Earlier last week, we learned that Xiaomi will take the wraps off Mi Band 5, its next-gen fitness tracker, in China on June 11. The company only confirmed the name and did not reveal anything about its design or features. Today, however, Xiaomi took to Weibo to give us a first look at the Mi Band 5.
Another minor observation is the new strap design. The solid-color straps will soon be accompanied by dual-colored bands, with a colorful wrist strap (red and yellow shown below) and a black band encasing the pill. It looks more minimal and I would pick the latter over any colorful band any day.
The poster also gives a sneak peek at some of Mi Band 5’s features, including NFC support for payments on the move (carried forward from the Mi Band 4 NFC Edition), multiple sport modes, women’s health suite (new addition), and pressure. I ain’t sure what pressure refers to but we will learn about it in a couple of days.
