From what we know, the wearable is expected to reduce its dependency on a smartphone. So it is expected to work independently.

The Xiaomi Mi Max packs in a 6.44-inch phablet-sized display, includes a large 4850mAh battery and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650/652 SoC with 3GB RAM. The iHealth box will let users measure things that a smartband cannot. These would include deeper health-related metrics like the blood pressure, heart beats and more. It packs in a 4.3-inch display and will connect via Wi-Fi. The new power bank packs in 10,000mAh capacity in a slim body that measures 12.6mm.
