The new Xiaomi product will be on the market (in China) starting from the next November 11 and the original price will be around the dollars 15.
Obviously it will take a little more time before the most popular resellers (see on our forum) have availability and you can therefore also buy from Italy and, as we obviously know, the price will be slightly higher (also take into account that by now the Euro / Dollar exchange rate is very close to the 1: 1 ratio).

As we can see the new Mi Band 1S is slightly thicker to accommodate the new sensor that must be in contact with the wrist but with the exception of this and small variations in size and weight is almost identical to the predecessor.
It also changes the charging cable, redesigned for Mi Band 1S and, of course, we will have available the functions for managing heart rate data on the Mi Fit application that will soon be available in Italian in the official version. MIUI Italy. Also very likely (we have not yet had the opportunity to test) you can use the same straps of the previous version, as they are already equipped with the opening on the bottom necessary for the protrusion of the Mi Band 1S sensor.
