Earlier this month, Xiaomi‘s sub-brand Redmi launched its first-ever fitness band dubbed simply, Redmi Band. As you might have guessed with the moniker, the fitness tracker comes with a budget-centric price tag. Priced at RMB 99 (roughly $14), the band offers colored display, built-in charger, and impressive 14-day battery life. After the China launch, it seems like the product will soon hit major global markets such as India.
