Every time a Xiaomi wearable is presented, whether it is the Mi Band series or the AmazFit products, the interest in these gadgets skyrockets so much that it becomes really difficult to find an example. In particular, the queen of fitness bands remains the Mi Band, now in its fourth generation, which has made considerable progress in terms of design, hardware and functionality, among all the color display. Precisely this fitness tracker has recorded millions of units sold and above all substantial periods of unavailability on the markets due to the high demand from users.
One thing that has particularly disappointed users, at least those belonging to markets outside China, is the presence of the NFC module which unfortunately cannot be exploited in our latitudes. We recall for example the AmazFit Verge, but also the Mi Band 3 which used the NFC module only through a mod but which did not allow all the features reserved for Chinese users only. Well, things for the future Mi Band 5 could change, as the use of the NFC chipset could also be extended to global users.
Mi Band 5: the NFC module will also work in Europe
According to the latest rumors, Xiaomi is therefore considering the possibility of marketing the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 NFC with precisely the possibility for the end user to exploit the full potential of wireless technology., i.e. it would mean that it could be used for electronic payments via services such as Google Pay, but also being able to be combined with functions such as opening smart locks, etc.
Huami will always be the partner company for the creation of the new wearable, which this time should take on a more rugged appearance, resistant for longer and above all against shocks. These are only micro advances, as it will be necessary to wait for the release at least towards the end of Q2 2020. Until then there will be many leaks and rumors that will accompany the coming of the future Mi Band 5 and we will not fail to tell you about them, so stay tuned tune in to our blog.
