Xiaomi’s latest fitness band got official in China last month, and now it’s almost ready to make the jump to Europe. According to Xiaomi’s online store for the Netherlands, the Smart Band 9 will first go on sale on August 16 at 10 AM local time.
It’s priced at €39.99. The Smart Band 9 also has an NFC-enabled version, which is undoubtedly going to be a tad more expensive. The Smart Band 9 comes in four colors – pink, black, white, and blue.
It has a quick strap changing mechanism, and there’s even a ceramic version (the normal one is made out of metal instead), but it’s unclear if that one will make the trip to Europe or not.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 has 21 days of battery life (9 days with Always On Display), a linear vibration motor with 20 vibration modes, and a heart rate sensor with 16% improved accuracy compared to the Smart Band 8.
The screen is a 1.62″ OLED with 490×192 resolution and 1,200-nit peak brightness, which should greatly aid visibility in the sun compared to its predecessor. It comes packing more than 150 fitness modes, and has a 233 mAh battery that takes one hour to fully charge. The Smart Band 9 has Bluetooth 5.4 and a water resistance of 50m.
As you can see from the image above, if you buy one in the Netherlands during the first sale, you can get a pair of Redmi Buds 4 Active TWS earbuds for just €1.99 (which means you’d be saving €11 compared to buying both items separately).
