Xiaomi Band 6 was among the best budget fitness band last year. And now, the company has announced its successor. The new Xiaomi Mi Band 7 brings a couple of incremental upgrades. In this article, we will be discussing the key specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 in Nepal.
Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Overview:
Design
The first thing you will notice about the new Xiaomi Mi Band 6 is its screen. Here, Xiaomi has expanded the screen size from 1.56” to 1.62-inch. Xiaomi claims the new screen has a 25% more viewable area and can attain brightness of up to 500 nits. However, the pixel density is unchanged at 326 pixels per inch.
Likewise, the company has also added support for Always-On Display. However, it is available in select watch faces.
Except for the larger screen, the design of the Mi Band 7 is the same as its predecessor. The main body is made of polycarbonate material, while the anti-bacterial wrist bands use TPU. It has 5ATM waterproofing.
The weight of the standard version is 13.5 grams, while it is slightly higher at 13.8 grams for the NFC version.
Health and Fitness Tracking
Xiaomi Band 7 features an optical heart rate sensor for 24 hours heart monitoring and continuous blood oxygen monitoring. It can even warn users if their SpO2 level drops below the normal range.
Unfortunately, there is no built-in GPS. However, you still get 120 different sports modes. The fitness band can even record VO2 Max during heavy workouts.
Because of the 5ATM rating, you can even take the new Xiaomi Mi Band 7 to pool. It can even automatically detect four styles of swimming styles.
