Despite the fact that the wearable market has not yet come to its fullest expansion, some companies have succeeded in making products that have already entered history because of their popularity. As you will understand, we are referring to Xiaomi and its Mi bands and Mi Band Pulse.
The main feature of these wearables that, in a certain sense, many have considered a defect, is the absence of the display. Not having a screen available, it is true that the user's interaction with him is penalized but, on the other hand, the energy consumption is significantly lower allowing a much higher autonomy.
Moreover, Xiaomi has studied Mi Band and Mi Band Pulse not so much to be used for interaction with notifications, applications etc. Instead, Xiaomi's thinking was to focus more on fitness and long autonomy. For this reason it is absolutely wrong to consider the Mi band as a smartwatch but it is more appropriate to consider it a smartband.
To quantify the success and popularity achieved by this wearable, we remind you that the number of units sold (combining the first and second generation) is 18,5 million | Xiaomi sold over 18,5 million of Mi Band |. Recall also that the list price chosen by the Chinese giant is 14 euro (at the exchange rate), the main reason for the great success achieved.
Before leaving, we want to remind you that the new generation of Mi Band and the first real smartwatch are expected soon! Soon the Xiaomi smartwatch and the 2 Mi Band will be available |.
