Mi Band 5 will become the latest addition into the family of fitness bands from the house of Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi. Mi Band 4 was a great hit in India and all around the globe as it offered some class apart functionalities under a budget price bracket.
There’s been a lot of rush around launch and expectations around the next iteration in the fitness band line-up from Xiaomi that goes by the name of Mi Band. Today, we got some legit news regarding the launch date of the upcoming Mi Band 5.
A post went live on the public WeChat channel of Xiaomi India named Xiaomi Mall announcing the exact launch date of Xiaomi’s Mi Band 5. The online launch date of the fitness band is set to 11th June 2020.
Expected Features Of Mi Band 5
Along with the exact launch date of the next-gen fitness band, we also got our hands on some key features of the upcoming fitness band.
Mi band 5 will grab a larger display as compared to its predecessor Mi Band 4, It is expected to have a 1.2” AMOLED display with full touch display.
A live image of Mi Band 5 surfaced online quite some time ago defining some dimensions of it along with new placement for charging port. It will feature a plug type charger instead of the drop and keep charging dock. Instead of the bottom-mounted magnetic ports, it will feature side-mounted ports for convenient charging.
Mi Band 5 will have even more flatter dimensions compared to Mi Band 4. A Flatter screen will provide better accessibility to the user. It is also assumed that Xiaomi has got rid of the small circle in the center and is ready to offer an immersive fullscreen experience.

Mi Band 4 had this functionality but this feature never made to India but this time we think that Mi Band 5 will bring the power of NFC in the hands of every Indian.
We also got to know that Mi Band 5 will feature a Blood Oxygen Level i.e. SpO2 monitor as well. This feature was previously seen on some smartwatches like realme Watch and other smartwatches from Noise as well.

In addition to the above-mentioned health-tracking features, Mi Band 5 will also enhance its functionalities over the activity-tracking front as well with the addition of 5 new sports modes namely Yoga, Elliptical machine, Rowing machine, Skipping rope, and Indoor bicycle. This also increases the total number of sports modes to 11.
