Xiaomi has just launched the Mi Band 3i, which is specifically designed for the Indian market. The device looks exactly like the regular Mi Band 3, but lacks a heart-rate sensor that usually is on the back of the device. This allows Xiaomi to sell the Mi Band 3i at an impressively low price of INR1,299, which is just $18.
Beyond that there’s no difference between the Mi Band 3i and the Mi Band 3. It still has an AMOLED screen with a 0.78” black and white display and a resolution of 128 x 80 pixels. The capacitive button below allows adds another way to control the UI, while the back features two Pogo Pins for charging.
Xiaomi did a great job covering the fact there is no heart-rate sensor – the company has photos only from the front or onto a person’s wrist. It has all the other features like sleep tracking, idle alert, app notifications, locating or unlocking your phone, as well as the gentle vibrating alarm – you simply forget you need the HR sensor.
