Redmi Smartband expectations

Based on the teasers from Redmi, it seems Xiaomi will bring the Redmi Band from the global markets to India. The Redmi Band launched a couple of months ago as the cheapest fitness tracker from Xiaomi. It got all the essential features with a new design and a lower price tag.


The Redmi Band has a 1.08-inch TFT color display with a touch button. The tracker has a 130mAh battery which should return at least two weeks of battery life on a single charge. There’s Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity and it charges via USB port. In India, the Redmi Smartband could be priced extremely competitively. The Mi Band 3i costs Rs 1,299 and Redmi could launch it at a similar price or even lower. Most importantly, it will compete with the Realme Band at Rs 1,499.

Mi Band 5, Mi Watch revolve also expected soon

While the Redmi Smartband has been confirmed, leaks and tipsters suggest that the Mi brand will also launch two new wearables. One of them is the Mi Band 5 with subtle upgrades over the Mi Band 4. The new tracker will get a magnetic charging dock and a slightly bigger OLED display. There’s Alexa integration available as well on the new model.
