So the Mi Band 2 might have a slight delay due to manufacturing reasons, but that doesnât mean we canât see the new Xiaomi wearable now thanks to these latest leaks.
Lei Jun himself was responsible for the first Mi Band 2 leaks we saw a few weeks back. That initial image with Lei Jun showed us that the next generation Mi Band would not only be larger, but also feature an LED display and what looks like a physical button.
New images today show us what information the screen can give the wearer and also show a more detailed look at the new fitness band.
Gizchina News of the week
The second gen Mi Band will slot in to a silicone band, like the current model, and feature an optical heart rate monitor on the rear, and LED screen on the front.
The screen will be able to tell the wearer the time, current heart rate, steps and other simple information. As for that physical button, well in these images that area is even less clear, but we assume its a simple method of getting from screen to screen.

Apparently Xiaomi have managed to keep pricing of the new Mi Band low, with sources close to the project promising that it wonât be expensive.
The final product is expected to launch some time in June, keep posted for more details.
but will it have continuous heart rate monitoring this time?
Previous version already had it. Please check those apps:

that’s not an official app, and by the looks of it still needs to be requested to run – it doesn’t constantly monitor like say the fitbit charge hr does.
still, I’ll check it out anyway, as it might get me by ’til there’s something official. thanks!
Yup it is not the official app. But once You request continuous measuring (or set how often to measure) it will will work until You stop it – and measure conitnuously. I use it with Endomondo for running.
We have new features in beta testing so if You want to have early preview let me know at support@mimhr.com
capoeira and gym for me, so i’ll likely just use google fit.
still hoping the new version will have 24/7 monitoring as standard, though!
I am wondering about life battery time
I hope 2 weeks
Looks great!!
I don’t like it. If the screen is plastic it will have a lot of scratch
Hey Andi here in the Caribbean and pretty much central America we are seeing more and more HYUNDAI phones showing up for sale and such. Even carriers have them. I believe HYUNDAI (I’m kidding, I know they are) Korean, do you guys cover that as well or are lost on our own regarding that??? We do have some brands that are a bit of a puzzle for us regarding origins, quality, reliability, and what not.
