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.
