Xiaomi Mi Band 7 series wristbands, which are currently sold in the Iranian market, have very attractive features, but we naturally expect that the next generation Let's face various improvements.

Is this smart wristband in preparation?
No doubt. Although there are many companies active in the market of smart wristbands, Xiaomi is the first in this market. Also, during the past months, many reports have been published about the Xiaomi Mi Band 8, which seems to be the same name used for the new generation of Xiaomi's smart wristband. As usual, this wristband is available in some markets under the name of Smart Band 8.
When will Xiaomi Mi Band 8 be released?
Xiaomi smart wristbands are usually introduced in late spring or early summer in China, and a few weeks after the launch in China, They find their way to global markets. Therefore, it seems that in a few months we will see the unveiling of the Xiaomi Mi Band 8.
Will Xiaomi also unveil the Mi Band 8 Pro?
Last year it was unveiled for the first time. We were from the Pro model of the Xiaomi smart wristband. Despite the higher price, the Mi Band 7 Pro benefits from features such as better design, built-in GPS, and longer battery life. Therefore, we hope that Xiaomi will repeat this approach for Mi Band 8.
Disclosed features
Design and specifications
Last year, Xiaomi used a bigger and better quality display. We also saw an increase in maximum brightness, which makes it easier to use this wristband in outdoor environments. In the new generation, the overall design is the same as the previous generations, and we can expect the same always-on display and user interface used in the previous generation.
According to the leaked images of this wristband, it seems that the design of the strap has been changed. Instead of wrapping around the body, the new strap is connected to the main body from both sides. This means that the Mi Band 8 will be similar to the Mi Band 7 Pro and many other wristbands on the market. Of course, according to this change, the strap of this gadget seems to be compatible with the straps of the current Pro model. According to one of the leaked documents, this wristband supports Bluetooth 5.1, while the previous generation uses Bluetooth 5.2.
Health-related features>
Not published. But naturally, we should not expect new and special features related to health and well-being. Therefore, as usual, we will face sleep monitoring capabilities, continuous blood oxygen measurement, heart rate monitoring and stress monitoring. The previous generation supports 120 sports modes, which means that practically all types of athletes can benefit from it. As a result, we should not expect an increase in these sports modes.
Given that the Mi 7 Pro uses internal GPS, it is very likely that this feature will not make its way to the Mi Band 8 and Xiaomi will use it. Considers an exclusive feature for the Pro model. .jpg">
Mi Band 7 faced an increase in price compared to the previous generation and reached the hands of users at a price of about 60 dollars. Some time later, the Pro model arrived with a price of about 100 dollars. Therefore, if Xiaomi is looking to release two Mi Band 8 models this year, their prices will probably be around this. Therefore, if the Mi Band 8 does not have a special upgrade compared to the previous generation, its price increase will not be logical, and with this, the sales figures may decrease significantly.
From Xiaomi Mi Band 8 What do we expect?
Increasing smart features
Day by day, the border between wristbands and smart watches is getting thinner and so we hope for this wristband, its distance from smart watches will decrease. The current model uses some smart features related to notifications and music playback, but these capabilities are still very limited. Also the global models of this The wristbands do not support the voice assistant function and this feature is very important for some users.
Built-in GPS
Clause 8 should also find its way. Of course, the probability of providing this characteristic for this model is very low. Some of the athletes, for example, don't like to put their phones in their pockets while running, but they sometimes have to do so in order to accurately track the route and receive accurate information. Therefore, if the Pro model is not released this year and only the standard Mi Band 8 model is released, its use of internal GPS can greatly increase its sales.
Improving sleep monitoring
May Band series wristbands are very small and easy to use. Therefore, even while sleeping, if it is placed on your wrist, you will not face any problem. In the meantime, according to the investigations, the Mi Band 7 and the Pro model do not provide accurate information for sleep monitoring. So we hope that for the next generation, Xiaomi has fixed these problems.
Simplifying the user experience of the application
Mi Band 7 is fully compatible with Zepp Life and Mi Fitness apps. But both apps have many weaknesses in terms of user experience. For example, Mi Fitness can't sync with Google Fit and Zepp Life on the other hand can't sync with Strava. Therefore, we hope that Xiaomi will pay more attention to the software experience of its smart wristbands.
