In the last few days we have been talking about Xiaomi Mi Band 5. The next queen of smartbands that should arrive on the Chinese and international market shortly is the protagonist of the wearable sector show lately, but we cannot afford to leave her mother in the shade Xiaomi Mi Band 4. Let's not forget that it is thanks to her that Huami has reached absolute levels of popularity (as well as collections). A novelty that concerns us comes from Russia: it seems that it is about to be marketed a version with NFC. What is strange you will say ... well, that with the Russia we are out of China.
Up to now the Mi Band 4 could only use the NFC chip in China with Alipay and the like: perhaps the service will also arrive in Europe with a new version
According to the Russian official website mi.com, a new version of Xiaomi Mi Band 4 would have been put on sale. It was a long time, ever since the original international model was put on the market, that we asked ourselves: but when will a Mi Band with NFC also operating outside of China. Here it is, the first step has been taken.
This novelty sounds somewhat strange given the imminent arrival of Mi Band 5. This, as far as we know, should be equipped with NFC chip valid and usable on the whole global territory. The arrival of a Mi Band 4 with global NFC, although for the moment it is wrong to call it that, it is decidedly bizarre. If this were placed on the European market it could result as "a hoe on the feet”For the sale of the fifth version. Why do we say that it could also be introduced in Europe? Because it would not make sense that the model equipped with NFC is advertised only in Russia. We therefore expect that within a few months also in the rest of the European Union countries make its debut. Clearly there are limitations, let's see them together.
As we can read in the images below, "it only works with the official Russian version"That"has the identifier MGW4059RU"; it is also "Russia must be selected as the region”On the Mi Fit application. This means that there are some stakes to be respected and that at the moment, even if we buy this device from Russia, we will have to make sure to do these steps. In any case, according to what is reported on the official website at the moment it is possible to pay only through the Mastercard circuit (no PayPal and Visa for the moment). We do not know if other circuits will be added in the future but we hope so.
