Yet another teaser that was rolled out by the folks over at Xiaomi do point to the very real possibility of the Xiaomi Mi Band 1S being unveiled as soon as tomorrow, that is, July 22nd. If that were to be the case, it makes plenty of sense, taking into consideration how that happens to be the very first anniversary of the unveiling of the very first Mi Band. In the teaser, it was mentioned in Chinese that “Good Things Happen Tomorrow,” alongside the July 22nd date, of course.
To date, Xiaomi has already shipped more than 6 million units where the very first Mi Band is concerned, and chances are this could be due to the highly affordable price point of just $12 a pop – which would certainly make it fall under the impulse purchase category when you look at it. In fact, Xiaomi happend to be the second largest shipper of wearable devices for the first quarter of the year by commanding 24.6% of the market.
When the Mi Band hit the market, it brought with it the capability to measure your sleep as well as track your health and workouts. Not only that, it is also capable of “waking up” your Xiaomi smartphone if you so desire want it to do so. The lack of a display certainly has something to do with the extremely affordable price point, which means you still need to pair it up with an Android-powered device.
