Xiaomi has announced that its flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone will be unveiled at a launch event on April 18 in China. The business has also declared that it will introduce the Xiaomi Band 8 smart band at the occasion. We got a glimpse of the device’s appearance via a teaser poster.
The Xiaomi Band 8 maintains its previous long, oval, pill-like design with a runway screen and a narrow frame. But there will be a range of strap options, including those made of various materials. The Band 8’s bracelet strap version will have narrower lugs than the wide one, giving it a sleeker appearance.
For the wide strap version, it currently appears that the Xiaomi Band 8 will come in three color options: black and white, green, and yellow. The bracelet models will also be in Rose Gold and Black in the interim. The Xiaomi Band 8 with model number M2239B1 has previously been certified. And while no additional details are mentioned in the teaser, it is likely to include Bluetooth 5.1 technology and a built-in DC 3.87V polymer lithium-ion battery. To get a sense of what else to expect, let’s look at its predecessor.
