Realme is making a fitness tracker to compete with the Xiaomi Mi Band
The cheap fitness band market is set to be a highly competitive space in 2020 as Xiaomi and others push their affordable devices, and now another brand is set to join the fray.
Chinese phone manufacturer Realme has previously confirmed that it’s working on a fitness tracker, and we now know that it’s set to arrive in February.
We don’t yet have an exact release date for the Realme fitness band, but the company’s India CEO Madhav Shethat has confirmed that it will be launching some time in February.
Shethat has previously teased the device on stage by wearing it in front of a crowd, but the company has yet to reveal the specs or price of the device.
We know from this tease that it will be available in a yellow color, but it’s currently unclear if other shades will also be available. It also looks to have a silicone band, which may be the only strap option available for the fitness tracker.
A press render shared recently on Weibo – a Chinese social networking site – has given us the best look yet at the Realme fitness tracker, again showing it in yellow, but it sounds like we shouldn’t have long to wait until we get an even closer, official look at the device.
Realme may take to Mobile World Congress at the end of February to announce its new fitness tracker. The company also has a variety of other products in the pipeline, including headphones and power banks, so we may hear about them in February too.
