Xiaomi Mi Band 5 Launch Date Confirmed to happen on June 11

Xiaomi is one of the most successful companies in the world in the fitness activity tracker or smart band scene. Last year's Mi Band 4 was definitely a hit and was loved my many fitness enthusiasts most especially in the budget segment. Now that success seems to continue with the eventual release of its successor set to take place real soon.  Also known as the Mi SmartBand 5, Xiaomi China has just officially confirmed that the upcoming Mi Band 5 will be formally launched in the Chinese market this coming June 11, 2020. The announcement was made official through the company's Weibo page.

While the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 is definitely one of the most anticipated smart bands this time of the year, there are actually very limited information known about it, at least the official ones. But if we take a look at the rumor mill, there we can find that the Mi Band 5 is expected to sport new and upgraded features such as a much bigger OLED display from 0.95-inch to 1.2-inch with much thinner bezels. New type of charger is also expected to arrive with this wearable.

Also, it is reported that the band will now have SpO2 sensor that monitors oxygen level in the blood in addition to the heart rate and sleep monitoring features. Menstrual cycle tracker is expected to be added as well in this fitness tracker. Additionally,  it is said that the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 will have a new feature that will allow users to use it a remote camera shutter for their smartphone. Then there is also an Alexa and NFC support for its international version, reports added. 

Some websites like the TizenHelp, are reporting that this upcoming Mi Band 5 will now have 5 additional fitness trackers - Yoga, Ellitical, Rowing Machine, Jumping Rope, and Indoor Cycling.

Of course these are still unconfirmed reports up until today, except the Mi Band 5's launch date. So that being said, let's take it with a grain of salt until Xiaomi officially launches the fitness tracker and reveals its features as well as the pricing. 

Stay tuned for more details.
