Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, is not new to the smart band market. However, its sub-brand, Redmi is. A couple of days ago, Redmi unveiled its first smart band which is Xiaomi’s cheapest smart band. The Redmi smart band comes with a 1.08-inch large-screen colour display with 14 days of long battery life. It supports professional sports and health monitoring, calls, WeChat reminders, and Alipay offline payment. It also supports smartphone music playback and other functions.
This smart band is currently on crowdfunding and its price is only 95 yuan ($13). The Redmi smart band comes with a different design from the “round” Xiaomi Mi Band 4. Its 1.08-inch TFT colour screen supports adjustable brightness. Users can receive timely reminders of incoming calls, WeChat, QQ, SMS, etc. through the band.
Redmi smart band comes with some cool features
Unlike the Xiaomi band, the Redmi band uses a quick-disconnect USB in-line charging method. It does not require any charging adapter. Users only have to remove the wrist strap and plug it into the USB port to recharge. Two hours of charge can give up to 14 days of battery life. In addition, the Redmi smart band supports 5ATM professional-grade waterproof. This means that it can be used underwater, in the rain and other aquatic environments.
