Xiaomi has announced the arrival in France of its Redmi Smart Band 2, a connected bracelet launched at less than 30 euros with monitoring of heart rate and your sports activity.
A month ago, between Christmas and New Year’s Day, Xiaomi presented in China two new devices to attach to the wrist, the Redmi Watch 3 watch and the Redmi Band 2 bracelet. This Friday, the Chinese manufacturer finally announced the launch of its connected bracelet in France.
If the bracelet is baptized “Redmi Band 2in China, it will be necessary to rely on the name Redmi Smart Band 2 in France. A way for Xiaomi to harmonize its different ranges of connected bracelets with the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 and Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro. Nevertheless, with the exception of this change in nomenclature, the bracelet has not undergone any substantial modification between its launch in China and its arrival in France.
Concretely, we are dealing here with a bracelet connected with a large rectangular TFT LCD screen of 1.47 inches diagonally displaying 172 x 320 pixels for a density of 247 pixels per inch. As is often the case with Xiaomi, the sensor can be integrated directly into the silicone strap, a way to easily change strap colors. At launch, two versions will be offered, in black or white.
Comprehensive health measures
On the activity and health measurement side, the Redmi Smart Band 2 not only integrates a tracking of the number of steps taken during the day, but also a continuous heart rate sensor and a measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood. . However, the bracelet does not benefit from a chip for GNSS tracking compatible with GPS, Glonass, Galileo and Beidou. You will therefore not be able to accurately measure the distance traveled during your workouts, or the pace and speed at which you provide your efforts, unless you use the smartphone’s GPS tracking.
