With the company We Band, Xiaomi has revolutionized the term "smartband" in every sense by creating a strong competitor not only from the point of view of autonomy (monthly) but also from the quality / price point of view, proposing it for about ten euros. This small accessory has been classified over time as a real "best buy" obtaining such a reputation as to allow it sales beyond 18,5 million of units | Xiaomi sold over the 18,5 million of Mi Band | and overtaking, in the 2015, the sales of Apple Watch | Xiaomi Mi Band sold more than Apple Watch |.
Focusing on the Mi Band, however, Xiaomi did not give much importance to the creation of her SmartWatch which, as we know, was awaited for last year but has not been heard until today. However, now a new voice about Xiaomi's smartwatch is about to revive our hopes and this voice seems to be also reliable, as it comes from society Huami same. This company, in fact, is the current producer of the Mi Band of Xiaomi and then, in addition to Xiaomi herself, who better than she can know about it ?!
Wang, CEO of Huami, has indeed revealed some details of the new smartwatch but also of the second generation of the Mi Band and, therefore, it seems that this company will take care of the production of both Xiaomi gadgets. Firstly, Wang confirmed that both devices will debut within two months, i.e. by the end of second quarter of the year. Continue saying that the new Mi Band 2 will be equipped with a small one on which the data will be reproduced, eliminating the need to synchronize it with a smartphone to view them (which will still be possible). Another detail about which, however, it is not very certain is that the prefix "Mi" will be abandoned and will be called only "Band 2" but most likely will be replaced by the prefix MiJia | Mi Ecosystem and the first MiJia brand product |. Moving on to the price, it is natural that it will be slightly higher than its previous version, given the presence of a display.
Turning now to the Xiaomi smartwatch, Wang has confirmed that it really exists and that as for the Mi Band 2 it will make its debut by the end of Q2 of this year. Of course, it will have a larger display than the Mi Band 2 and will have a "special features”Which most likely refer to the user's biometric values. However, after these two information, Huami's CEO did not pronounce himself further, leaving no little suspense and greatly encouraging expectations.
The idea of having a display that shows the data detected by the Mi Band is not to be rejected, on the contrary, I think it is indispensable and much more useful than you think, the important thing is not to penalize the battery life too much than even with a ' weekly autonomy is to be appreciated. Furthermore, the existence of a Xiaomi smartwatch can only represent a turning point for the world of wearables, especially if it follows the good economic policy that Xiaomi has us used to having from the beginning. We will certainly hear more about it and we will keep you updated promptly.
