Xiaomi
Mi Band 1S
The Xiaomi Mi Band 1S
is now official. You do not get a screen, which means that you
will be relying on the display of the smartphone you pair the device with. The
Mi Band 1S will work with iOS and Android. It also sports an IP67 rating, which
means it can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water for as long as 30 minutes.
The Mi Band 1S will
track your heart rate and the quality of your sleep. The wearable also counts
the number of calories you've burned during exercise, and measures the number
of steps you've taken. It unlocks your Xiaomi phone and vibrates to alert you
that a notification has been sent to your handset.
Thanks to the unveiled
Mi Band 1S, the original Mi Band is now just US$ 11. By last Summer, Xiaomi had
shipped more than 6 million units of the device. That was good enough for
Xiaomi to be the second largest wearables manufacturer in the world at the
time, according to IDC, with a 24.6% market share.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 1S
measures 37 mm x 13.6 mm x 9.9 mm. It weighs 5.5 grams. The wearable will
available to to be purchased starting on November 11th.
