One of the most popular Xiaomi products
includes their fitness bands. Xiaomi is a brand that aims to give more value to
the user. And hence, their fitness bands are inexpensive even though they are
full of features. The latest fitness band is the Mi Band 5 which was launched
recently in China. Unfortunately, Xiaomi doesn’t sell their Mi Bands officially
in the US. But good news has popped up which suggests that the Mi Band 5 is
coming in the US.
The manufacturer behind the fitness bands
is Huami which is operating in the US. You may have heard the name “Amazfit”
before, that belongs to Huami. And the Mi Band 5 is expected to be re-branded
and launch as Amazfit Band 5 in the US. According to the report by Android
Authority, Amazfit Band 5 has gone through FCC certification which hints at the
US launch. There are also other hints, such as the presence of a successor to
Mi Band 4 in Amazfit application.
The FCC not only gives us a hint at an
upcoming fitness band but also approves that the Amazfit Band 5 is actually the
Mi Band 5. The poster by FCC shows some specifications of Amazfit Band 5 which
are also present on Mi Band 5. Water-resistant, continuous heart rate,
multisport mode are to name a few. For the European markets, we can expect a
global version of Mi Band 5 to launch soon. If you’re excited about this
upcoming budget-oriented fitness band, then let me give you the specifications
overview.
Mostly, we get a tiny display on fitness
trackers which look awful. But the Mi Band 5 comes at a 1.1-inches display,
which isn’t huge but still bigger than the competitors. What makes the display
even special is the punchy colors. Thanks to AMOLED display on the Amazfit Band
5, you’ll get punchy and vibrant colors which believe me is a lot better than a
regular display.
Talking about the customization, there are
multiple skins. and they are not like any other. Your fitness band can have
Spongebob Squarepants or Neon Genesis Evangelion’s face. The fitness band also features improved sleep
tracking and blood oxygen tracking. As well as women’s health and PAI scoring
system. Moreover, NFC and voice assistant also comes with the Mi Band 5. All
the things are led by the 125mAh battery which is said to rock 14-day battery
life.
The release date and pricing for Amazfit
Band 5 is not confirmed yet. Although you can expect a US$ 30-US$ 35 price tag for
the Amazfit Band 5.
