Ever since the first-ever Redmi-branded fitness tracker went official in China earlier this year, Xiaomi fans have been waiting for its India arrival with bated breaths. The company has finally debuted the Redmi Smart Band in India today. It boasts a color display, a heart rate sensor, and a 14-day battery life.
The Redmi Smart Band boasts a design that’s slightly different from the Mi Band we’re familiar with. You have a flat display here instead of a curved sensor-laden pill. Redmi Smart Band also includes detachable straps as opposed to the central pill cavity found aboard the Mi Band. This fitness tracker weighs only 13 grams and is really lightweight.
Redmi Smart Band comes equipped with a 130mAh battery pack, which the company will offer up to 14-days of battery life on a single charge. And while Xiaomi finally switched over to magnetic charging with the Mi Band 5, Redmi Smart Band supports USB direct charge – the same as the Realme Band.
Redmi Smart Band has been priced at Rs. 1,599 in India and will compete against its Chinese counterpart, the Realme Band, in the entry-level segment. You can choose from among a variety of strap colors, including black, blue, orange, and green.
