The upcoming Xiaomi Mi Band 5 has just appeared in first real-life images. Based on this information, the Mi Band 5 will not stray away too much from its predecessor, in terms of the design.
Those of you who have used a Mi Band fitness tracker in the past, will be right at home. The jump from Mi Band to Mi Band 2 was the biggest, as the company added a display.
This leak confirms that the device will keep its egg-shape, and that it will include a capacitive home key once again. It will feature a 1.2-inch display, allegedly, and that will be a color display.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 will be made out of plastic, real-life images report
The device will, once again, be made out of plastic. It will charge in a similar charger as before, as it will come with pogo pin connectors. That charger will look somewhat different this time around, though, but it will function the same.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 will once again ship inside a silicone band, at least according to these real-life images. Chances are that its battery life will be great once again, as you should be able to go for weeks without a charge.
The source notes that the device will cost around CNY200. That translates to $28, in case you were wondering. So, you can expect a similar price as for its predecessor. Its price tag in Europe will be a bit higher than in China, of course.
A previous report, the one that surfaced last week, shared some more information about this device. The Mi Band 5 will offer Amazon Alexa support, allegedly, and also SpO2.
Those will be the biggest upgrades in terms of features, it seems. It was also reported that this fitness band will probably arrive at the end of June, or in early July.
An NFC chip will be included
The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 is expected to include an NFC chip, at least in its global variant. It will offer a number of fitness-centric features, of course, including the Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI).
The Xiaomi Mi Band fitness trackers managed to become quite popular over the years. That is not exactly surprising considering Xiaomi’s branding, and their extremely affordable price point.
The Mi Band 5 is expected to continue that tradition, as it will be quite affordable as well. We’re expecting to see more leaks as the release date comes closer.
This fitness tracker will become official in China first. It will ship to a number of regions around the world, though, same as its predecessors.
