Here’s a more in-depth look at what we can expect at the event.

Mi Band 6

The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 will succeed the brand’s popular Mi Band 5 fitness tracker. The fitness tracker was launched in March earlier this year in China and features a larger 1.56-inch AMOLED touchscreen display and offers up to 14 days of battery life on a single charge, as per Xiaomi claims. The Mi Band 6 also supports multiple sports modes and auto-detect many activities like walking, running, indoor treadmill and cycling. The band will also include a 24×7 blood pressure monitor as well as an SPO2 sensor.

New Wi-Fi Router, other products

While Reddy didn’t confirm which Router we would be seeing, he did suggest a higher-end variant and not an entry-level product. The brand currently sells the Mi Router 4C in India, which is available for Rs 999. We expect the new product to be a different series one that comes with a more expensive price tag.

Xiaomi is also expected to unveil a new security camera during the launch. This will be the brand’s third security camera in India. Reddy also hinted at a number of other products that the company could launch ahead of the festive season.
