The company Xiaomi has introduced a new generation of its fitness band not only in the Chinese version, but already in a global version as well. It’s called Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 and brings several hardware and software upgrades at once.

The band was first unveiled in China under the name Mi Band 5. This version even includes a smart assistant, XiaoAI, and NFC chip payments designed exclusively for China. 15. July 2020, however, saw a European presentation of the global version, which will carry the Mi Smart Band 5 name.

In the editorial office, we decided to test this fitness band so we can evaluate for ourselves what features it truly offers.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 in our hands

We pre-ordered the fitness band Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 directly from the Slovak official distributor. Through the Alza.sk e-shop, the product was delivered to our local branch in just two calendar days. Official distribution, however, required a higher amount, specifically €54.90.

If you want to save a bit more, you can get the Mi Smart Band 5 for significantly less by using one of our discount coupons. Besides the great price, you’ll also get free shipping delivered to your home.

Xiaomi Planet shopping tip: GShopper has now launched direct bank transfer payments, so you can save another 4.5 % off the product price! Compared to card / Google Pay payment, you can get this product much cheaper. We described the full bank transfer payment process in our article.
