Redmi Band Launched; Comes with Built-in Charging Port

Redmi has launched its first Smart Band. First in the sense that this is a Redmi Band and not a Mi Band. It was initially launched in China in April and now it has been launched in India.

Redmi Smart Band price in India is Rs. 1,599 (22$). Well, we can’t say for sure that it will come to Nepal but there’s a chance that it will.

It is an affordable fitness band and looks to provide some nifty features for the price. So, let’s see what it has got to offer.

Redmi Band Overview

Design & Display

Redmi Band is another typical band that looks similar to the likes of Realme Band. It comes with a TPU wrist strap and a polycarbonate body with 5ATM water resistance. So, it is water-resistant up to 50m of water for 10 minutes.

Battery & Charging

As for charging you can pop-off the wrist straps and plug it into the USB slot of your laptop.

Features

I’ve already mentioned that it has a PPG heart rate sensor for 24/7 heart rate monitoring. Along with that, it has a step counter. For workouts, it has an outdoor run, treadmill, cycling, outdoor walk, and freestyle.

Redmi Band also has music control so that you can control the music on your phone. It can show notifications from your phone and silence/reject calls as well. But, you cannot use it to pick up calls as it doesn’t have a speaker or a mic. It can also monitor your sleep cycles and the data can be accessed via the Xiaomi wear app.

Redmi Band Price in Nepal and Availability

Redmi Band price in India is INR 1599 which is approx 2556 NPR. So, the Redmi Band price in Nepal will be around Rs. 2800 if it launches in Nepal.

Redmi Band is a starter fitness band with minimal fitness features. It can do step tracking and 24/7 heart rate monitoring but it’s not a total fitness tracker if you are serious about tracking your workouts. Besides, it can show notifications and control music. So, it’s a really basic fitness band for those who would like to be more active and track their step count.
