A new report out of China has
claimed that Xiaomi may
reveal its first smartwatch
alongside the next-generation
Mi Band in Q2 2016.
The new details come from
Huami Technology's CEO
Wang , a Mi Ecosystem partner
that had made the Mi Band
wearable . According to the
initial details, Huami
Technology is said to
manufacture both the devices
and will be revealed in next
two months.
On the next-generation Mi
Band, the Chinese report (first
picked up by Gizmo China)
says that it will reduce
wearable's dependence on the
connected smartphone and
will sport a small display. If
this comes out to be true, the
new Mi Band might be the first
wearable from Xiaomi
featuring a display. The report
stresses that the display on
the new Mi Band will be a
highlight feature. Considering
that the new Mi Band is
expected to pack
improvements over the older
generation, the report says
that it will be priced higher
than the previous version.
Further, CEO Wang suggested
that a smartwatch from Xiaomi
exists and will launch with the
new Mi Band. Some of the
features tipped for the
smartwatch include a large
screen and health-related
functions. Unfortunately, no
details about the
specifications or pricing of the
smartwatch are known as of
now.
The above leak should be
taken with a pinch of salt as
Xiaomi has not mentioned
anything about the upcoming
devices and the leaks
legitimacy remains
questionable.
Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi
last year claimed to have
shipped over 10 million Mi
Band wearables in the first
nine months (January to
September) of 2015. Earlier
this year, at the Mi Ecosystem
launch, it revealed Huami had
sold 18.5 million bands till
date.
