It seems that we will not have to wait until June 11 to finally know the new Xiaomi activity bracelet, and it is that in China some distributors have already started to offer reservations for the product including all the features and photos of it. Do you want to finally know all the official characteristics of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 ? Keep reading.
The Mi Band 5 can now be reserved… in China
Some distributors have begun to hang the product in their catalog, accompanying it with its technical data sheet. This is the case of Giztop, where we can find all the characteristics that the bracelet will offer with the possibility of reserving one in our name and receiving it from June 20 (this store makes international shipments). You can pre-order it at the store for $ 32.99 , an amount similar to that of other generations of the bracelet.
The problem is that this time the Chinese version will present important changes compared to the global version that could cause problems for users from the west. The new bracelet will include support for a virtual assistant, but while the Chinese version will offer Xiaomi’s proprietary AI, XiaoAI, the global version will be supported by Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa. This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why this time we will have to wait for the global version and not get ahead of the eastern version.
Also payments
Another reason why you should not buy the Chinese version is that the included payment system is related to UnionPay, while the global model will include compatibility with Google Pay , so we can use our compatible credit cards without problems. . These are two compelling reasons to wait for the global model, so don’t be in too much of a hurry and wait for the new Mi Band 5 to officially hit stores in your area.
