Xiaomi has long been known for its extensive range of affordable devices, including not just smartphones but also high-value smartwatches and wearables. These offerings consistently deliver impressive performance at budget-friendly price points, making them bestsellers. However, 2024 could take Xiaomi’s wearable lineup to a whole new level.
Xiaomi’s 2024 Wearable Lineup
In the world of wearables, Xiaomi is gearing up for an exciting year with the launch of a smartwatch and two bracelets that are set to redefine the market with their outstanding quality-to-price ratios. The first contender is the Redmi Watch 4, already available in China and poised to make its debut in Spain. The other upcoming releases include the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro and Xiaomi Smart Band 9.
Redmi Watch 4: The Watch Everyone Desires
Launched in China just a month ago, the Redmi Watch 4 is Xiaomi’s latest smartwatch offering. With its affordable pricing, this smartwatch aims to become the top economic choice for consumers. Its design bears a striking resemblance to the Apple Watch, featuring a square-shaped AMOLED screen that stands out for its vibrant colors and excellent visibility.
However, where Xiaomi has truly excelled is in the battery department, promising approximately 20 days of usage on a single charge. This impressive battery life sets the Redmi Watch 4 apart as one of the longest-lasting smartwatches. Additionally, it offers fitness monitoring functions, GPS, 150 sports modes, and even a built-in microphone and speaker for making calls. All of this comes with a price tag that won’t exceed 100 euros, making the Redmi Watch 4 the smartwatch everyone covets.
Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro and Xiaomi Smart Band 9
Xiaomi’s flagship wearable series introduced the Pro version last year with the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. While the next iteration has yet to be officially released, it’s expected to make its debut soon. The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro has already been unveiled in China, featuring a design reminiscent of the Redmi Watch 4 but with a slightly more rectangular screen.
This smart band boasts an AMOLED screen with impressive image quality and brightness, along with heart rate and stress tracking capabilities. It also includes integrated GPS and supports 150 sports modes. Notably, it lacks a microphone and speaker for calls, and while its battery life is not as extensive as the Redmi Watch 4, it still offers over a week of usage.
Another highly anticipated addition to Xiaomi’s wearable lineup is the Xiaomi Smart Band 9, the latest generation of the popular series. While details are scarce at the moment, it’s rumored to be unveiled in March of next year in Asia, with a subsequent release in Spain. With an estimated price of around 60 euros, it’s set to offer excellent value for money.
2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Xiaomi’s wearables, with the Redmi Watch 4 leading the charge and the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro and Smart Band 9 expected to further solidify Xiaomi’s position in the market.
