The leader in the segment of fitness trackers is Xiaomi, whose Mi Bands are popular and sold in millions of copies. The announcement of Xiaomi Mi Band 6 is just around the corner and this weekend the first information about the characteristics of the wearable gadget appeared. Among the innovations was a blood oxygen sensor and support for the Amazon Alexa voice assistant.
Following the news came that the premiere of Xiaomi Mi Band 6 should be expected in June and in a month the bracelet should enter the global market. If we talk about the price, then we are guided by the amount of $ 40. Most likely, this is the price tag for the version without NFC, and the variant with a module for contactless payment can cost $5 more.
Xiaomi Mi Band 6 should be released in two versions, where one will be deprived of the NFC module, but the second will receive it. With a high degree of probability, the company will nevertheless bring a version with NFC to the global market, where this function is in great demand.
The upcoming fitness tracker should get a slightly larger display than the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, as well as built-in GPS and heart rate monitor. Important changes must take place in terms of fitness functions. It is mentioned that the number of workouts will increase to 30.
According to LOGGER, the information of Mi Band 6 was leaked in the Zepp app code. (This is a smartband app.) In the firmware code of this application, the source found the words ‘Mi Band 6’. And there was the CMIIT ID registration number that has passed the China Radio Certification. In addition, the code also shows that the bracelet will also inherit the previous generation product to support NFC function.
In fact, a Geekdoing forum user MagicalUnicorn has shared a number of details about the Mi Band 6. It comes with the codename ‘Pangu’. Well, it seems there are two variants of the band so far: XMSH16HM is the model number for a Chinese version with NFC and XMSH16HM appears to be a model without NFC. The latter is expected to land in both the China and global markets.
