Xiaomi has brought the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 and the Xiaomi Mi Band 3
NFC version. At present, the former model is available for purchase, but the
NFC version has not gone on sale yet. What’s more annoying, there is no certain
information about when it will happen. Today, the Xiaomi bracelet officially
said that the Mi Band 3 NFC version was tested through a Lingnan Tong bus card
function.
By the way, Lingnan Tong is a smart card designed
for paying the travel fares in the buses, metro, taxis, intercity rail transits
and ferries in Guangdong. It is also used for payment at convenience stores,
supermarkets, on-street parking meters and car parks. It is to be developed for
compatible use with smartcards in Hong Kong and Macao, which will further
facilitate the transportation network in the Pan-Pearl River Delta region.
Compared with the ordinary version, the Xiaomi Mi
Band 3 NFC version adds support for the city bus card function and supports the
bus account recharge payment. At present, according to Xiaomi, our protagonist
will open the bus card functions of 167 cities including Beijing, Shanghai,
Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
In terms of the price, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 NFC
version is priced at 199 yuan (Us$ 29). According to some rumors, it is expected
to be launched in September. P.S. Instead of bringing the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 NFC version, the
company launched the Hey Plus in collaboration with Shenzhen Ruyi Discovery
Technology Co., Ltd. This model looks like the original Mi Band 3 but comes
with a larger screen of 0.95 inches and supports full-NFC.
