Expected Features

The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is expected to feature the same 0.42-inch mono-coloured OLED display as like its predecessor.

The band could come with a 2.5D curved glass covering on top of the screen and the company might get rid of the physical button.

Other features like the step counter and heart-rate sensor will be retained, but users need to access these features using the screen instead of buttons. As per the leaked manual, it has been confirmed that the display can be removed from the strap for charging.

It will reportedly come with IP67-certification and a removable strap, with connectivity options like Bluetooth and NFC built in.

More three days are left to know every detail of what the Mi Band 3, Mi 8, and the MIUI 10 are going to offer.
