Redmi Smart Band Pro is here with a 1.47" OLED screen, 110+ workout modes

The new Redmi fitness band is very similar to the Xiaomi Mi Band 6.

What you need to know

Xiaomi's Redmi sub-brand has rolled out a new budget fitness tracker called the Redmi Smart Band Pro.
It comes with a 1.47-inch AMOLED display, a PPG heart rate monitor, and a SpO2 sensor.
Redmi has also unveiled an affordable smartwatch called the Redmi Watch 2 Lite.

Redmi, which launched its first-ever fitness tracker last year, has now introduced a new device that has the specs to give the best cheap fitness trackers a run for their money. The new Redmi Smart Band Pro comes with nearly all the features that you'd find in Xiaomi's Mi Band 6 — including a bright AMOLED screen and blood oxygen monitoring.

The new Redmi Smart Band Pro has a 1.47-inch AMOLED screen with a 66.7% screen-to-body ratio and Always-on display support. The body of the fitness tracker is made using polycaprolactam, which is further reinforced using glass fiber.

Redmi's latest fitness tracker comes with over 110 fitness modes — including outdoor running, hiking, trekking, indoor cycling, yoga, and treadmill. It also features 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, sleep quality tracking, and stress level monitoring.

When it comes to battery life, Redmi claims the Smart Band Pro can last up to two weeks on a single charge. With the Power Saving mode enabled, you can expect it to provide up to 20 days of battery life. Similar to Xiaomi's best fitness trackers, the Redmi Smart Band Pro can be easily charged with a small magnetic cable.

The Redmi Watch 2 Lite is a more affordable version of the Redmi Watch 2 that the company unveiled alongside the Redmi Note 11 series phones last week. It comes with a 1.55-inch 320 x 360 resolution TFT screen, 5 ATM water resistance, Bluetooth 5.0 support, an optical heart rate sensor, built-in GPS, and a 262mAh battery claimed to deliver up to 10 days of usage.

There's no word on pricing or availability yet, but we expect both wearables to go on sale in markets such as India very soon.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
