Xiaomi has its Mi Band line-up for budget fitness trackers. However, its sub-brand Redmi has also launched a fitness tracker right now. Redmi Smart Band has finally launched in India and is priced at ₹1,599.
Redmi Smart Band was launched in China in the month of April. And today, ti has finally made its way to the Indian market. Redmi Smart Band comes with a 1.08-inch LCD display with 128×220 pixels resolution. The display can go up to 200-nits brightness which should be okay – but probably not the best. The display is protected by 2D tempered glass – no mention of Corning Gorilla Glass or anything.
On the connectivity side, Redmi Smart Band comes with the support of Bluetooth 5.0 LE. That is used to connect the band to Android or iOS devices. Also, it has the support of continuous heart rate monitoring which also provides heart rate alerts. It also comes with support of sleep tracking – which is really important for a fitness tracker. There are five sports modes available on the band – Outdoor Runnning, Exercise, Cycling, Treadmill and Fast Walking.
The band is water resistant up to 50 metres i.e. 5ATM. There’s a 130mAh battery powering the device and yet, it just weighs 13 grams. Xiaomi claims that the band will last for 14 days on a single charge.
The main device on the band is black in colour. However, there are different coloured straps to choose from – Black, Blue, Green and Orange. It can be purchased right now at ₹1,599 on Amazon India as well as Xiaomi’s own website.
