one of the best bracelets is now metal and allows you to open the car without keys

Today was an important day for Xiaomi, with the presentation of the new foldable Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 and Xiaomi Mix Flip, the latter scheduled for launch in Europe. Its CEO, Lei Jun, was also able to present a very special project, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, the company’s “dumbest” electric car to date.

But today’s presentation, which was part of the annual speech of the company’s CEO, left room for many other products; While it is true that many are not expected for Europe (such as a new air conditioning and a new air purifier), others are expected to arrive in our country. And one of the most anticipated is the new Xiaomi Smart Band 9

The Xiaomi Band is one of the most recommended wearable devices on the market due to its possibilities and components; and with this generation, the company has decided to make it even more attractive. The great novelty of the Xiaomi Band 9 is found in its metal fabrication; Until now, the body of the device was made of plastic to reduce costs, but now it has a metal body that makes it more durable and gives it a “premium” touch that is not very common in this sector.

The new metal body of the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 was the perfect excuse to change the design philosophy of the accessories, with three new bracelet modelsincluding a magnetic one that joins magnets, as well as a fabric one and another with an irregular pattern. Additionally, there will be a ceramic version of the Smart Band 9 in white.

As for the device itself, the design is identical and so it is expected to have the same screen size. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t new features, like a new vibration motor and support for NFC car keys; it does mean that we can open the car doors simply by moving your wrist closeralthough for now it is only compatible with two car brands. The Smart Band 9’s battery now lasts up to 21 days and the new sensor is 16% more accurate.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 will be available in China with a starting price of 249 yuan (32 dollars at the exchange rate).

The second laptop announced today by Xiaomi is the Xiaomi S4 Sport Watchthe most advanced smartwatch for athletes to date, and a clear competitor to the Apple Watch Ultra thanks to its titanium body and sapphire crystal. It’s built for adventure, with dive assistance up to 40 meters and dual-frequency GPS.

The Watch S4 Sport is also designed to be used without having to carry your mobile phone with you. It supports eSIM, to have connectivity anywhere and receive calls without your mobile phone, and allows store maps in watch memory to access it at any time and never get lost even when there is no coverage. The battery can last up to 15 days. The Xiaomi Watch S4 Sport will be available for 1,999 yuan, or around 253 dollars.

Finally, Xiaomi has renewed its wireless headphones, with the Xiaomi Buds 5 with active noise cancellation. These are direct rivals to the AirPods, with a semi-open design for greater comfort; but they are lighter, weighing only 4.2 grams.
