We've had our first look at Xiaomi's new smartwatch.
These budget-friendly smartwatch alternatives can monitor vital metrics at a fraction of the price of an Apple Watch.
Xiaomi continues its advancement in the wearable devices market with the launch of its new smartwatch, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro. Recently, some renders of this device have leaked, showcasing its attractive design. Although the release date has not yet been confirmed, it's worth noting that the Smart Band 9 was launched in August, shortly after the presentation of the Smart Band 8 Pro.
The new renders show some notable differences compared to its predecessor. The smartwatch features a more curved screen design, something that was not seen in the Smart Band 9. Additionally, changes are noticeable in the casing finish, which now has a more matte appearance, as well as in the band closure.
Regarding color options, the available renders depict the bands in white, black, and pink. However, information remains limited, forcing us to make guesses based on previous models. It is important to keep in mind that these renders may not accurately represent the final product, as there could be changes in features before the launch.
The Smart Band 8 Pro has an approximate price of $100, so it is estimated that the Band 9 Pro will have a similar cost. This device positions itself as an affordable option, compatible with both Android and iOS devices, which broadens its accessibility. At that price point, it is more economical than other smartwatches or fitness trackers on the market, making it worth keeping an eye on its arrival.
