Xiaomi To Unveil Mi Band 9 With New Metal Casing, Enhanced Features
Anticipated reveal of Mi Band 9, fitness tracker with smart health monitoring, at the 5th annual Lei Jun address
Xiaomi is preparing for an interesting announcement during the 5th annual Lei Jun address on 19 July, with the focus on the anticipated Xiaomi Band 9. This latest addition to Xiaomi's fitness tracker line features a metal casing, which aims to improve the device's visual appeal and longevity.
The Mi Band 9's sleek form closely mirrors that of its predecessor, the Mi Band 8, while retaining the familiar comfort and elegance that consumers have come to expect, as per the brand. Users may customise the band to match their style, whether for the gym, the office or social gatherings, since it comes in a variety of colours and replaceable wristbands.
Xiaomi has promised an improved smart experience with the Mi Band 9, however specific enhancements have yet to be revealed. The next model is likely to enhance on the Mi Band 8's capabilities, which included a 1.62-inch screen with 326 PPI resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits of brightness. Users should expect comparable or better visual clarity and brightness in the Mi Band 9.
The Mi Band 9's user interface is anticipated to be updated, taking advantage of the metal body to improve navigation and interactivity. Advanced health and fitness tracking features are likely to be improved further, maybe with more accurate sensors and additional health monitoring capabilities. The Mi Band 9 aims to improve on previous models' already impressive health and fitness tracking capabilities, such as the Mi Band 8's high-resolution AMOLED display, auto-brightness adjustment, unique runway-shaped design and quick-release structure for easy band interchangeability, which includes a necklace option.
