A few days ago a rather big leak suggested
that the upcoming Mi Band 5 from Xiaomi will be a feature-packed smart band
with plenty of improvements such as a bigger 1.2" screen. Well, some of
the rumors are kind of confirmed with the live images that just surfaced.
The seemingly live photos of the band
reveal a sensibly bigger screen than before along with a new charger, which is
now with a "plug-in" type of design. The body itself doesn't seem to
have changed all that much except that it looks flatter than before. It could
be due to the angle of the photos, but the curves don't seem all that
pronounced compared to the Mi Band 4.
Anyway, the leakster on Weibo also
suggests that the price of the band would be close to CNY 200 (US$ 28), probably
a bit higher than this. Not far from what we are used to, though.
