Mi Smart Band 6 NFC: Contactless Payment for the Post-Pandemic Era
Living in the shadow of the pandemic got us thinking about how to reconstruct a smart, healthy and stress-free life under the new norms of social distancing. To help users adopt that changing lifestyle, Xiaomi is re-shaping its technological innovations, starting from the day-to-day wearables.
Back in March 2021, Xiaomi introduced the Mi Smart Band 6 which includes the SpO2 function to provide health indications on users’ respiratory system and other all-encompassing health tracking features such as sleeping and stress-level detection, breathing guidance to help users to take control of their overall physical and mental health.
Xiaomi UK has partnered with the all-in-one money app Curve, to bring contactless payments. By adding the full-fledged NFC feature, the new version now offers a fast, secure and convenient way to pay. Payments are made more efficiently than ever, no matter if it’s for picking up daily groceries, paying for public transport or even simply grabbing a coffee during users’ daily running routine. Besides that, the all-new Mi Smart Band 6 NFC version now also offers built-in Amazon Alexa, expanding hands-free experience for smart homeowners.
