Xiaomi will soon introduce its new smart bracelet. The Chinese company continues to arouse interest by announcing the features of the Mi Band 8 before the launch next week. Here is another one of them: The smart bracelet will be able to turn into a necklace. Using the Mi Band 8 as a necklace will be possible thanks to the new strap system. There are special slots for belt connection on the body of the device. To turn the smart bracelet into a necklace, simply attach a long chain to one side of the Mi Band 8 and leave the other side blank.

Coming next week

Undoubtedly, when Mi Band 8 is turned into a necklace, some functions such as heart rate measurement and determining the amount of oxygen in the blood will become unusable. The Chinese giant says the necklace format will be more suitable for displaying watches, counting steps and paying for purchases (an NFC chip is also expected). It was recently announced that the Xiaomi Mi Band 8 will be introduced on April 18, 2023, along with the camera-focused flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra and the Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet. In addition, promotional posters revealing the design of the smart bracelet were released.
