Redmi Smart Band 2 specifications, features

Redmi's new Smart Band 2 comes with a 1.47-inch (194x368 pixels) always-on TFT touch display, with a pixel density of 247ppi, 450 nits peak brightness, and a tempered glass cover with anti-fingerprint coating. The fitness tracker runs on a 210mAh battery that is said to offer up to 14 days of battery backup on regular use, which can reduce to 6 days with heavy usage.

The company confirms that the Redmi Smart Band 2 features a PPG heart-rate sensor, SpO2 tracker, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker and stress monitor. None of these trackers is intended to be used for diagnosis, the company states, and should be used “for well-being and personal reference only.” The fitness tracker comes with support for Bluetooth v5.1 and is waterproof up to 5ATM (50 metres), according to the company. It is compatible with smartphones running Android 6.0 and higher or iOS 12 and higher. Users will need to use the Mi Fitness application with the fitness band.
