Lei Jun, the tech entrepreneur and marketing expert behind Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, “accidentally” leaked what looks like the company’s next-generation fitness tracker, the Mi Band 2 and smartphone Mi Max, yesterday when live streaming an event through Xiaomi’s video streaming app.
Xiaomi’s first fitness tracker, Mi Band 1, has enjoyed some successes thanks to handy features and affordable price of only 13 USD. The shipment of the product surpassed 12 million last year, accounting for 15.4% of the global market share, according to a report by IDG. The company announced in March that they have sold 18.5 million Mi Bands since their launch two years ago.
The leaked pictures show that the new wristband features an LED screen, which the first-gen product failed to offer. There’s also a button near the screen.
