Surprise after the leak of the Xiaomi Band 8 with the new system for the straps

Both the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 and the Xiaomi Smartband 7 Pro They have been on sale since last year, for the first time with a totally different format. The next generation is already rearing its head in different certifications and comes with some surprise: his leash.

An alleged Xiaomi Mi Band 8 has been sighted in south korean certification NRRA and, although it maintains the elongated pill format of the Smart Band 7, it incorporates a strap system like that of the Smart Band 7 Prothus ending the long lineage of one-piece silicone straps.

You will need new straps

With model name M2239B1, the one that may become globally the Xiaomi Smartband 8 It has gone through a South Korean certifying entity, where photographs and a few details are attached.

Regarding specifications, there is little beyond mentioning Bluetooth 5.1 and a voltage of 3.87V, but the photo lets us see that the pill design will be maintained. This would normally be expected, but after the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro adopted a more grid-like smartwatch format, it wouldn’t have been entirely unusual to see such a format on the standard model as well.

However, the most curious change for Xiaomi’s line of quantifying bracelets is that for the first time the strap will have a different system, with two parts that mate at both ends of the body (if we exclude the Band 7 Pro). Come on, forget about using the straps of your Smart Band 7 in the Smart Band 8.

We don’t yet know if the Smart Band 8 is going to be bigger or smaller than the Smart Band 7, but even if it’s identical the strap of the previous version will not work for you. This is not entirely unusual, as you can see in the table below.

We just have to wait to find out what awaits us in the seventh generation of the most popular activity bracelet. From the outside, it doesn’t look very different from its predecessor.although we can never rule out that, for example, it already includes GPS.
