Just days after Xiaomi's CEO confirmed the release date, we now know all of the juicy Mi Band 2 details.

The 24/7 activity tracker will come with a 0.42-inch OLED screen that's covered by scratch resistant glass and an anti-fingerprint coating for that extra layer of protection.

That's joined by a single physical button just below the display that'll let you scroll through three different screens. That's time, steps and heart rate information. It's slightly surprising there's no screen dedicated to distance though.

 

Xiaomi claims the silicone strap holding that screen in place is made from a more breathable, anti-sweat material and will be available in black, orange, green and blue colours.

It's been slapped with an IP67 water and dust-resistance certification, which means you can wear it in the shower and it's suitable to get a little splash of water when you're washing the dishes or your hands.

As far as tracking goes, you still get an optical heart rate monitor, which will apparently offer improved heart rate tracking accuracy. A new pedometer algorithm coupled with ultra low power accelerometers will also similarly deliver improved step tracking.

It'll also offer sleep tracking breaking down your deep sleep and light sleep patterns. A built-in vibration motor also means the introduction of inactivity alerts, giving you buzz when you've been sitting too long at your desk.

With the addition of a display, you do get some smartphone notification love here as well. It'll vibrate when there's incoming calls and texts. It's pretty basic, but that's no real surprise here. Like its predecessor, the Mi Band 2 can be used to unlock a selection of Android smartphones. 

The Mii Fit app has been given a makeover introducing a new-look UI, and adding more sections to drill into your data. It'll work with Android phones running 4.4 or later and iPhones running iOS 7.0 and above.

In terms of battery life, the Mi Band 2 packs a 70mAh battery that can deliver up to 20 days on standby. That sounds impressive, but as we found testing the Mi Band Pulse, we'll reserve judgement until we've had some time to try it out.

So how much will the Mi Band 2 cost? It's going on sale in China only on 7 June for 149Yuan. That's roughly $22.
