As we are all aware of the popular Xiaomi smartphones and Mi products, the Chinese company is excelling in the mobile market of India and has announced the date of their Smarter Living event on 29th September.
As per reports, Xiaomi is all set to release its Mi Band 5 in India which was recently released in China in June 2020. This product is a successor of the Mi Band 4 which was a ‘hot-selling’ smartwatch on Amazon and Flipkart.
Mi Band 5: Tech Specs
The Mi Smart band 5 features a larger and better 1.1-inch colour AMOLED display as compared to the smaller 0.95-inch screen seen on its predecessor, the Mi Band 4.
Xiaomi is all about its customers and for their ease of use and convenience, they added a magnetic charging dock to the new series 5 smart band. The fitness model of this watch will include fitness-focused features for the young and restless of all age groups. The company has also included a dedicated women’s health mode which makes this a great investment for anyone looking for a watch this year.
Mi Band 5: Launch in India

Along with this, the Smarter Living virtual event by Xiaomi India is expected to launch other IoT (Internet of things) products as well with the new band model.
