Xiaomi is set to unveil the Mi Band 5 in China on June 11. It’s two days from now and scheduled for the same day as the Mi Notebook unveiling in India. The company gave us a sneak peek at its next-gen fitness band’s design yesterday. And today, it shared a plethora of teasers on Weibo talking about the upgrades that Mi Band 5 will bring in tow.
One of the biggest upgrades here will have to be the charging mechanism. Everyone knows how Xiaomi has stuck with its inconvenient ‘popping the pill and plugging it into a cradle’ charging mechanism for too long. It will finally embrace a magnetic charger with Mi Band 5, as shown in the render below. You will no longer need to remove the strap and can simply snap the charger when the band’s battery is low.
