Xiaomi's Mi Band range of wearable devices are known for their impressive features at affordable prices and it will continue with the Mi Band 4 as well, going by the rumoured price of the band. Ahead of the launch, Xiaomi has released a teaser image on Weibo which confirmed the rumoured colour panel and more strap colours for the Mi Band 4. The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 will be the first Mi Band from the Chinese company to come with a coloured display and it's one of the much-asked features from Xiaomi fans across the globe. To accompany the power-hungry colour display, Xiaomi is rumoured to increase the battery capacity on Mi Band 4 compared to Mi Band 3.

Xiaomi Mi Band 4: Confirmed Specifications
Xiaomi will be officially launching the Mi Band 4 in China tomorrow. The Mi Band 4 will come with a coloured display, as teased by Xiaomi officially. Also, going by the same image, we can clearly see the Mi Band 4 will have a larger display compared to its predecessors. Compared to the Mi Band 3, the Mi Band 4 will have a 40% larger display at 1.09-inch, and as mentioned, it will be a coloured panel, unlike the monochrome panel we saw in the past.
Also, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun hinted at a bigger battery on the Mi Band 4. There's no doubt that the colour display on Mi Band 4 will consume more power than the monochrome one we saw on the Mi Band 3. So Xiaomi is adding a bigger battery to the Mi Band 4 and the rumoured capacity of the battery is 135mAh. Despite the bigger battery, the Mi Band 4 may not deliver battery life as good as the Mi Band 3 or Mi Band 2, and everything depends on how Xiaomi optimises the software.
Other features of the Mi Band 4 include Bluetooth 5.0 which will help in offering better connectivity and lower power consumption as well.
Xiaomi Mi Band 4 to Have an NFC Version
Xiaomi is said to launch two variants of the Mi Band 4- one with NFC and the other one without NFC. The NFC variant of the Mi Band 4 will be limited to China only because the company offers NFC-based payments in its homeland. In India, we may see the standard Mi Band 4 making its way like the Mi Band 4. Notably, the Mi Band 4 is already available for pre-order via Ali Express for $49 (non-NFC variant). In India, the price of the Mi Band 4 could be Rs 1,999 or Rs 2,499. At the moment, India launch details are unknown, but Xiaomi might launch it alongside the Redmi K20 series next month.
