Xiaomi has confirmed that the Mi Band 5
will debut on June 11. Rumor has it the smart band will gain a camera remote
control feature letting you use it as a shutter control for your smartphone. It
will also gain a new blood oxygen saturation sensor, Alexa support and NFC that
works outside of China.
The screen will reportedly grow from
0.95" to 1.2" with thinner bezels (possibly fitting in the same
overall form factor). We've also seen the Mi Band 5 and it's new plug-in type
charger. Additionally the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 will be able to track five new
exercise modes - yoga, elliptical machine, rowing machine, indoor cycling and
rope jumping.
