Mi Band fans, rejoice! At long last, the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 has made its way to the Philippines.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 is now available through Xiaomi’s online and offline stores, and through their Viber Community, for a price of Php1,790.

Initially launched last June, the Mi Band 5 gets to have a larger 1.1-inch colored OLED screen that now displays more interesting watch faces from popular shows like Case Closed (Detective Conan), Spongebob: Squarepants, and more.
Xiaomi has also updated its charging mechanism. Instead of removing the strap every time it needs a recharge, the charging cable was redesigned to magnetically attach on the back of the Mi Band — a departure from the dock-style charger that older Mi Bands have.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 also have female health tracking. Plus, the usual activity, sleep and exercise monitoring. You can check the full specs list below.
