Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Updates: The Fitness Band Tracker Will Feature Touchscreen Display And Mobile Payment

Last week, Xiaomi said that it generated more than 6 million Mi Band fitness trackers. The fitness band is available for $15 prior to its released on July 2014. Though one of Mi Band's setbacks is that it doesn't have a screen that requires its users to check their smartphone to figure out their sleep and workouts, a while ago, a report leaked that the new Xiaomi Mi Band 2 will feature a touchscreen display and a mobile payment.

A report from Gizmo China says that one of the things that would be most anticipated with the new Mi Band was the integration of a touchscreen on the fitness band. Incorporating the touchscreen will consent the Mi Band 2 owners to view the information on the screen rather than utilizing it through an app in their smartphone. Consequently, the added touchscreen would raise the cost of its newest version. Mi Band 2 is also buzzed to include an NFC chip that connects Mi Band 2 owners nearby each other.

Around $15, the first wearable device from Xiaomi is a worldwide success. In an evaluation by Android Headlines, the second version of Xiaomi Mi Band will be a lot more advanced with regards to technical aspect than its earlier version. As of now, there is no sort of engagement we can presume with the display except that it merely shows the time. Nonetheless, it makes sense that it is capable of displaying steps taken and some sleep tracking data that were featured in the original Mi Band.

Mobile payment is likely to be an exclusive function of the Mi Band 2. In this way, the wearers can pay purchases through Alipay which is Alibaba's payment depot. Although the Mi Band 2 will still compel a smartphone to perform mobile payments, the screen could confirm a payment or alert notifications when purchasing has finished.

Tech Node verified that Mi Band will adopt the most definitive standard encryption to protect payment transactions. Every band will have an individual modifier and payments can only be implemented only when it is paired with its Alipay account. Thus, there would be no instances of unauthorized payments with Mi Band if it is misplaced.

Wearables are certainly hitting the market today with its ease of access in the most comfortable way you can ever imagine. And it is just appropriate for the reappearance of a Mi Band 2.
