Xiaomi Mi Band 3 – What's new on this new bracelet?

The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 will soon be marketed. So it's time for me to tell you a little bit about the new version of one of the most popular smartbands in the world.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is a smart health connected bracelet, or (very) inexpensive fitness tracker. It is without a doubt the smart health bracelet offering the best value for money on the market. With it, you can have relatively complete fitness monitoring as well as sleep tracking functionality.

Let Mi Band fans rejoice! The arrival of the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 was confirmed a few years ago by the company's CEO, Lei Jun, during the lantern festival in China. He told Chinese media that a new fitness tracker would arrive before the end of the year.

Other information had also already filtered. Earlier, we heard that Xiaomi had obtained Bluetooth certification for the Mi Band 3. The certification was formalized on February 22, but it didn't reveal much about the device. We only learned on this occasion that the bracelet would be equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 LE.

So, although we do not know what the new features of the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 are, we at least know that it will soon be on the market. The Mi Band 2 was launched in 2016, and there were rumors of a launch of the Mi Band 3 in 2017, but that obviously did not happen. In the meantime, Xiaomi has launched two variants of Mi Band 2. There was an even cheaper version last year, the HRX edition, and the "Nirvana in Fire" edition this year.

As we do not yet know the product release date, we will have to wait for an official announcement from Xiaomi. But it should not be long! I was betting on an ad before the summer of 2018.
