Speaking of NFC, this is not the first time we’re seeing a fitness band featuring this function. In fact, Xiaomi recently launched its Mi Band 4 NFC version in the Russian market with Mastercard support. With that said, we should see the same happening with the upcoming gen of bands. With the inclusion of NFC, users will now be able to pay at various outlets using their fitness band. As you can see from the image, one would need to connect the Mastercard to the Mi Fit app to use it.

The Custom DND feature, as the name suggests, will allow you to set DND mode for a particular amount of time instead of the traditional scheduled mode. This means that you can now set your band to DND for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or any custom time limit. This should come in really handy in day to day usage. Lastly, we’re looking at a new watch face that will arrive targeting the Marvel’s Avengers fans. To recall, the band will also come with Amazon Alexa integration, SpO2, camera controller and menstrual cycle functions.
