Alexa Amazon (not currently supported)
The Mi Band 5 may be able to hear your commands and reply with Alexa actions in a variety of languages. It will, however, only be able to respond in text. That is, there will be no Alexa voice. This is due to the fact that the band currently lacks a speaker, unless you use your phone as a speaker.
The ability to trace the menstrual cycle is another feature. Breath training is also possible with the Mi Band 5. Additionally, the camera’s remote control is a useful function (on smartphones).
SPO2 Sensor

So who is Huami?
Huami is a Beijing-based Chinese firm that was founded in 2014. It is the world’s largest wearable device company, surpassing Fitbit and Apple. It currently holds the number one market share in Indonesia, Italy, Spain, and India.
Its goal is to deliver attractive activity trackers at a reasonable price in order to encourage people to live a more active lifestyle. Huami sells a variety of fitness trackers under the Amazfit brand. They are also Xiaomi’s official provider of wearable technology. It created the Mi Band in partnership with Xiaomi.
The company’s headquarters are in Beijing, China, and Mountain View, California, in the United States.
For comparison, the Mi Band 4 was announced and then released in June 2019, whereas the previous model, the Mi Band 3, was released in May 2018, so it’s realistic to expect the Mi Band 5 to be released in a similar period.
Look and Feel
The Xiaomi Hey was released immediately after the Mi Band 3 and has very similar specifications. Aside from the screen size, the specifications are nearly identical. When the Mi Band 4 was released in the middle of 2019, the same thing happened. It’s no surprise, however, that the Mi Band 5 looks remarkably identical to its predecessor, the Mi Band 4.
When compared to the design and features of the Mi Band 4, there are no noticeable differences in the new Hey+ 1S. The display, on the other hand, has undergone a design change to provide consumers with a screen that is somewhat more rectangular in shape and has more rounded corners.
What can we expect in terms of new features to come?
A microphone was included in the Xiaomi Mi Band 4’s features, however this, along with NFC functionality, was not accessible in the global form of the tracker that the company released.
Huami and Xiaomi have already stated that they will continue to collaborate on new devices and that their long-term intentions for the Mi Band product line will stay unaltered.
Huami, on the other hand, has stated that it plans to produce and develop future versions of the Mi Band, as well as target new segments of the global market and even different client profiles than its existing ones.
NFC functionality was available on all prior Mi Band models. However, because support was limited to China, there’s a significant probability that the current situation will persist.
