As we already know, Xiaomi plans to launch the 13-series models globally on February 26 as a prelude to the MWC conference. Several sources have stated that the presentation will include the Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro and 13 Lite (global version of the Xiaomi Civi 2) and the "super flagship" Xiaomi 13 Ultra that some leaksters had anticipated will not be launched.
Xiaomi Band 8 already in mass production, should arrive in the first quarter of 2023
In fact, according to the latest revelations, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra could be launched in April or even May in China. At the same time, the 13 Ultra will be accompanied by a little surprise, namely the new Xiaomi Band 8.
The news comes from well-known Indian leakster Mukul Sharma, who just revealed that Xiaomi's new wearable Band 8 is likely to have already been put into mass production, indicating that the official launch is not far off.
In fact, as some of you may remember, the last three generations of the Xiaomi Band were all released in the first half of the year. We therefore have reason to believe that the Xiaomi Band 8 is no exception. Alternatively, it is highly likely that Xiaomi's smart band will be presented in the second quarter of 2023 and could accompany the release of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
As for the characteristics of the new fitness band, if we go to see the past as a point of reference and the upgrades from the Xiaomi Band 6 to the Mi Band 7, it is very likely that among the new changes that can be expected from the Xiaomi Band 8 we will go to find a slightly larger screen, more advanced Bluetooth specifications, longer battery life, more professional and comprehensive sports health tracking and much more. Furthermore, if the brand manages to bring wireless charging to the cheap Band 8 as well, this will certainly be a very useful feature to have.
