It will come with support for a feather allowing users to control the smartphone camera’s shutter. Mi Band is already compatible with the company’s own XiaoAI smart assistant in China. It is expected that the tracker will not come preloaded with Alexa, but will answer the user query through the Alexa app installed on the connected smartphone. In China, Mi Band is also equipped with NFC support that enables contactless payments. The new model is expected to have support for Google Pay. This time, the company may offer NFC feature outside China. The wearable device is likely to come with a Xiaomi Wearable App, dial, event reminder, target reminder, wrist lock, night mode, launcher, camera, unlock phone, and others. This will be the successor to **Mi Band 4 (Review)** that was unveiled in India last year at a price of Rs 2,299.
