Xiaomi 12S Ultra stole all the limelight yesterday, but the Xiaomi 12S series was not all that was launched in the event. Xiaomi also unveiled Xiaomi Band 7 Pro and Xiaomi Book Pro laptops in the event.
Xiaomi Band 7 Pro
Xiaomi Band 7 Pro joins Xiaomi's much acclaimed Xiaomi Band series of smart bands. And it comes as the Pro version of Xiaomi Band 7 that was launched earlier in May.
The Pro model walks on a thin line between smart band and a smart watch, as it has a large 1.67-inch AMOLED display. Which is even bigger than Huawei Band 6 or Redmi Smart Band 7 Pro.
Not just the size, Band 7 Pro boasts a pixel density of 326ppi, which confers to Apple's "retina" standards. The display is of 280 x 456 pixels resolution. Not only that, the band comes with ambient light sensor for automatic brightness adjustment. And always on display is available as well
Another major advantage Band 7 Pro has over Band 7 is the standalone GPS it has built in.
The band is available in two colours, light gold and black, and it comes with a variety of strap colours.
There are 180 new watch faces available for the Pro band. And in terms of fitness features, it comes with 117 exercise modes. And it has all-day heart rate tracking, blood oxygen tracking, sleep tracking, step counting, calorie counting and more
The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro will last up to 12 days on a single charge with its 235mAh battery. It features a 5ATM water resistant design too.
The band is priced at CNY 399 (Rs. 4,700 approximately) in China. We can expect the band to launch in India in a year or so going by Xiaomi's track record.
