New Delhi: Xiaomi is soon going to launch its popular and affordable fitness band, the Mi Band 2. The company’s CEO Jun Lei has confirmed the launch on June 7 in a Q&A session that was held on the Mi Drone launch.
Earlier, Lei had passed a hint of the band, which was actually expected to launch on May 10 when the company announced the Mi Max and MIUI 8.
The new version of the Mi band expected to see many alterations. The Mi Band 2 is expected to sport a LED display screen and a physical button. Rumors reveal that the device sticks into a rubber strap, which is expected to be available in different colour variants.
It is also expected to come with a heart-rate sensor, something which the previous Mi band missed.
Ever since the company first launched its fitness tracker, a large number of fitness wearable devices have entered India. But the pricing was a huge factor for the popularity as the original Mi Band is available at a low price of just Rs 999.
Recently, Xiaomi also launched a new health-tracking device - iHealth Box. The device measures blood pressure and heart beat, and connects to the phone via Wi-Fi. It has a 4.3-inch colour screen and costs CNY 399, translating to about Rs 4,000.
Also Xiaomi unveiled its Mi Drone in China. Two variants were announced, one that shoots 1080p videos, and another that has the ability to shoot 4K videos. The price is CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 26,000) and CNY 2,999 (roughly Rs. 31,000) respectively.
