In an impressive showcase at MWC 2024 in Barcelona, Xiaomi has once again set the bar high in the wearable technology space with the global unveiling of the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro.
Originally introduced to the Chinese market in August last year, this highly anticipated fitness tracker is now making waves internationally, bringing a host of advanced features designed to cater to health enthusiasts and tech-savvy individuals alike.
Introducing the Smart Band 8 Pro: A Fusion of Elegance and Cutting-edge Technology
At the heart of the Smart Band 8 Pro’s appeal is its visually striking 1.74-inch AMOLED display, which not only offers a resolution of 336 x 480 pixels but also brings to life 16.7 million colors with unparalleled clarity.
The display’s sharpness, sitting at an impressive 336ppi, is further enhanced by a fluid 60Hz refresh rate. This ensures that users get to enjoy a vibrant viewing experience, with the added benefit of 600 nits peak brightness for easy readability in sunny conditions. The display’s resilience is assured by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, marrying durability with sleek design.
Weighing in at a mere 22.5g and boasting a slim profile of 9.99mm, the Smart Band 8 Pro is a marvel of modern engineering. It’s constructed from skin-friendly and antibacterial materials, ensuring comfort and safety for all-day wear.
The device’s aesthetic appeal is further boosted by elegant leather straps and a robust shell made of fiber high-strength polymer with NCVM coating, emphasizing its premium quality.

This enables continuous tracking of vital health metrics such as heart rate, blood oxygen, stress levels, sleep patterns, and women’s health, ensuring users have a comprehensive overview of their wellbeing.
Fitness aficionados will appreciate the Smart Band 8 Pro’s offering of over 150 sports modes, tailored to suit a wide variety of activities and preferences.
