Xiaomi Band 8 is Now Available, With Several Enhancements

Although the Xiaomi 13 Ultra was the center of attention at today’s new product launch event, there were other goods that deserved our attention. For example, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi Band 8, its eighth-gen smartband.

The new wristband departs from the standard design style of previous versions. Now, it uses a metal-textured central frame and is available in two colors: black/light gold.

Meet the Brand New Xiaomi Band 8

The Xiaomi Band 8 has quick-release straps on both sides that can be removed with a single touch. There are many color options to choose from: TPU multicolor straps, leather plaid straps, woven straps, double-circle color-matched leather straps, stainless steel leather chain straps, and many more.

This fitness tracker comes with a 1.62-inch screen, which supports 60Hz, 326PPI, and 600nit brightness. We need to mention that plenty of dials allow users to enter and play games with a single key – pinball, 2048, and so on.

In terms of sports, the Xiaomi Band 8 offers from a to z sports monitoring, up to 150+ sports modes, and professional sports algorithms such as maximum oxygen uptake, recovery time, and sports impact.

The Xiaomi Band 8 also features shoe attachments that can monitor the user’s running data better via the wristband device. It can provide accurate running instructions or correct running posture, prevent injuries and improve running performance. By the way, it also supports the new necklace form. So there are various wearing modes.

As for endurance, the Xiaomi Band 8 can last up to 16 days. But when the Always-on-Display is ON, the battery life will be five days. This smart band also supports 2C fast charging, which reduces charging time to less than an hour.

Like the previous models, the new Xiaomi 8 Band is one of the most budget products in the niche. The base variant costs 239 yuan ($35), while the NFC version is 279 yuan ($41).
