Xiaomi recently confirmed May 31 unveiling for its
Mi Band 3 smart wearable device. And now, just a couple of days before the
event, the pricing information for the device has also leaked. Thanks to an
official listing that slipped through the cracks, a CNY 169 (US$ 26) price tag has
been revealed.
For comparison, the Mi Band 2 costed CNY 149. Xiaomi
CEO recently said he has been testing the Band 3 for two-three months, and
found it to be far better than the company's previous two Mi Bands.
The Band 3 is expected to feature a display similar
to its predecessor, but with a 2.5D curved glass covering. Other rumored
changes include no physical button, support for Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC, as well
as IP67 compliance for dust and water resistance.
Recent rumors also suggest gesture support - swipe
up/down to switch functions, and left/right to access different items.
