Mijia Weibo post confirming new wearables

The Mi Band 5 is expected to bring a 1.2-inch OLED color display and NFC on global units which would allow for contactless payments. Up until now, NFC was only available on Chinese Mi Band units. Apart from the update display and expanded NFC functionality we don’t know much about the new band.

According to speculation, the Mi Band 5 will launch at CNY 180 ($25) in China. As usual, the wearable will arrive to global markets later on.

Guess you are a year late! Mi Band 3 came in May 2018 in China and September 2018 to India. And Mi Band 4 came by June 2019 and to India by September. You are late!

ahahah. Usually, when a manufacturer gets enough support from users they tend to develop the new one faster..The main challenge is keeping the price same as before and they do it by ordering lots of supplies
