Previous Leaks about Xiaomi Band 8
Xiaomi Band 8 Design Unchanged but with a Larger Screen
Comparing Xiaomi Band 6 and Xiaomi Band 7 generations, these wristbands have a similar appearance with a watch face enclosed in a silicone strap. However, regarding the screen size, Xiaomi Band 7 is slightly larger than its predecessor. Therefore, I predict that Xiaomi Band 8's design will remain unchanged, but the screen size will be increased to expand the display space for users.

Xiaomi Band 8 to Support Wireless Charging, Enhanced Battery
In its predecessor, the Xiaomi Band 7, the device featured a 180 mAh battery, providing users with approximately 14 days of basic usage. Therefore, for Xiaomi Band 8, I hope the device's battery capacity will be upgraded for even longer usage time. This figure could be 200 mAh, offering around 17 days of usage, for instance.

I believe this is a truly useful feature as it allows users to easily charge the device without spending much time searching for compatible accessories. This also makes me think about users taking advantage of the wireless reverse charging feature on Xiaomi's premium smartphones. This way, users won't have to worry about accessories running out of battery midway, as they can use the phone as a power bank.
Xiaomi Band 8 will be equipped with new Bluetooth technology to enhance the accuracy of its features (illustration: Xiaomi Band 7).

How much is Xiaomi Band 8? When will Xiaomi Band 8 be released?
Currently, I haven't found any confirmed information about the official release date of Xiaomi Band 8. However, according to Gizchina, Xiaomi's new smart wristband has officially entered mass production and is expected to be released simultaneously with Xiaomi 13 Ultra (around April or May). As for the price, based on the 1.29 million VND price of Xiaomi Band 7, I believe that at the time of release, Xiaomi Band 8 will be priced around 1.3 - 1.4 million VND. This will be a very reasonable figure considering the features and upgrades that Xiaomi Band 8 will integrate.
