It seemed like it was never going to arrive but finally, last week the long-awaited Xiaomi Mi Band 2 was officially presented, the third installment of the quantifying bracelet that has been so successful in practically the entire world. One of the main novelties that this new revision includes is a screen, something that many users had requested and that the Chinese firm has finally materialized. Now, we are beginning to receive the first offers to buy the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 on sale; this time, from the igogo.es store, where it will cost us about €33.61; nothing bad.
With the aforementioned screen we have better control over our physical activity, notifications and the time, a fact that will prevent us from taking out our smartphone every now and then. Added to this panel is a button with which we will interact to go between different screens and thus consult the different parameters that the bracelet measures.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 2 becomes more independent than ever
Anyone who knows the previous Mi Band will already know its main functions. For those who don’t, we will explain them. It should be noted that this new delivery retains all the features seen in the old models, including the heart rate reader introduced by the Mi Band 1S, in the same way that it continues to connect to the smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0.
The Mi Band 2 is capable of counting the steps we take and based on this, calculating the calories burned and distance traveled; In addition, it also has a function to warn us when we have been sitting for too long without moving our butt. On the other hand, it will measure the quality of our sleep when it determines that we have gone to sleep. With all this data, it will prepare daily/weekly/monthly statistics that we can consult to see our progress in relation to exercise and quality of life.
You can also send us back notifications that arrive on your smartphone, such as a WhatsApp message, an email, etc. Of course, it will only show the app icon, without responding to it or seeing the content of the notice. Likewise, thanks to the app from which we will configure the bracelet, we can select what we want to see on it: the time (always enabled), the steps, the distance traveled, the calories burned, the heart rate and the remaining battery, in addition to notifications from the apps that we establish.
THE strap of the Mi Band 2 is also somewhat different, since according to Xiaomi, it is now more comfortable. It should be noted that it still has that system in which the device is snapped into place, in addition to its IP67 water and dust resistance; suitable for receiving splashes of water (washing hands, showering…) but not for immersion.
Where to buy the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 on sale
If you have decided, you can now buy the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 on pre-sale at igogo.es for €33.61, a much better price than in other import stores. The bracelet will begin shipping on July 15 (you already know how these things go) so you will have to be patient and wait a little longer.
