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 NFC to be pricier than the $44 tag for the non-NFC version of the smart wearable.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 is available in several regions including its home country China. Now, it is getting a new OTA update that enables a key feature on the fitness tracker.

As reported by Tizenhelp, a new OTA update for Xiaomi‘s new fitness tracker is arriving on the Mi Fit App for users of India and China. This adds the sleep breathing quality feature on the Xiaomi Mi Band 6. If you don’t know, the device supports features like sleep tracking with REM and sleep breathing quality.

Back at the launch, Xiaomi talked about this feature on the Mi Band 6 and said that it monitors your breathing quality while you are asleep. Speaking of which, it also has sleep tracking with REM & non-REM options.

REM sleep is basically sleep occurring at intervals during the night and is characterized by rapid eye movements, more dreaming, faster pulse, breathing, and body movements. If you are too much into your work and your stress level shoots up, you might experience an improper sleep cycle at times.

REM sleep tracking, when combined with the sleep breathing quality, can help you figure out how frequently are you experiencing the discomfort. Anyway, to update the Mi Band 6, ensure that the Mi Fit App is on version 5.0.0.

These aren’t the main feature available on the Mi Band 6. It has more than 130+ watch faces(China), 60+ watch faces(global), 30 exercise modes, 6 auto-detect exercise modes, 24×7 heart rate monitoring(PPG), SpO2(Blood Oxygen measurement).

The device features a 1.56-inch AMOLED display. This 2.5D curved display, 5ATM water-resistance, a 125mAh LiPo battery with up to 14 days battery, NFC(in China), and more.

Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi Smart Band 6 very soon. It has already got certified in India, Indonesia and reports say that it is going to have a larger screen and improved activity tracking. Today, a supposed live image of the fitness tracker has appeared online.

The live image of the Mi Smart Band 6 has been found on the EU Declaration of Conformity page. It is seemingly filed by the partner Huami with which Xiaomi is said to work at least for another three years. Specifically, the image appears under the name Mi Smart Band 6 and model number XMSH15HM.

If you recall, we have already seen this model number in BIS, and Indonesia Telecom listings before. Talking about the image(above), which shows the side look of the device, we see a similar strap and display design like the Mi Smart Band 5. There is a charging cable beside confirming the presence of magnetic charging.

While we can’t be sure that the Mi Smart Band 6 is a ditto of the predecessor, the design of other straps and the pill-shaped display(from the sides) certainly hints at similarities. It is possible that the fitness tracker might retain the design elements from Mi Smart Band 5 whilst sporting a larger display.

The Mi Band 6/Mi Smart Band 6 first appeared on the internet where its existence got leaked on the Zepp app code. This report said that it will have support for Blood Oxygen monitoring(SpO2 sensor), and come with Alexa assistant built-in.

Some other rumors on the specs of the Mi Smart Band 6 include NFC, and non-NFC variants for different markets, built-in GPS, Heart rate Monitoring(PPG), Sleep tracking, 30 activity tracking modes including  Zumba, cricket, basketball, and kickboxing.

The post Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 live image suggests similar design to its predecessor appeared first on Gizmochina.

This is 2021 and going by Xiaomi‘s release cycle for the Mi Band series, the Band 6 is expected to make its debut sometime this year. There is no indication as to when that will happen but the Mi Band 6 has started to feature in leaks.

A Geekdoing forum user MagicalUnicorn has discovered several details on the Zepp app said to be for the Mi Band 6. The Zepp app is Huami’s app for the Amazfit and Zepp smartwatch/fitness band lineup. As you may already know, the Mi Band lineup is manufactured by Huami. The company last year launched the Amazfit Band 5, an Mi Band 5 with some upgrades.

The Mi band 6 is said to bear the codename “Pangu” and will not only come with the same useful features as its predecessor, but it will also bring on board several new features as well as visual improvements.

The device comes with the model numbers XMSH16HM and may likely have NFC and non-NFC versions for the Chinese and global markets. The Zepp app source code revealed data shows that the Mi Band 6 will come with support for Alexa and a SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen measurement.

In addition, the Mi Band 6 is also expected to come with built-in GPS but there are conflicting commands found in the firmware code which disputes this. The leaked watch faces for the Band 6 have a higher resolution than those stored in the Mi Band 5, further suggesting that the fitness band may feature a larger display than the 1.1-inch screen found on the Mi Band 5.

Further, the leaker also discovered that there may be up to 30 activity modes on Band 6 as against 11 models on the Mi Band 5. Some of the new additions include dance, Zumba, cricket, basketball, and kickboxing.

However, we must point out that these features may actually be for the Amazfit Band 6 since the Zepp app is for Amazfit/Zepp products. We already know the Amazfit Band 6 exists as early as August 2020 and that it will have some of the new features spotted on the code such as SpO2 and Alexa support. However, the Mi Band 6 may still share similar features with the Amazfit branded version.

It may still be too early to conclude as we are still several months away from the launch. The Mi Band 5 was launched in June 2020 and this year’s version may also come around that same period.
