Apr. 3, 2020Redmi Band: Specs and Features
Starting off with the design, Redmi Band closely resembles the popularHonor BandandRealme Band. The pill has now been replaced with an integral central unit, which comes equipped with the charging mechanism – similar to the aforementioned bands. You can simply pull off the straps and plug the central unit into a USB-A port to start charging your Redmi Band.
Redmi Band features a bigger 1.08-inch color LCD touchscreen in comparison to the 0.95-inch AMOLED panel onMi Band 4. The rectangular design, as opposed to the previous-gen rounded pill, now gives the company more area to work with. You will find over 70 watch faces to choose from, along with four colors (black, blue, olive, and red) for the strap.Image Courtesy:Weibo
Though NFC is missing onboard, which is understandable at this price point, you do get a heart rate sensor for keeping track of your heart rate and sleeping cycles. There’s a slew of sport modes such as outdoor running, treadmills, walking, cycling, and others baked into this fitness band. You also get sedentary alerts, reminders, and more in tow as the software remains the same as Xiaomi’s Mi Band.
Finally, the company promises abattery life of 14-dayson a single charge, which is not at all bad for a budget fitness tracker. This is something we will have to test out to know better. Redmi Band is not only the first Redmi-branded wearable but it is also the most affordable wearable from Xiaomi to date.
TheRedmi Band has been priced at 99.99 yuan(around Rs. 1,099). But, It will first go up for crowdfunding from April 9, at an introductory price of 95 yuan (around Rs. 999), in China. There is currently no word on whether the Redmi Band will land in India or not but we hope it does. We are really looking forward to testing it out.
Editor’s Note: Article updated to reflect that Redmi Band has an LCD screen and not an AMOLED screen. We regret the error.
