Xiaomi has successfully diversified its offerings in India from smartphones to smartwatches, TVs, and much more. No wonder then, that the release of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 sparked a lot of excitement amongst customers and Mi fans. Soon after its China release earlier this year, Xiaomi released the successor to the Mi Band 4 worldwide.
One interesting thing to note is that Xiaomi has added ‘Smart’ to the name this time. There are quite a lot of feature upgrades as well. Some features such as the NFC and the SpO2 are exclusive for the Chinese model for now. Let us find out what we can expect from the latest Mi smartwatch.
Price
The global version of the Mi Band 5 was launched in Europe at a price starting at €40 (which roughly becomes Rs 3,500). The standard, non-NFC version is available to us for around Rs.2000. It has seven different strap colors-Blue, Black, Pink, Purple, Orange, Yellow, and Green.
Although it’s a very good bargain with a plethora of features at a small price, you might not always be ready for an immediate transaction. You can get electronics on EMI. This is where a Consumer Durable Loan comes into the picture. Tata Capital offers a 0% EMI and many other attractive features with this loan, more of which we will look at in the following sections.
