The global launch of Xiaomi’s Smart Band 9 may be closer than previously anticipated. The device was recently unveiled in China, but new developments suggest an expedited international launch.

Amazon Italy has listed the Smart Band 9 with an August 19 release date, though pricing details are unknown. Xiaomi’s wearable products usually launch internationally after a delayed launch overseas.

According to Gadgets & Wearables, this upcoming wearable will cost €39.99 on Amazon Italy, a slight increase over its predecessor’s €36.99. However, the exact price is still to be revealed. As a result, we can pretty much assume that the Smart Band 9 global model will have the same specs and features as the Chinese model.

With Always On Display mode enabled, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 should last up to 9 days. There are 20 vibration modes to choose from and a linear motor.

Xiaomi claims to have improved the accuracy of the heart rate sensor by 16% compared to the previous model. It also worked with Peking University Third Hospital to develop a better way to detect breathing issues during sleep. With the NFC version, the band can also be used as a car key.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 starts at CNY 250 for the base model (Rs.2900/-), and CNY 300 (Rs.3500/-) for the NFC version. There is also a ceramic special edition for CNY 350 (Rs.4000/-) that has a metal body.

With the quick change straps, you can customize the look of the band in four colors – pink, black, white, and blue.
