Xiaomi has released a firmware update for its Smart Band 7 Pro, version 1.4.70, bringing several improvements to the device’s features and user experience.

Among the new functions added to the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro are the “Calendar” feature, allowing users to quickly access their schedules and appointments from the band, and the “Turn off watchface Editing” option, which prevents accidental changes to the watch face. The update also includes the “Find your band” feature, enabling users to locate their device through their smartphone and trigger the band’s vibration.

Additionally, the firmware update introduces the “Stat goal switch” function, giving users more control over the stat goal push notifications they receive. The update also optimizes the accuracy of the device’s sleep, calorie, and exercise algorithms, along with improving the overall dial-related experience and fixing other experience-related problems.

The update also adds message notification display icons for more applications and optimizes the weather cache strategy to improve the device’s performance.

However, the “Stat reminder” function has been removed from the update. Xiaomi notes that the 3rd and 4th optimizations require the simultaneous upgrade of the App, which will be released soon.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro features a 1.64-inch HD 2.5D AMOLED touch display with a resolution of 280×456 pixels, 326 PPI, and up to 500 nits of brightness. It is compatible with Android 6.0 and above and iOS 12.0 and above, and supports Bluetooth 5.2 and GNSS systems that include BeiDou, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS.

Other features of the Smart Band 7 Pro include 5ATM water resistance, optical heart rate, and blood oxygen sensors, a six-axis motion sensor, 110+ workout modes, continuous heart rate tracking, continuous blood oxygen saturation monitoring, 24/7 sleep tracking, female health tracking, and smart controls such as music and remote camera control, quick message reply, and incoming call alerts.

The band also has 150+ new band faces with AOD support, a microphone for hands-free Alexa, and a 235mAh battery that offers up to 12 days of battery life with typical usage and charging time of about one hour. It weighs just 20.5g (weight without wrist strap) and has an adjustable length of wrist strap of 130-205mm.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro firmware update version 1.4.70 is available now, and users are advised to update their device and the associated app when prompted.

Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro Global Variant Lacks NFC for Contactless Payments

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:34:17 +0000

The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro was initially launched in China in July. Yesterday, the company announced this wearable for the global markets.

Outside mainland China, it goes by Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Additionally, it also lacks a useful feature.

The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro arrives with NFC as standard in China. Hence, it offers support for contactless payments and transit passes in the region.

But unfortunately, the global variant of the fitness tracker lacks NFC. We expected the product to feature this hardware because Xiaomi released Mi Smart Band 6 NFC in select global markets last year.

This year, the company has neither debuted Xiaomi Smart Band 7 NFC in international markets nor has included NFC in Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Hence, people looking for contactless payments on their fitness trackers will have to buy the older Mi Smart Band 6 NFC.

Perhaps, the firm may bring the NFC variant of Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro later. But as of now, there are no leaks or reports regarding it.

Either way, if you are fine without NFC, the wearable is a good purchase for €99. It offers a 1.64-inch rectangular AMOLED display, heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen level monitoring, sleep tracking, 110+ sports modes, GNSS, 150+ watch faces, 5 ATM water resistance, 12-day battery life, and more.

The company also announced the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. it had debuted in China in July this year and the global variant comes with similar specifications. Read on to know what the wearable device offers out of the box.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro sports a rectangular dial with a 1.64-inch AMOLED display. It has a resolution of 280 x 468 pixels and offers 500 nits brightness. There is an Always-on display feature and more than 180 watch faces. The device is water-resistant up to 5 meters. The Mi Smart Band 7 Pro features a quick-release strap, which is an upgrade compared to the existing replaceable strap.

On the fitness front, the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro is equipped with a heart-rate monitor, SpO2 sensor, and sleep tracker. It offers support for 117 workout modes including 14 professional sports modes and 10 running courses. The wearable device also features a built-in GPS for outdoor activities without the need of a smartphone.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro is powered by a 235mAh battery unit that is said to offer 12 days of usage on a full charge. Other features on the device include NFC, built-in Alexa, controlling smart home devices, and more.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro is priced at EUR 99. It is offered in multiple strap colour options including Ivory, Olive, Orange, Blue, Black, Pink, Pine Green and Moon Gray special edition straps.

Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro may soon launch in Europe

At the Xiaomi 12S series launch event in China, the company debuted Xiaomi Band 7 Pro. The wearable is the first Pro model in the globally popular Xiaomi Band (formerly Mi Band) lineup of affordable fitness trackers. Nearly two months after its announcement, the product may finally release outside mainland China.

According to Xiaomi-focused tipster Kacper Skrzypek, the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro (international branding) has been approved to launch in Europe. It seems to have cleared all the necessary certifications and may debut in the near future.

The variant coming to Europe will bear model number M2141B1. At the moment, it is not known whether this version will have any changes in its specs.

Xiaomi has been selling the Mi Smart Band 6 NFC in Europe since late last year. This version of the fitness tracker arrives with support for contactless payments and Amazon Alexa.

Since Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro comes with NFC and voice control as standard in China, the global variant will most likely retain these features. Hopefully, it does so because, without these two functionalities, the Pro model is basically a large Xiaomi Smart Band 7.

We have reviewed both Xiaomi Smart Band 7 and Xiaomi Smart 7 Pro. You can find the article for the former here and the video for the latter attached at the end of this post.
