Mi Band 3 to be Available Amazon Exclusive in India

Xiaomi recently revamped its fitness devices portfolio with the launch of an updatedMi Band in Chinaalongside the Mi 8 andMi 8 SE. After a long wait, Xiaomi is finally bringing the Mi Band 3 to India as part of its“Smarter Living” range of smart products.

While this launch isset to take place on September 27, the teaser page forMi Band 3isalready online on Amazon India. Although the page does not name the Mi Band 3, the graphics and the text easily point towards it. This series of teaser pages touts that the highly anticipated fitness band willtrack more data with higher accuracy, which will help you achieve a fitter and “smarter lifestyle“.

Other teasers also point at abigger display and a better battery back-upwhich you can confirm in thiscomparison between the Mi Band 3 and Band 2. The latest Mi Band has a 0.78-inch OLED display which now responds to touches all over, instead of just the touch-sensitive area in the earlier generation. Besides these teases, the page on Amazondoes not reveal any information about the pricing and availabilityof the Mi Band 3.

Xiaomi is known to offer products at striking prices and Mi Band 3 should also follow the trend. While the direct conversion from its price in China (169 yuan) comes out to almost Rs 1,800 so weexpect the fitness band to be priced below Rs 2,500. There’s another variant which comes with NFC to facilitate payments via Alipay but since tap-to-pay is still not as famous in India, Xiaomi might omit it here. Just in case it doesn’t, the Mi Band 3 with NFC is priced at 199 yuan or Rs 2,100.

The Mi Band 2 had been a successful and praised product in India and now that it’s getting better, we expect an even better response for the Mi Band 3. In case you’re in the process of making up your mind, our video review of a Chinese unit will help you decide better.
