According to what we can see in the pictures, Xiaomi will be offering three color variants for the straps in Mi Band 3, Black, Navy Blue, and Matte Red. Of course, you can expect a myriad of Custom straps from third-party makers in coming months. The OLED panel will bring touchscreen capabilities allowing the user to interact directly with the features offered by the Mi Band 3.
These features will include the option to hear instant messages directly from the Mi Band 3, as well as see the Caller ID and get the option to mute the call without the need to interact with the smartphone. Xiaomi’s newest wearable will bring Weather forecast feature, alarm clock which can be turned off directly from the display, Heart Rate monitor, Sleep Tracker, Daily Steps counter and Sedentary Reminder.
..will be able to hear instant messages? Read maybe I guess.
Nothing spectacular so far. Just a differently shaped Amazfit Bip without the GPS and the watchfaces…and the timer functionality…and the always on display…Thats what they have come up after 2 years? Really?
The MiBand is for long recharge cycles. The ability to show or read text messages was a feature I missed with the band 2 … I dont care for GPS, my phone can do that, which I have to recharge every day.
I am happy though that the MiBand battery lasts for 20+ day with Bluetooth and 30+ without Bluetooth.
Amazfit Bip can do 2 full months on a single charge with a moderate usage. And the always-on display is a bonus, especially the fact that stronger light actually improves its visibility.
