Xiaomi Mi Band 7

One of the better fitness trackers at a low price is the Mi Band from Xiaomi. The current Mi Band 6 will have a successor in the sense of the Mi Band 7. The first rumors about the new watch are now trickling in, so we can already share some information about it with you.

According to the latest reports, the seventh generation will have a different name. Where the name ‘Mi’ previously disappeared with smartphones, it will also disappear with the fitness tracker. According to the rumors, the model will be called Xiaomi Smart Band 7. The device will have a resolution of 490 x 192 pixels and there is support for the Always On display. The current ‘6’ is provided by the manufacturer with a resolution of 486 x 152 pixels. It is expected that the differences with the current model will not be very large.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 would be the first to be equipped with GPS support. Until now, with the previous models, you had to connect the device to your phone for the location data. It could just be that the watch can become a bit more expensive with this. Another post about the watch talks about a smart alarm clock, which monitors your sleep pattern. With Smart Alarm, the watch can choose to wake you up in a light phase, up to 30 minutes before the set wake up time. This can result in a shorter sleep, but you can get out of bed better. There would also be a new energy-saving mode, with which you can do even longer with the fully charged battery. There are also reports that the device will be equipped with NFC. That was also the case with the previous model, but it did not come to European countries.
